Hunt WikiLeaks chief down like Osama bin Laden: Sarah Palin demands Assange is treated like Al Qaeda terrorist

Sarah Palin has demanded that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is hunted down like Osama bin Laden.

In an extraordinary outburst on Facebook, the former Alaska governor attacked the White House for '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?.' she wrote.

'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?'

Palin claimed that the administration's inability to hunt down Assange showed a lack of effort.

It emerged today that the U.S. has opened a criminal investigation into whether the 39-year-old could be charged under its Espionage Act for releasing secret diplomatic documents.

And he is facing a separate criminal inquiry in his native Australia where police are investigating whether the latest leak has broken any local laws.

Mr Assange, who is believed to be in London, is already facing a criminal investigation in Sweden where two women have accused him of rape.

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder today said the American government is in the midst of an 'active, ongoing criminal investigation' into WikiLeaks.

The latest disclosures, involving classified and sensitive State Department documents, jeopardised the security of the nation, its diplomats, intelligence assets and relationships with foreign governments, General Holder said.

Speaking to the Washington Post, General Holder did not confirm whether Mr Assange would be charged for violations of the Espionage Act, nor whether such an indictment was imminent.

But former CIA general council Jeffrey H Smith told the newspaper: 'I'm confident that the Justice Department is figuring out how to prosecute him.'

Mr Assange was last night warned that he could face criminal charges if he ever returns to Australia.

Australian attorney general Robert McClelland said police are investigating whether the latest leak of secret U.S. documents had broken any Australian laws.

There have also been claims that the U.S. is putting pressure on Australia to cancel Mr Assange's Australian passport., but this was flatly denied by Mr McClelland.

A range of options were under consideration by Australian government agencies in response to the latest disclosure of classified U.S. material, he said.

Mr McClelland told reporters there were 'potentially a number of criminal laws' that could have been breached.

Australia's Defence Minister Stephen Smith said later that a cross-government committee was studying the documents to see what damage could have been done by their release.

Mr Smith said: 'We need to take it... step by step, but our starting and end point is essentially protecting Australia's national interest.

'This is an act which again one has no option but to absolutely condemn it. It potentially puts national security interests and it puts the safety and welfare of individuals at stake.'

Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard last week condemned the planned leaks as reckless and potentially harmful to national security interests.

Senior U.S. politicians, meanwhile, have launched a series of scathing attacks against Wikileaks, even demanding for the website to be treated as a terrorist organisation.

Peter King, a Republican congressman and incoming chairman of the House homeland security committee, called on Washington to pursue aggressively Wikileaks and Mr Assange for violating the Espionage Act.

Senator Joe Lieberman, chairman of the Senate homeland security committee, said those responsible for the 'outrageous, reckless and despicable' leaks 'are going to have blood on their hands'.

He urged the U.S. to do everything it could to shut down the whistle-blowing website.

According to Peter Hoekstra, the senior Republican on the House intelligence committee, the documents contained a 'whole number of time bombs' and he described the likely breakdown in trust between the US and other countries as a 'catastrophic issue'.

Mr Assange is already facing a criminal investigation in Sweden where two women have accused him of rape.

He strongly denies the charges, which stem from his encounters with two women during a visit to Sweden in August.

Court documents filed by a Swedish prosecutor show Mr Assange is suspected of raping and sexually molesting a woman in the town of Enkoping, central Sweden.

He is suspected of sexual molestation and unlawful coercion of the second woman in Stockholm.

The prosecutor's office began an investigation into allegations of rape against Mr Assange in September.

The office now wants to detain him for questioning. If the request is granted, authorities could issue an international arrest warrant.

'The reason for my request is that we need to interrogate him. So far, we have not been able to meet him to carry out the interrogations,' said Marianne Ny, leading the case for the Prosecution Authority.

A police report shows that the women had met Mr Assange in connection with a seminar he gave in Stockholm on August 14. The women filed their complaints together six days later.

Investigators initially disagreed on how to deal with the case.

A Stockholm prosecutor started a rape investigation that was dropped by the city's chief prosecutor a day later. Ms Ny reopened it the following week.

He had been seeking to build a base in Sweden, where some his servers are located, because of its strict journalist protection laws.

Swedish immigration authorities denied Mr Assange a residence permit and earlier this month he said he may seek political asylum in Switzerland.

I watch that damned show every time it's on hoping and wishing that all IS right with the universe and some fucking grizzly eats this stupid bitch for breakfast.

Please Mother Nature, if there was ever a better time to remind us all the power you wield, I sure can't figure one out.

