I don't know if killing/assassinating Assange would be a wise decision. It's instant martyrdom for him and bad PR for US. Even if they kill him and manage to shutdown WL that isn't going to achieve much. Shutting down WikiLeaks to stop disclosure of state secrets is like shutting down a torrent site to stop piracy. There will be other places where whistleblowers can go if Assange/WL dies. Somewhere some newspaper is always going to be interested in boosting their rating.
