Sarah Palin: Hunt down Assange like a terrorist
Potential GOP presidential contender Sarah Palin wins the prize for most feverish reaction to the WikiLeaks release with this new Facebook post:

The latest round of publications of leaked classified U.S. documents through the shady organization called Wikileaks raises serious questions about the Obama administration’s incompetent handling of this whole fiasco.

First and foremost, what steps were taken to stop Wikileaks director Julian Assange from distributing this highly sensitive classified material especially after he had already published material not once but twice in the previous months? Assange is not a "journalist," any more than the "editor" of al Qaeda’s new English-language magazine Inspire is a "journalist." He is an anti-American operative with blood on his hands. His past posting of classified documents revealed the identity of more than 100 Afghan sources to the Taliban. Why was he not pursued with the same urgency we pursue al Qaeda and Taliban leaders?
..
..
It's first worth noting that there is no evidence that Assange has "blood on his hands." In a review of a previous round of leaks on Afghanistan, the Pentagon found no evidence that anyone had been endangered.

But more important: Palin is advocating that Assange be pursued like an al-Qaida operative. In the current context, it's not unreasonable to interpret that to mean he should be assassinated.

Wow, this woman is off her rocker. If (when) something happens to Assange, is she going to be gloating about it?

8. I guess she forgot
to twatter about CheneyCo. outing Valerie Plame and the blood on his hands for doing that.

Calls for Assange to be prosecuted or worse rise from a fundamental inability to accept the rise of transparency and the failure of the old-school intelligence and diplomatic schools who are still farting around with 20th Ct. tech.

25. I was just thinking that ... she should be used as a litmus test.
Iow, you KNOW you're on the wrong side of an issue when she is for it.

She probably just did more to boost Assange's popularity around the globe than he could have dreamed of.

27. She doesn't..she has a ghost Facebook writer..a failed LA scriptwriter..Rebecca A. Mansour.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/nov/26/sarah-palin-white-house-book-tour

she was an LA scriptwriter until she reinvented herself as a blogger when she set up Conservatives4Palin in protest at what she felt was the unfair way the vice-presidential candidate was treated in the 2008 election. She describes herself as an "ordinary barbarian", and since having helped Palin write her first book, Going Rogue, she has become her unofficial mouthpiece, writing draft speeches and putting out Tweets and Facebook entries in her name.

29. Ordinary barbarian? What a nut.
Plus, I know she never writes her own internets or speeches. I just have to put it in print whenever I can.

whether or not shining the light on governments' actions is a good or a bad thing.

34. He's got protection, you know, Ms. Palin
If he's killed, SOMEONE will release the encryption key to that "insurance file". Then all Hell breaks loose.

I'm sure he's mentioned that already to the authorities.
