Troubled waters lie ahead for Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks. The United States Attorney General, Eric Holder, has authorized "significant" actions in the investigation of WikiLeaks and the classified documents published on the site. The 250,000 secret U.S. documents contained communications between U.S. embassies from around the world, regarding high-level information. The leaked information is a threat to national security and has caused irreparable damage to the United States, putting citizens in danger. Attorney General Holder has declined to comment when asked about search warrants and other requests under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, but did comment that "people would be misimpressioned if they think the only think we are looking at is the Espionage Act." The United States has promised to "hold people accountable as they should be." In addition, Sweden authorities have issued an arrest warrant for Assange, accusing him of rape and sexual molestation.
