Peter F%@#&*g King is at it again re: Wikileaks!
http://www.cio.com/article/664952/Lawmaker_Reintroduces_WikiLeaks_Prosecution_Bill

IDG News Service — New legislation in the U.S. Congress targets WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange for espionage prosecution.

Representative Peter King, a New York Republican, introduced the Securing Human Intelligence and Enforcing Lawful Dissemination, or SHIELD, Act on Tuesday. The bill would clarify U.S. law by saying that it is an act of espionage to publish the protected names of American intelligence sources who collaborate with the U.S military or intelligence community.

King introduced similar legislation in 2010. Senators John Ensign, a Nevada Republican, Joe Lieberman, a Connecticut independent, and Scott Brown, a Massachusetts Republican, introduced similar legislation in the Senate last week.

King has called on U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to prosecute Assange for espionage. The new bill would give the U.S. Department of Justice greater authority for prosecuting intelligence leaks, King said in a news release.


In my heart of hearts, I hope that Anonymous fucks him up.

5. What about espionage intelligence that was deliberately false propaganda by major USA pols?
The lies justified the ultimate war crime - aggressive war add in torture and support of corrupt financial and political sectors.

DOJ should prosecute under our laws and treaties and human morality.

The USA has been defiled and most of us are experiencing lowered expectations or ruin because of the lies and the others are effectively propagandized to stupid or don't pay attention and always accepted place in life - princess or pauper.

I can be bi-partisan, just like POTUS Obama and his inner circle.

The USA is a military empire that is failing domestically and being rogue on the world stage (UN, IMF, Geneva Convention, etc.).

But I love the USA as my home and sense of idealism is not dead until I die.

I supported POTUS Obama more than any candidate since Eugene McCarthy in 1968 -- when too young to vote --and will likely vote POTUS Obama in 2012 as the expected Democratic candidate.

I want POTUS Obama to do better or I want a future Democratic POTUS and Congress to do better and at least be headed in directions based upon science and morals.

6. Let Mr. King
explain what he meant back in 04 when at a Republican campaign event he had one too many drinks and said, "This election is over. We won. It's all over but the counting, and we'll take care of the counting." Rigging a national election is serious shit. Perhaps Mr. King should be rendered for extraordinary interrogation. Maybe Assange has the dirt on King.

And he needs to be delegated to an obscure retirement of collecting Nazi stamps, or whatever it is old fascists do to while away the hours until they die.

8. "It's all over but the counting, and we'll take care of the counting."
He said that on camera, for Nancy Pelosi's daughter, I think. She was doing a documentary.

Here it is:
