the other kind of leak

Buzz buzz goes the blogosphere.

Tweets about wikileaks.
Daniel Ellsberg is reputed to suppose Assange might be assassinated.
Federal government is reputed to be seeking contact with Assange.

But no hard sources, no names, just rumor and supposition.

And the drama, there isn't really any.
This is not a situation which can be resolved by force or threats.
Intervention is a lose lose scenario.

If Assange has anything the feds are perfectly aware that he probably has several deadman switches set up to make the release.

I know I would.
