> ASSANGE Agrees to Help Manning Crack a Password [1]

Is this what Assange is accused of doing?

1. Receiving a password hash from Manning

2. Telling Manning he'll try to crack it

3. Following up asking for more info about it (related usernames or something)

4. Never actually cracking it and no further action

Does anyone have any more specifics on what Assange actually did here to break the law? The indictment is pretty vague on this and it seems to be the central issue.
