"Is one failed attempt to crack a password really enough to embroil Assange in a felony hacking case?"
Yes, hacking government computers is a felony. It really is that simple.
Additionally, a failed attempt doesn't make something legal. If I attempt to rob a bank... because I failed I shouldn't be charged??? Yeah, no.
Assange knowingly committed a felony and got caught. I really don't get the problem here. Regardless if the punishment fits the crime, the law is there. He knew about it and decided to ignore the consequences.
