This whole legal case against Julian ange...?

Do you not think it's just served to strengthen his image as an anti-establishment human rights leader? Seems rather silly to me, and I can't see what possible case the US could file against him. It's called freedom of the press? It's not like he procured the cables himself, and even if he had done then that would be considered a crime against the US government, but he's Swedish! What are your opinions on this?
