US Government to stop leaks from Wikileaks

US: The US Government will try to stop the flow of documents by Wikileaks, said Vice President Joseph Biden today.

In statements to NBC's program Meet The Press, Biden did not reveal details of the government's plan, but he issued strong criticisms of the founder of the site, Julian Assange who expressed the fear of being extradited to the US.

Biden said that if Assange plotted with a member of the US army to obtain restricted documents that is different from a journalist receiving information from a secret source.

A young US soldier is in detention suspected of being the source for the revelation of some 250,000 US confidential diplomatic documents published by Wikileaks.

Meanwhile in London, lawyers for Assange denounced the intentions of the British press to discredit the image of their client by publishing details of the sexual charges against him.

The lawyers claim that the accusations of assumed sexual misconduct are part of a conspiracy by the Swiss authorities to extradite their client and hand him over to the US.
