"Assange is going to make a nice bride in prison. Screw the terrorist.
He'll be eating cat forever."

Charming! Further emails reveal that the strategies that were enabled
by things like the US Patriot Act which were implemented by the Bush
and Cheney administration after the attacks of 9-11 were being used
not simply to track down and destroy terrorist networks but to track
down and destroy media organisations. This further email says:
"
Take down the money. Go after his infrastructure. The tool we are
using to nail and de-construct Wiki are the same tools used to
dismantle and track aQ [Al Qaeda]. Thank Cheney & 43-
meaning the 43rd President of the United States. It continues:
Big Brother owns his liberal terrorist arse."

Burton states:

"Ferreting out [Julian Assange's] confederates is also key. Find out
what other disgruntled rogues inside the tent or outside [sic]. Pile
on. Move him from country to country to face various charges for the
next 25 years. But, seize everything he and his family own, to include
every person linked to Wiki."
