Writing on her Facebook page on Monday, Palin questioned why the US authorities were not looking for him in the same way that it had hunted suspected 'terrorists.' (pronounced in an annoying, whining voice as 'tayrorists' you may recall from her description of Obama's pals during the Presidential Election).
Attacking Julian Assange, she said, “He is an anti-American operative with blood on his hands. 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?”
She went on: “What if any diplomatic pressure was brought to bear on NATO, EU, and other allies to disrupt Wikileaks’ technical infrastructure? Did we use all the cyber tools at our disposal to permanently dismantle Wikileaks? Were individuals working for Wikileaks on these document leaks investigated? Shouldn’t they at least have had their financial assets frozen just as we do to individuals who provide material support for terrorist organizations?”
Palin of course is tipped to run for President in 2012, also said that “serious questions” had to be asked about how the “highly sensitive” memos from diplomats and intelligence officers could have been uploaded onto a computer memory stick and given to WikiLeaks from a supposedly secure US defence department network known as Siprnet. The prime suspect is Bradley Manning, a young private in the US Army who is now being held ahead of a court-martial. Palin asked why the White House had not issued orders to tighten security back in July, when WikiLeaks released thousands of classified military documents on Afghanistan.
She concludes: “We are at war. American soldiers are in Afghanistan fighting to protect our freedoms. They are serious about keeping America safe. It would be great if they could count on their government being equally serious about that vital task.”
Rick Santorum, another prominent conservative, agreed with her, saying: “We haven't gone after this guy, we haven't tried to prosecute him, we haven't gotten our allies to go out and lock this guy up and bring him up on terrorism charges.”
We ask - who is the biggest threat to peace in the world? Julian Assange or these right-wing moonbats?
Last night I went over to a right wing blog to see what they were thinking.
ReplyDeleteThis about covers it.
They are getting their insane talking points.
They also included the [entrapped] Oregon Bomber into the fear game.
I love how people are actually willingly going to vote for her, aren't we just the smartest nation out there?
