HAS HOLDER COME ALIVE? – AT 9:55 A.M. ET:  Wiki kingpin Julian Assange, who believes he is full of goodness and grace, was on TV earlier this evening, saying that he's been told he may be indicted in the United States under our espionage laws.

Good, good, good.  That's what he deserves.  If he thinks he's on the side of the angels, fine.  But others who've thought the same thing, but had a higher regard for their fellow law-abiding citizens, have broken the law, then, in the spirit of civil disobedience, presented themselves for arrest.

Assange has a host of problems.  He's wanted in Sweden on a rape charge, and is entitled to the presumption of innocence.  But I hope he will have to answer charges in this country as well.

We've been very critical here of Eric Holder, our very political attorney general.  But if he pursues Assange vigorously, we'll be happy to give him the credit.  I'm not convinced yet.  There apparently is a secret grand jury meeting in Virginia.  Let's see if an indictment is handed down.  Stay tuned.
