Santorum calls WikiLeaks founder a terrorist

[sabra]

Source: AP

MANCHESTER, N.H.—Possible Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum told New Hampshire voters Tuesday that the founder of the WikiLeaks website should be prosecuted as a terrorist for posting classified national security documents.

"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," Santorum said of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. "What he's doing is terrorism, in my opinion."

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has said WikiLeaks acted illegally in posting the material and that the Obama administration was taking "aggressive steps to hold responsible those who stole this information."

Santorum, a former Pennsylvania senator, spoke to the Goffstown Rotary Club during his seventh trip to New Hampshire, which holds the first presidential primary. He said the leaked U.S. diplomatic memos have exposed a sense of growing urgency and frustration across the Middle East over Iran's nuclear ambitions, which he accused President Barack Obama of ignoring.

"This administration seems to be OK with a nuclear Iran. They're doing nothing to stop it," he said, adding that Obama should be focused on Iran instead of trying to ram a new nuclear arms treaty with Russia through Congress.

11. Santorum?

I sure hope Santorum, using his own "logic", declares that Scooter Libby is a terrorist and needs to be waterboarded.

I expect that will happen about the same time that Rush stops using illegal drugs or Adolf Beck stops crying on cue.

22. Dick Cheney is a terrorist.

Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Douglas Feith...the list is long. Santorum should be careful what he proposes. One day, he'll be the terrorist. Santorum = anal sex bedsheet stains.

3. If Only They'd Go After The Real Terrorists WIth Such Fervor......

when I read this quote

"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..."

I think of Osama Bin Laden and the BushCo criminals - not Julian Assange.

4. Who cares? Whats next? Delay throws his 2 cents in?

5. As opposed to a country which invades and destroys whole other countries, killing hundreds of

thousands of innocent people, based on a group of lies.

That is why WE hold the moral high ground, eh Rick? Bet you are a lot of fun at the Thanksgiving table.

6. It's an honor to be called a terrorist by a Fascist

7. man-on-dog wouldn't know a terrorist from a sundae...

What a total disgrace of a human being. WHY anyone would care to listen to this ass-wipe's opinion is far beyond my understanding. I'd rather go to limpballs for my info than that pansy idiot.

14. It is amazing how Assange has struck a nerve with these hypocrites

The cowards now scatter like cockroaches hit with the light, and rave freely like the childish lunatics that they are.

[Gregorian]

15. Plame.

If there were even the slightest outrage over revealing a covert CIA's cover, I still wouldn't overlook Santorum's rather broad definition of "terrorist".

Lame!

16. How bout that Ossama Bin Laden? We sure showed him, now didn't we?

Oh wait...

[Canuckistanian]

17. Who is he again?

And why should we care?

Has anyone asked the night receptionist at the Billings, Montana Holiday Inn what HE thinks?

18. Possible Republican presidential candidate?

Scraping the the frothy mix of lube and fecal matter at the bottom of the barrel are they?

:rofl:

Santorum 1. The frothy mix of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex. 2. Senator Rick Santorum.

19. Santorum is the one with blood on his hands

Rick Santorum is pure evil. I'd love to see investigative journalists go after him and UHS for all the child abuse they are responsible for.

Look into his UHS hell-hole facilities and follow the money -- most get the bulk of their funding from the government.
