Letter From Canada: Why Is America So Furious About Wikileaks?

The most baffling thing about the Wikileaks Cablegate kerfuffle is the massive foot-shooting overreaction across the entire American political spectrum. Here in the rest of the world (okay, in Canada), we've already moved on, because (to date) the cables are more shrug-inducing than explosive?but US senators are still in the throes of a bizarre frenzy of rabid chest-beating and tooth-gnashing. Dianne Feinstein, a Democrat, has called for Julian Assange's prosecution, despite the general consensus that he hasn't actually committed any American crime. Mitch McConnell, a Republican, has a slightly clearer-eyed view; he wants the law changed so that Assange can be prosecuted as a terrorist. Joe Lieberman wants a criminal investigation of not just Assange but also the New York Times.
