I beg to differ. Journalists are assassinated regularly for their work. More often than not this happens as the result of investigations into corruption. I wouldn't put Assange's work over what those people are doing.

Assassination is already illegal, there is no legal precedent to fight on that front. On the other hand, letting Julian Assange be judged as guilty here sets further legal precedent that it is illegal to published leaked classified information.
