8.24pm: This just in from Ewen MacAskill, the Guardian's correspondent in Washington:
International pressure on Julian Assange intensified tonight as the US attorney general, Eric Holder, disclosed that he had authorised "significant" actions aimed at prosecuting the WikiLeaks founder over the release of thousands of diplomatic cables.
The US attorney general, speaking at a press conference in Washington, said: "The lives of people who work for the American people have been put at risk. The American people themselves have been put at risk by these actions that I believe are arrogant, misguided and ultimately not helpful in any way. We are doing everything that we can."
Asked if he might mount a prosecution under the Espionage Act, Holder said: "That is certainly something that might play a role, but there are other statutes, other tools at our disposal."

Det kan ju bli så att Assange aldrig hinner utlämnas till Sverige utan att han istället snappas upp av USA och döms till några livstidsstraff. Kvar i historieböckerna kommer då två svenska vuxna kvinnors bitterfitterier finnas kvar.
Det var det Sverige kunde bidra med i jakten på wikileaks. En patetisk feministisk attack utifrån en kondom som gick sönder eller ett spermasprut på en skinka.
