Wikileaks Awakens Sleeping Giant and Fills Him with Terrible Resolve

Oh, yes--we're really putting the fear of God into Julian Assange now. Obama has apparently carried out his terrible threat to release a polite letter asking Wikileaks not to publish our classified materials. And the world thought America was afraid to show its fangs. That will teach them. Oderint dum metuant, I say.
Let that be a lesson to you, Kim Jong-un: You could be next.

I don't know why Julius Assange isn't considered just another terrorist cell member, and treated appropriately. I don't believe that someone like FDR, or even JFK or LBJ, would've put up with it for a minute.

If we could just bait Assange into releasing copyrighted, rather than classified material, the administration would come down on him like a ton of bricks.

I believe the strategy is death by a thousand tiny paper cuts.

I wonder how the Chinese or Russians would have handled Assange? Has the Obama admin not yet labeled Wikileaks "Enemies of the State"?

My suspicion is that some leftwinger from the Obama admin leaked all the classified info to Assange.

According to the Bourne movies, Julian Assange was assassinated 4 years ago by a secret CIA sniper.

Maybe Julian could sort out this whole birth certificate thing?

Re: Wikileaks Awakens Sleeping Giant and Fills Him with Terrible Resolve
I have great difficulty imagining Julius Assange skulking around the US State and Defense departments. Someone is providing Assange with this information; are these leaks integral to government policy? If not, why haven't heads been rolling in the halls of power? Secretaries Gates and Clinton, at the very least, should have been terminated for egregious mismanagement.

The net is closing. There were stories in the news last week of Assange associates complaining of their being singled out by customs officials as they re-entered the country for special treatment. Electronic media was seized, laptop hard disks copied. The stories were, of course, very sympathetic to Assange's associates, as you would expect from operatives of hostile powers.
The crocodiles are drowning in their own tears. It will not end well for these guys.

I have it on the best of authority that he's already heard Mr. Obama loud and clear.

Not THE LETTER! Assange has not idea what perils await him in the form of a LETTER!

Fox News is reporting that Wikileaks has just released hundreds of thousands of classified documents to punish the United States for being whiny and annoying.

If the letter doesn't work, the pre-loaded Obama iPod will be next. Come to think of it, that actually may work....

Re: Wikileaks Awakens Sleeping Giant and Fills Him with Terrible Resolve
I agree completely with this. We should unambiguously declare that harboring Assange, or refusing to arrest and extradite him, is an act of war and that we are going to come in and get him one way or another.

Re: Wikileaks Awakens Sleeping Giant and Fills Him with Terrible Resolve
I've got a suggestion: Have the CIA, surreptitiously of course, set up a WikiLeakyLeaky.org site and offer a reward for copies of all internal documents from WikiLeaks, including information on how they get their leaks.
Offer real money.
The same goes for internal communications of all major newspapers.

Re: Wikileaks Awakens Sleeping Giant and Fills Him with Terrible Resolve
I would say go back to paper except I remember the spy who backed a truck up to the CIA and hauled off a load of secret documents. As far back as WWII the British complained America was incapable of keeping secrets. Nothing has changed, I see.
