WikiLeaks must be stopped

WikiLeaks is not a news organization; it is a criminal enterprise. Its reason for existence is to obtain classified national security information and disseminate it as widely as possible -- including to the United States' enemies. These actions are likely a violation of the Espionage Act, and they arguably constitute material support for terrorism. The Web site must be shut down and prevented from releasing more documents -- and its leadership brought to justice.

Assange is a non-U.S. citizen operating outside the territory of the United States. This means the government has a wide range of options for dealing with him. It can employ not only law enforcement but also intelligence and military assets to bring Assange to justice and put his criminal syndicate out of business.

Someone is really mad here. How cute. If Wikileaks would have released several thousands of pages about Taliban secrets which reveal their cash flow, the hideouts of leaders and names of informers, Thiessen would have praised Wikileaks as an important institution. But it's not so funny if your side is the one with the leak, is it? Thiessen has still the style from when he worked for Bush and Rumsfeld, helping to bring war into the middle east. In his book, you can only be a friend or an enemy; nothing between. Don't forget: "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter".
