King is way off on this one.

that reveal frank assessments of foreign leaders and the war on terror

Since when is this an act of terror?

[pnh102]

If WikiLeaks is a terrorist organization, then so is every domestic media outlet that purposefully and willfully publishes leaked classified information. That includes the Washington Post and the New York Times.

Perhaps Rep. King's ire should be focused at the individuals within the government that keep leaking this information instead. Why is no one asking the question "Why is 0bama himself allowing these leaks?" Ultimately, the buck stops with him.

[ClearCase_guy]

Information flows pretty freely in the 21st century. It's hard to stop it. I see two options:

1) Free speech. We have no secrets. If an activist uncovers a secret and wants to tell the world, we can just shrug.
2) We find people who do this and we kill them. Then, people will stop doing this.

[SouthTexas]

Like that really would change anything.

Brings to mind this left-wing SOB...

"Daniel Ellsberg (born April 7, 1931) is a former American military analyst employed by the RAND Corporation who precipitated a national political controversy in 1971 when he released the Pentagon Papers, a top-secret Pentagon study of government decision-making about the Vietnam War, to The New York Times and other newspapers."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Ellsberg
_____________________________________________________________

"As a response to the leaks, the Nixon administration began a campaign against further leaks and against Ellsberg personally. Aides Egil Krogh and David Young under John Ehrlichman's supervision created the 'White House Plumbers,' which would later lead to the Watergate burglaries."

So what is Daniel Ellsberg up to these days? Well, for one thing, he is an endorser of the Revolutionary Communist Party's "World Can't Wait" movement...

Click on the 'World Can't Wait' link just below and see: "Endorsers of the Call to Drive Out the Bush Regime Include" You may recognize a few other names as well, including the democrat chair of the House Judiciary Committee, John Conyers Jr. Conyers' name appears right after Ward Churchill's.

The RCP calls for the armed overthrow of the U.S. government...

From the website of the Revolutionary Communist Party (revcom.us or rwor.org) :

"Create Public Opinion, Seize Power: We are preparing minds and organizing forces for the time when there is a major crack in the system, whenever it comes and wherever it comes from: an opening that makes it possible to bring the future Revolutionary Army of the Proletariat (R.A.P.) into the field and wage a revolutionary armed struggle that actually has a chance of winning.

And we have said that building our party itself is the most important part of organizing forces for revolution. This is true now, and it is true looking forward to the creation of that future R.A.P. and the waging of that armed struggle.":

Effing imbecile. Too many of them in politics, unfortunately.

Nuke DC. It would bring a flash of fresh air.

[Skeez]

Terroirists? No. Spies? Yes.

[Lazamataz]

He's not an American citizen, so it's not treason. It is, however, unauthorized possession of US Secret Material, and we do have an extradition agreement with Australia.

Normal criminal prosecution should be able to extinguish this bug.

[Neoliberalnot]

I have been beating this drum for more than a year. BO, his cabinet and his czars are the #1 threats to national security. We must ask, where did wikileaks actually get this information to leak?? What other national security concerns are being leaked to America’s enemies and who are doing the deeds? BO, his czars, and cabinet members have all of our secrets in archive. Make no mistake, these anti-american politicians are selling and giving away security secrets at a record rate.

[UCANSEE2]

Seems the people really bothered by the SECOND wikileaks data dump are the politicians, because these documents reveal that ALL politicians (worldwide) are pretty much two-faced liars.

I don’t even see how that is any type of secret.

[Americanexpat]

These wikilinks assholes are no friends of the US and deserve no sympathu from us. In fact i think we should hunt them down and killem. Also charge any American who leaks classified documents like this with treson and execute em.

[penelopesire]

Somebody needs to ask where Rosa Brooks was when all of this info started leaking.For those that don’t know, she was the anti-war nut from the LA Times that Obama appointed to the Pentagon. This is not the work of some private alone. This has been done from the top(Obama) or some Obama appointment.

I wouldn’t call them a terrorist though, when traitor will do just fine. This new stuff sounds like it has the potential to set the whole world on fire.

While running Home Depot errands and hanging the XMAS lights out front I was thinking about the old 007 movies. Julian Assange is Goldfinger. Now, all we need is James Bond to kick his ass.

James? Where are you?

[bigbob]

Naw, there are other ways to deal with this.

I mean, it’s not like they’re leaking the name of Valeria Plame or anthing.

The links above will start you on some real research but there is a more fascinating look into political skulduggery as it was done in the 15th century...."Mary Tudor, Princess, Bastard, Queen".....by Anna Whitelock. Things really have not changed much other than how quick communication has become. Same players, different titles.....

[Palter]

Part of the WOT charade. We already have laws for this type of crime.

[drypowder]

Bring it into the light and the truth will set you free.

[RoseofTexas]

CAN??? how about the little f’er IS a terrorist....where ARE THE BOUNTY HUNTERS?? WE NEED SOMEONE to take this bastard OUT!! He should have been pushing up daisies by now!!!

Wikileaks: Doing the job once done by the media.

Not that I agree with the methods.

[Buckeye McFrog]

combined with this morning’s Drudge headline about Big Sis seizing some file sharing internet domains, I do not get a nice warm fuzzy about this idea.
