2. Yes, I see your point. But, doesn't some of this activity take place in the United States?

Are there no Wikileaks operations or employees based here in the United States?

I know that the world is becoming a smaller place, but distributing altered documents is more than just expressing an opinion. I really wish that we could find a way to protect our country from foreigners who are engaging in what amounts ro a form of political terrorism. I am certain that I would face severe consequences if I had an office in Moscow and began distributing phony documents designed to disrupt Russian elections. Putin would never tolerate that.

I understand your point though and it's a good one. This problem is not simple to solve.
