Secret Stratfor Email: U.S. Has Sealed Indictment of Assange 
-------------------------------------------------------------



The whistleblowing website Wiki Leaks has published an internal email
from the private intelligence firm Stratfor that suggests the U.S.
Justice Department has obtained a sealed indictment against Wiki Leaks
founder Julian Assange. The email is one of around five million obtained
from Stratfor's servers by the hacker group Anonymous. The Justice
Department has not confirmed the existence of the secret indictment, but
has been known to have convened a secret grand jury in Virginia to bring
charges against Assange.
