WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange is being hunted by our government for being a "Traitor and Terrorist". As I write this, our government's best legal eagles (or perhaps "Hawks" would be a better phrase) are racking their brains, and searching through every statute they can think of, trying to find the best one that they can prosecute him on. Of course, they have to find him first. But, if I know our government, no expense of our tax dollars will be spared in bringing him to "justice".
The United States has officially opened a criminal investigation, since the release of "tens of thousands" of secret documents were made public. This is the third massive document release by WikiLeaks. Each one has been an embarrassment to the government. It's got them down right pissed off, and out for blood. Attorney General Eric Holder said, "To the extent that we can find anybody who was involved in the breaking of American law,.. they will be held responsible."
(Of course that probably doesn't pertain to anybody exposed by these leaks and their content. But, I'm just guessing on that.)
Sarah Palin, ever eager to jump on her iconic soapbox, has called Assange "an anti-American operative with blood on his hands." according to an article by Newsmax.com. (I suspect she feels that way about anyone who doesn't tow the party line that's consistent with her viewpoint.)
The other bottom line on her is..... Who cares what she thinks?..... Didn't she used to work in the government, somewhere? ;-}
The really scary part of this whole thing, besides the down and dirty content of these documents, is... What about the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution? Remember that little document we all used to believe in? Is the Constitution becoming one of those "gaps in the laws" that Attorney General Holder is moving to close?
I pray not,...... but things are looking bleak on the fronts of Liberty.
Always remember..... "Secrecy Breeds Tyranny". It's our country, we deserve a say in the roll it plays in the world.
