Last night, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange sat down for a rare, extended interview with Steve Kroft of '60 Minutes.' In what CBS has called Assange's "most extensive television interview to date," the Australian national defended his organization's mission, discussed the roots of his own anti-authoritarian philosophy, and compared WikiLeaks' core principles to "those of the U.S. Revolution."

Benedict Arnold may have been a proto-wikileaker, but he does not represent the "core principles" of the US Revolution.

Arnold got away with his treachery and treason, but his accomplice was hung by those patriots who do represent the principles and resolve of that Revolution.

Let's hope modern patriots show the same principles and resolve and make sure Assange meets the same fate.

Says uber fungus Assange: If you're a whistleblower and you have material that is important, we will accept it, we will defend you and we will publish it.

And what he did not say, and what marshmallow thrower Kroft apparently did not ask, was what info critical to Mister Assange's political allies does not see daylight. (I didn't see it, so correct me if wrong.)

Mister Assange appears to be nothing more than info-terrorist trying to weaken and control his ideological enemies by the selective leaking of damaging cables and documents.

I didn't watch the program, but I suspect the Kroft tried to sound tough while being the obedient servant.

I watched a few minutes of it. Assange gives me the creeps.

Where did CBS have to go for this interview?

Isn't this punk a wanted man in the USA?

Did CBS inform the State Department of its intentions to sit down with this fugitive?

"Did CBS inform the State Department of its intentions to sit down with this fugitive?"

With this regime of Alinski Commies, the State Department may have arranged the interview.
