Shut up now!

If stupidity was a crime you'd be on death row.

fair enough. asshole.

[MagneticMonkey]

like you haven't wanted someone dead before...

This doesn't matter remotely here. We're not talking about the 5 minutes rage you have when someone smashed threw away your lunch. This is a politician wanting someone who leaked informations to die because
1) it puts peoples life in danger <--- highly controversial
2) it will take decades to rebuild the relationship <--- how is that an argument for death penalty?

and its because of assange's misplaced and misguided desire for transparency in EVERYTHING that will put peoples' lives and careers in danger.

I didn't even know that someone putting your career in danger deserves the death row. Good to know that this can be used as an argument.

like you haven't wanted someone dead before...and its because of assange's misplaced and misguided desire for transparency in EVERYTHING that will put peoples' lives and careers in danger. What's wrong with hanging someone who took an oath and made a promise and completely went back on his word?

What's wrong with revealing information that was fairly obvious (there have been plans for when north korea collapses onto itself??? NO WAI)?

Hell, it's not like they leaked something access codes for nukes or the location of the US's secret mecha-factory in Taiwan.

Also, please tell us more about how the NAACP doesn't care about white people.

mike was talking about who leaked the information TO Assange, not Assange himself.

Well, granted that was the case.
Still doesn't change the fact that we have an idiot who released a prisoner because he found Jesus (that prisoner went on to murder some cops in the state of Washington) who thinks he's in a position to judge when something endangers lives when he did the same thing himself.

On the topic of Assange not revealing anything new: I heard that in this recent case, his information might actually be costing people (and by that I mean banks, corporations, etc.) money. As in, he has dirt on them that if made official might result in them losing a profit. That's apparently a lot worse than losing face.

fair enough. asshole.

dude Smudger is a troll, not even worth replying to, put him on your ignore list, I have, a LONG time ago.

What is pwngoat avatar doing in a topic for grown-ups???

[Sea]

People who is new to the Internet often spout the word troll without even knowing what it means, and are attracted to terribly unfunny meme like pwngoat.

This is probably the most hideous article I've found on this subject so far. And it's truly laughable when you think about the role The Washington Post has played in the watergate affair.

However once I started reading the comments on the article and realized how few supported what Mr Thiessen wrote I got a bit of a grin on my face.

US diplomats cautioned against an "overreaction"

I just stared at this part for a while.

[LosKnoggos]

Why exactly are people who aren't working for the government against wikileaks? How can you wish your government to keep important stuff from its citizen?

Wait what .

[Darkstorm]

Wait what .

Hey wait a minute cyan, according to US diplomats, you shouldn't overreact here.

[Fire-Fist]

people didn't knew about it?

and 4chan takes down mastercard

[Kaiolino]

One of Holland's most watched political talkshows had a guest who throroughly explained how to take down Mastercard, as well as telling the watcher to take down Twitter (as they ignore the Wikileaks trend).
