WikiLeaks Reaches Out to the Pentago In a Cry For Help

The fact that he approached the O White House to review the documents and the chance to redact content, would he have done the same had President Bush still been in office? All the more reason to hang him up by his petard (after already having the life wrenched out from his miserable existence) along with the rest of the motley crew of mutineers but keeping the Fairy Leaker separated for a special kind of punishment, if you know what I mean
BUWHAHAHAHAHAHAHH!!

[NormsRevenge]

‘Rendition’ him.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

If I could work my will I know the kind of “help” I’d give those bastards.

[decimon]

Shadrack, Meshak and Pentago.

[grobdriver]

WTF?
"I'm going to put a gun to my head and pull the trigger - please help me by removing the bullets!"

[lbryce]

...As opposed to our prezz’dent who has no compunction to bow before so-called Kings.

Julian Assange catches some flak and now he suddenly grows a conscience? Gee, I’m impressed. It’s too bad he didn’t give a damn earlier about those Afghan civilians who are now endangered by his previous release of 72,000 classified reports.

Anyone who downloaded the stolen documents should be prosecuted just as you would prosecute someone for downloading a Hollywood movie or new CD.

Except the crime is espionage, not copyright violation.

[a fool in paradise]

The media made Plamegate out to be a fake but accurate case of espionage. When faced with a genuine bit of treason they don't care.

[counterpunch]

Treason and espionage is punishable by death.

I am so disgusted. Typical liberals not even taking consequences into consideration and then whining about “oopsie”. They’re just trying to cover their butts cause they now know that they have innocent blood on their hands and they should be tried for war crimes.

I say if they really cared, they would hand the rest over to the DOD and back out of publishing them. That would be the socially responsible thing to do. In person, so they can be arrested. But only a real man would do that. No honor at that supposed company.

[texmexis best]

Assange and his website need to be stopped.

[Popman]

The media will find a way top to hang any civilian deaths on Bush

The left used to blame Bush for thousands of civilian deaths now one their own is to blame

I imagine we will hear the sound of crickets

[LoneStarGI]

Hey Julian, there’s a really easy way to ensure that no civilians or soldiers are hurt when you come into possession of ‘classified’ documents involving an ‘active’ war. YOU DON’T PUBLISH THEM, PERIOD!!!! There’s a reason why even presidential documents remain locked up for decades in their libraries before finally being ‘declassed’.

[dfwgator]

The media also cheered what Daniel Ellsberg did when he released The Pentagon Papers.

[cranked]

These WikiLeaks idiots are running literally scared...as they should be.....they deserve everything they get hit with, including a JDAM! =.=

[thulldud]

Except the crime is espionage, not copyright violation.

That's the ticket. Get Wikileaks for a violation of the DMCA...that should be good for two to five years in Leavenworth.

[Dutch Boy]

I wonder who in the administration gave WikiLeaks the heads up. They need to be prosecuted too.

[Fresh Wind]

The request follows statements of regret from Assange and others at WikiLeaks that the site may have unintentionally endangered Afghan civilians...

But these bastards don't give a **** about American lives.

[a fool in paradise]

The press was more concerned about honoring the embargo on details of the final Harry Potter book than they ever have been about matters of military intelligence.
