It's a shame the noose has been retired, but if it came back where would we get enough rope?
Jeff Goldstein asks, Where is Jack Bauer when you need him? And adds,I don’t know precisely when it was when we stopped treating treason as treason, but it’s about time we reconsidered our softening on that stance. Perhaps if the threat of real consequences — other than, say, international celebrity, and perpetual darling/hero status on the left — obtained to such actions, we’d see fewer instances of the kind of behavior that has no other real function than to destabilize the security of sovereign nations, and put the lives of soldiers, diplomats, and covert operatives at risk.

Really? this crap has been going on forever and for two weeks longer. Redaction of the illegals names should have been de rigueur except that he doesn't care a fig for the little peon.
As for the buffoons in the sashes and suits, great theater, bring cabbages and tomatoes.

We stopped treating treason as treason during the Presidencies of Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon, two of the worst individuals ever to hold the job.

"... the kind of behavior that has no other real function than to destabilize the security of sovereign nations, and put the lives of soldiers, diplomats, and covert operatives at risk."
For some, that is the intended function.

Let's not forget the fellow travellers in the media. They are all too willing to aid and abet the traitors. In America, the fourth estate has become the fifth column.

The problem with Assange, other than his being a gutless worm, is that he's an Australian national and can't commit treason against the U.S. However, I believe he could, and should, be charged with espionage and found a nice little cell in which he can spend the rest of his miserable life.
Bradley Manning, and whoever else provided the info, should be given lead poisoning whilst standing against a wall as soon as possible.

Right on, Tom. My Christmas wishlist for these vermin:
1. Assange: A small cell and a large cellmate.
2. Manning: A cigarette, a blindfold and a bullet.
3. The Mainstream Media: Irrelevance

There must be at least ONE spook down at Foggy Bottom smart enough to run a little op that would end up with some very pissed off Russian's hirling taking out the trash for us.
