Sarah Palin: target WikiLeaks' Julian Assange like the Taliban
Found on Computerworld on Tuesday, 30 November 2010
Her outburst comes during a week when the WikiLeaks founder faced troubling accusations, with the Interpol international police organisation putting him on 'red notice' for alleged offences.
The accusations began to surface in August. Around that month Assange was preparing to release a stash of communications from US ambassadors.
Palin continued: "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?"
I may be pedantic, but it doesn't look like the Taliban have been beaten. Their world-wide network is still fully operational, money still flows, training camps still exist, attacks against enemy forces are still carried out and Bin Laden has still not been captured; after more than nine years of fighting them. All Palin does is babble without any understanding.
