Here, let's post it again:
If found guilty of treason, what should be the punishment?
A slap or the wrist? A public hanging? What?
.....
FYI: I guess for those of you who don't watch tv or read newspapers: He's ALREADY in custody.

"A slap or the wrist? A public hanging? What?"
Depends.
Was anyone physically harmed as a result of his actions? If so, he needs to be hunted down and killed.
If no one was harmed, then he should not have to worry about being bothered by the Government.

yew tells-um skup-
I'm looking forward to the next wikileaks installment. US corporations should be a doozy. Hopefully Elezarian will be reading, in his world, every day in the boardrooms of america is like an episode of Leave it to Beaver.
I expect the revelations to show, amongst other things, how little regard for the interests of owners the boards and executives really have.

If you're referencing Manning, the soldier, that statement is absurd. It should be treason, punishable by execution.
.....
Compare: (1) Robert Ames (2) Robert Hanssen (3) Bradley Manning

Well, hopefully Manning will acknowledge the acts in open court.

Wikileaks Next Target: “A Big US Bank”
Early next year.
From what they're saying, this bank could end up like Enron.
This is not good news. Yes, I believe in freedom of speech but I do not believe in the release of confidential data targeted for its recipient exclusively.
Our economic system is still very fragile, and this could send the market into another freefall.

Thats some twisted logic papillon.
Enron ended up being Enron because the top level employees were crooks who defrauded the owners and the customers, and through Dick Cheney's energy task force the American people.
Its pretty clear that all the leadership of the major banks were involved in similarly fraudulent behavior. Unfortunately the American justice system can't or won't defend the property rights of those who were stolen from.
Hopefully Wikileaks can lay bare at least some of this process. At the very least we should see an executive or two lying before Congress. It won't be illegal of course, it was arranged that they wouldn't have to testify under oath. But my guess is that the American public would like to know just how badly they were reamed, and by whom.

Beg to differ, Jeremy.
All of the big banks were not involved in fraudulent behavior.
But I will state that they were all involved in loose lending practices which we're all still paying for.

If you can construct your sentence in a coherent form, then maybe I can respond to it.

I guess we'll find out, won't we.
What you appear to be saying is that you don't want to find out, you would rather push things under the carpet, even if Fraud was involved, for the sake of what? a bit of short term stability in the financial markets?