What? Does she mean totally ignore him and let him live in a cave with a full medical team for 10 years while we go catch other people totally unrelated to him?

~1~ · 11-30-2010, 10:11 AM

yeah, I'm thinking Mr. Assange can sleep well knowing what he'll be up against.

God Bless WikiLeaks. It's exactly what we need to offset the bullshit avalanche from the government and media. It's very existence proves that the governments of the world can no longer fully control what we know about them, and in an age where information is becoming the greatest source of power, that has to scare the living shit out of them. So, like I said, "God Bless Wikileaks!"

Oh, and I think I figured out how Sarah Palin became so important to so many people despite being a styrofoam brained dipshit: she sold her soul to Satan. Fortunately, the Prince of Darkness possesses intellect greater than we can imagine, so there's no way he's going to let this go on forever. I expect a mama grizzly accident in the near future, perhaps exactly as Oneder described.

ever notice how all politicians have that fake ass smile? their mouth is smiling but the rest of their face looks strained

The hypocrisy never ends. Any politician talking about Assange having blood on his hands should look in the mirror.

how to win any argument in america:

"he's a terrorist"

John F. Kerry · 12-01-2010, 08:20 AM

its funny in some ways that the reason more people arent up in arms about this is imo because its happening to the dem administration.... like a lot of the people who are so gung ho on national security are only half caring about this because it seems to only be stuff about the current admin and foreign leaders... neither of which seems like it will harm national security too much and probably only is important for embaressment factor.

on the other hand, i think in a lot of ways its a good thing to have this stuff come out- except for the bad parts or if bad shit results, but i mean it causes some good things-
first its nice to know what actually happens and to have freedom of information... i sure wish julian assange would release internal memos of the bush admin in the run up to the war in iraq and also ones that discuss why bob meuller and john ashcroft were gonna resign.... but those are probably more secret than just "secret" like top secret , etc... which low level people like bradley manning dont have access to.

another reason its cool is because this puts iran on notice that just about everyone in the world is not just worried about them, but advocating regime change done by the us and the west... thats pretty crazy to think about that 3/4s of the middle east (or at least their governments if not the poor uneducated farmers who hate infidels) support regime change in iran done by the us, or at the very least a devastating attack on their nuclear program.... its good because this gives iran one more reason to negotiate.... they have got to understand that it would be more safety for them if they give up nukes then if they try to get their hands on one and force the west to overthrow their government.... and whos gonna stand up and say no? saudi? no . egypt? no. russia? no.
china.... meh, probably not.

i like information and freedom and openness so in some sense i think this is awesome... but at the same time i do see how it can be bad in a variety of ways so im conflicted about it- this is the same exact argument people had when the pentagon papers were published.... information is the most valuable resource.

John F. Kerry · 12-01-2010, 08:23 AM

palin is like the republican obama... pretty face, appeals to the base, extremely and almost dangerously inexperienced....

so if obama hasnt caused the apocalypse i cant imagine why people are so worried about her as pres. she couldnt do much worse than obaminator.

~1~ · 12-01-2010, 08:46 AM

Dude, I hope one day you'll be able to pull your head out of Bush's asshole and see it was the eight years before the last two years that have fucked us up beyond belief.

And as long as the Republicrats are making their money, nothing is going to change.

If I were a smart politician, I might consider "leaking" information of this kind to force Iran's hand without resorting to violence. If I wasn't that smart, I might have some random PFC be the source of the "leak."

Now I know what you write your congressmen about. It's always about Iran with you israel firsters. You don't care if it's done with American blood and treasure. Do you honestly believe that 3/4's of the ME has more fear of Iran than it does the US or israel? And they support an attack that will undoubtedly suck them in also and quite possibly destroy the region?

Funny how you talk about negotiating. Iran offered a sweet deal back in '03 that bush/cheney turned down flat because after all, Iran was part of the axis of evil. We're the ones who refuse to negotiate without pre-conditions. We want Iran to give up it's NPT right to enrich uranium so those are our pre-conditions before we even will talk. What do you think their response would be?

And the IAEA and our bloated intelligence agencies hasn't found any evidence that Iran is diverting uranium to be enriched to weapons grade. But what the fuck, lets blow their shit away anyway

**SageTree** · 12-01-2010, 01:35 PM

Stoneric... after all this time, I don't know how you find the energy to reply and don't look for the big knife instead.
Don't get me wrong....I enjoy reading your posts, but it only takes me a couple of replies before I feel like I should start marking up my wrists.

and then call the hot line.
