Audacity of Truth
Kruggie to Fibbs:
"Rudeness at the proper moment can serve a purpose — as I hope I’ve demonstrated over the years. But if you vent for the sake of venting; if you alienate people you’re going to need; then you’re just being stupid."

The definitive smack down of WikiLeaker Julian Assange
Um, remind me never to get on Tunku Varadarajan’s bad side.
Warning: If you’ve got blood pressure issues, you might want to take your meds before reading Varadarajan’s piece, in which he quotes Assange – a fanatical anti-war activist from Australia – several times. What Assange’s done, in effect, is put in serious danger the lives of not just American troops but also hundreds of Afghan informants who risked their lives to help coaliton forces in Afghanistan catch terrorists – all in the name of “transparency” and “peace.”
Contemptible. Treasonous. I haven’t read much left wing opinion about this, but I wonder if the same gang who demanded more “transparency” from the Bush administration on sensitive, secret information related to war efforts in both Afghanistan and Iraq – and who applauded when bits and pieces of information that were potentially damaging to our national security were leaked to the NYT and WaPo – are cheering now? Will he, like Cindy Sheehan and Rachel Corrie and numerous other militant anti-war types, be hailed as a “hero” and “untouchable whistleblower” as well? 
Next question: What “sources” gave Assange the 91,00 pages of documents in the first place? Is this man the culprit, or just one of them?

Somewhere there should be a drone carrying a Hellfire missile with Assange’s name on it.
In other news, it turns out the suffix “-ange” is actually pronounced “-hole.”
“put in serious danger the lives of not just American troops but also hundreds of Afghan informants who risked their lives”
That is a major point, and is being ignored. What Afghan citizen is now going to risk going to the U.S. with info, knowing it will put his head on a chopping block?
How many of our troops will die for the lack of information that would have been brought to them?
Does the Left Stream Media care, or are they happily awaiting the increased body count?
If it could be proven that these criminally unconscionable leaks result in torture or death, he should be tried for treason. Perhpas if the TERRORISTS decide to turn their attention on Australia, he may rethinnk his litlte ‘world peace’ agenda. Ironic that he is for ‘ending war’ when he is stoking the very fires.
Assange has put a lot of peoples’ lives at risk. He deserves whatever he gets ! :d
I like the Hellfire missile idea.
Really. If we have a demonstrated threat to troop safety. A demonstrated threat to classified info during a time of war. And a non-citizen?
During WWII, we wouldnt have thought twice about taking him out.
The US leaker (what a “Don’t ask/Don’t tell” freak! Am I the only one that thinks he looks like a cross between Alfred E.Newman and a Village Person?) should be brought up on charges if the evidence allows,&then, upon conviction, shot.
This comes at a bad time …
Well, the ultra precious Julian is an Aussie, so the only nation with jurisdiction is Australia. Plus, since he’s cleverly taken refuge in Sweden, there’s no way the above-it-all Swedes will sully their hands by taking sides, and wouldn’t extradite anyway if there was any chance at all of a death penalty being imposed, so I guess he has to settle for being a courageous hero to the left.
We all know what that’s worth. It’s like being the tallest midget in the circus. In his case, the most honest whore in the house…
