"As an initial matter, there is no doubt that WikiLeaks is in an unpopular position right now. Many feel their publication was offensive.

And the repeated calls from Members of Congress, the government, journalists, and other experts crying out for criminal prosecutions or other extreme measures cause me some consternation."
