U.S. Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman says that the controversial Wikileaks web site founder, Julian Assange, should be prosecuted for releasing thousands of classified documents.
"He ought to be indicted,'' Lieberman said on the Fox News Channel. "I think it's the most serious violation of the Espionage Act in our history.''
Lieberman's voice is heard nationally because he is the Senate chairman of the homeland security committee.
