Hillary should resign from State right after Ass-ange and his puppet master Sor-ass stop utilizing precious resources like oxygen.

Honestly, my opinion is how DARE this guy tell any American what to do? Who the HELL does he think he is... and I am no fan of Hillary.

Assange will be sipping tea with plutonium in it if he messes with Russians.

Actually, at this point, it doesn’t matter what he says anymore.

Anyone interested is starting a betting pool? If he makes it to the end of the year without assuming room temperature, I will be very surprised.

I don’t know.

Another way to look at this is: it’s a convenient way for Hillary to get out of the administration just in time to set up her 2012 campaign infrastructure.

And she can say that Obama sided with the UN and she sided with America’s interests.

Just sayin’...it’s a possible strategy.

Drudge is pushing this, bigtime. He has been doing yeoman’s work exposing Obama, but he really, really hates Hillary, having been confronted by her during Monicagate. If she ever gets back into the White House, she will have his head.

And, I must say, I agree with him. She would be just as bad as Obama, but a whole lot smarter and more ruthless.

And a lot of this stuff isn’t even spying. It’s just reporting on what you’ve done, which is the essence of what the state department does. I met with so-and-so, and here’s what he thinks about this-and-that. The officials know their conversations are with the US government, they’re not under false pretenses.

What they DON’T expect is that they’re going to leak out in public.

Where is Assange? Doesn’t he operate from a hiding place, like a terrorist?

I don’t think so. If she resigns after having done a wonderful job as Secretary of State (as all the MSM will say), then she has finally put something on her record.

But if she resigns because she was forced out by the left, then she is washed up.

Barry wouldn’t mind seeing Hilary taken out.

True. She could claim that she tried to warn Obama of information security problems, but he chose not to listen. The Clintons are a tricky bunch.

In any case, it’s refreshing to see someone other than Bush being blamed for things.

I tend to agree with you. It could be one or the other.

The ultimate loser is the US. The NWO is achieving it’s goals.

And doing it without a shot fired, which doesn’t say much for humanity.

> I want Assange prosecuted under any number of laws. Marched into a 10 by 10 foot cell and left to rot.

That’s a pretty good start. Now make the cell out of concrete and put 1/4 of an inch of water in it.

All media eventually degrades. I have an old Zip drive lying around in a box somewhere, haven’t touched it in ages. For backups I just use a USB external drive, with a mind to pre-emptively replace it every year or two.

Last time I had to back up a web server, it was in a corporate environment, so I just used the existing backup system there.

I’ve had excellent luck with a 4 GB USB flash drive that I carry around with me- I have been using it since they were expensive without issue. I am in IT, so I use it frequently.

“Go to some of the Ron Paul and Tea Party message boards and they like this Assange guy because they think he’s exposing corruption of the federal government.”

I think that there is some truth to that view. However, he’s also exposing a lot of sensitive info that very well may get people - a LOT of people - killed, up to and including lighting off some real instabilities that could turn into real wars and get real US servicemembers killed. That trumps the first part IMHO. By a lot.

Go figure- John Bolton doesn’t think she did this- we are living in strange times.

Easily settled: cage match, Assange vs. Clinton, 15 rounds or until the first submission.

I know whose cankles I’m putting my money on.
