Not to mention..let's say Cates is right and they offer JA a plea to out his source. If he takes it, he's forever compromised because he will have violated one of his biggest principles: keeping his sources confidential..something JA is really big on. Which, I would think, pretty much ends Wikileaks. If he doesn't take the deal,  well...Wikileaks lives on, but he probably spends the rest of his life in Leavenworth..
