From The Guardian this morning:
A Fox News contributor and former state department adviser has accused WikiLeaks of conducting "political warfare against the US" and called for those behind the whistleblowing website to be declared "enemy combatants" so they can be subjected to "non-judicial actions".
_______________Whiton ends with the following plea: "How much will our information-collection capabilities have to be diminished, and how many of our friends and collaborators around the world must die, (Ed: Never mind that there has been no evidence of that.) before President Obama and his friends on Capitol Hill start caring more about national security?"
Oh sure, call Julian Assange and his tribe of transparency troops "enemy combatants" so they can get the same kind of "deal" Omar Khadr got.
Compare the FoxNoise response with that of Britain's deputy prime minister, Nick Clegg, who backs an investigation into the torture allegations.
An ocean away and worlds apart . . . .

If you've followed the campaign against Ahmadinejad and Iran - who isn't even Top Dog in Iran - it will give you some appreciation of the institutional nonsense which we are fed cradle to grave. Speaking of which,118 Non Aligned Nations just gave the IAEA hell for violating TOS in their latest report : including unsubstantiated allegations from US 'intelligence'.
I picked that story up at CASMII
