This would be hilarious if it were not so pathetically sad.
We've had them from the US and Canada, now for an Aussie idiot...
From the Australian: WikiLeaks no security risk: Smith
First:
Quote:
Defence Minister Stephen Smith said yesterday the taskforce had examined all of the WikiLeaks cables on Iraq and concluded they had not damaged the national interest.
then
Quote:
Asked why WikiLeaks and its co-founder, Mr Assange, should be prosecuted if the leaks posed no threat, Mr Smith said future material could threaten Australia's national security.
So its a sort of preemptive prosecution being advocated?
You can't make this stuff up...
Slowly they are waking up...
Remember you heard it first here while even these guys were chewing this over...
WikiLeaks prosecution ‘will set a dangerous precedent’
Quote:
Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism faculty and officers tell President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder that “while we hold varying opinions of Wikileaks’ methods and decisions, we all believe that in publishing diplomatic cables Wikileaks is engaging in journalistic activity protected by the First Amendment” and that “as a historical matter, government overreaction to publication of leaked material in the press has always been more damaging to American democracy than the leaks themselves.”
The biggest threat to the US is from its government's self inflicted wounds.

Here is another view from the Spectator:
The Wikileaks Double Standard
At last... some sense out of Australia... IMHO

The Bogus Assange Rape Case
Quote:
One woman said she had consensual sex with Assange, but that the condom broke and he used his body weight to hold her down, presumably to complete the act. She hosted a party for him the next evening. A few days later, Assange had sex with another woman—allegedly while she was asleep—also without wearing a condom. Both women reportedly acknowledged that they freely chose to engage in sex acts with Assange—but that some of his conduct was nonconsensual.

Quote:
Put another way, if Assange were any other guy, he would not be sitting in a British jail and there would have been no international manhunt, no matter how many times his condom broke during sex.
Shame on Sweden!
