I Fully Support Julian Assange And Everything He Stands For

Julian Assange Should Be Assasinated... Julian Assange, while professing to be a proponent of peace, is providing aid and comfort to terrorists in the war against Christianity, the Western World, and all things Not Islam. Julian Assange has thrown a monkey wrench into the often private, and frequently frank communications and discourse between nations that is necessary if the world is to find peace and maintain peace. The release of the documents instead of dropping bombshells that would terribly embarrass the United States, Mr. Assange's ob<x>jective, has instead demonstrated that the US State Department is more capable than many of us thought and the the US Government in general has been more honest and forthcoming than many of us believed -- some of those like myself who support a reasonable level of classification and secrecy in government.

What Julian Assange did in releasing hundreds of thousands of documents, to which he had no right and subsequent to requests and pleas from the US Government that he not release them, was nothing less than an act of war against the US. Those who wage war on the US should expect to face violent retaliation. Because Julian Assange is not a head of state, he can legally be assassinated by an executive Order of the US President under both US and International law. Personally, I hope that Julian Assange spends every moment of his life wondering if the cross hairs of an assassin are focused sharply between his eyes.

VendettA12 -- As Conceptualclarity pointed out, you have your facts in error regarding the Plame affair. Additionally, people on all sides "Leak" information all the time. Whoever leaked in the Plame affair, probably Armitage, disclosed no undercover agents. Valery Plame was not at the time, if she ever had been, an undercover agent or Case Officer and the leak did nothing to put her in danger. Her husband lied in his public statements about what he found on his Africa trip, which was approved by his wife for political purposes to begin with. Additionally, a single leak does not equate to the random theft and publication of hundreds of thousands of emails and "cables" by the military and the State Department.

I personally supported the war in Iraq for reasons I have written about extensively -- if you really care, you can find them on EP. My main complaint in Iraq is that we were not brutal enough and swift enough in putting down the insurrectionists after we had defeated the Iraqi government and military and we made some really dumb moves in not coopting some of the people and groups who would have supported us in reconstruction, making them enemies.

I opposed the war in Afghanistan, and President Bush's decision not to fight a full blown war there made sense at the time -- no foreign military has never triumphed in Afghanistan for many reasons but mostly because of the terrain and the tribal nature of the people. Ultimately we will leave Afghanistan as every other army has done, without achieving our long term ob<x>jectives. We should have just nuced them and turned the entire place into a glass parking lot. They want to live in 7th century conditions without roads or electricity, medicine, etc and we should simply let them do so while monitoring them to ensure another group like Al Qaeda does not take advantage and if or when they do, bomb them back to the stone age.
