The only way he couldn't win on this is if they get he himself on an espionage law, then transfer him into a military court, or set him at Gitmo with the rest of the "kinda/sorta combatants" that sit in their little legal hole, or at least that's what they could have done, but the Obama administration would look absolutely horrible if they did that to him (or anyone else new at this point) It'd be really contrived and awkward, but possible, and then once he was inside that system they could work to secure that encryption key, but of course even that wouldn't work because they're held on a hair trigger, probably would go off as soon as his extradition order to the US went through, or sooner |
I don't see how that wouldn't be a win for him either... I mean, granted it would suck for him personally, but he's suddenly a lot more famous, important and Wikileaks goes on because it's not a one man show, and he probably wins a Nobel Prize.
And the USA now looks like China. If anything that's the biggest "win" scenario.
I highly doubt he's the only one with the key. I'm sure the other Wikileak founders have it too... and I mean, there are other founders, so why does anyone thing his being in jail will stop the info?
