The soldier violated UCMJ & US Title 18 when he transferred classified documents from SIPR to NIPR. Wikileaks employees/board members can be charged as accessories after the fact or for the actual distribution of classified documents (many of these were SECRET//NOFORN). Jurisdiction was established when the soldier transfered the data from TOC or SCIF and it is regardless where the physical location of recepients was.

In other words, they are in very deep shit.
