The whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks has recently started leaking more than 250.000 US diplomatic cables. Many of these documents are classified and where not meant to be revealed to the public. The leaking of these cables has caused quite a stir in the international community and there have been calls to prosecute the websites founder and editor-in-chief, Julian Assange, in the United States under the 1917 Espionage act.
Our question is quite simple do you feel he should be prosecuted?
