Why is a foreign anti-American organization that undermines American national security, leaks our state secrets, and endangers our military still in full operation? Have we really reached the point where we permit such organizations to hold the United States of America hostage? Apparently.

Imagine a Nazi collaboration organization leaked hundreds of thousands of secret military documents to the world during World War II. Can anyone imagine President Roosevelt responding with nothing more than a strongly-worded statement? Would he issue a press release, or would he do everything in his power to prevent future such leaks and hunt the current leakers down?

And yet here we are held hostage by an anti-American organization founded by a convict hacker whose sanity is questioned even by his former co-workers. We permit the lives of our service men and women to be threatened by some anti-American lunatic whose sole interested is undermining American national security. It’s absurd.

The federal government needs to do whatever is necessary to stop Julian Assange and his organization. No one outside of the lunatic fringes of society would blame the Obama Administration if it acted to take down this organization tomorrow.

“Dude, that’s censorship and it’s wrong.”

Tough crap. We’re not talking about censoring political speech. We’re talking about stopping a foreign organization that regularly leaks classified national security information because it wants to hold the United States hostage. We’d do the same at any other time in our nation’s history. It’s time for Washington to grow a pair.
