Bill: WikiLeaks Will Cost Lives
The AP reports:
Former President Bill Clinton said Tuesday he expects people to lose their lives over this week's massive leak of diplomatic documents but doesn't believe the founder of the website that is posting the files has succeeded in evading U.S. authorities.
"I'll be very surprised if some people don't lose their lives," Clinton said in a speech in North Carolina. "And goodness knows how many will lose their careers."
Clinton's wife, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, has argued that the website WikiLeaks acted illegally in posting the sensitive files. Bill Clinton said after the event that it's clear that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is trying to evade the reach of American law because he knows what he did was criminal.
"That doesn't mean that he did succeed in evading the reach of American law," Clinton said.
Interpol has put Assange on its most-wanted list after Sweden issued an arrest warrant against him as part of a drawn-out rape probe involving allegations Assange has denied.
