Justice isn't just blind, she's protean as well.

Others, notably Joe Lieberman in the Senate and Peter King in the House of Representatives have pushed for new legislation to facilitate the prosecution of Mr Assange in the event that existing law proves insufficient. "Assange and his associates... have not only damaged US national security... but also placed at risk countless lives, including those of our intelligence sources," said Mr King.

Sure.  Just make a new law so you can nab this fellow who is exposing your crimes.  Brilliant!  Then change it again for the next case, and the next, and the next.  Justice for all, right?  Tailored justice, that is.

Remember this?

Remember the outrage coming from the right?

Why isn't that picture considered a death threat towards the PM? Why isn't that picture the subject of a criminal investigation under our hate laws, to me that picture scream incitement to hate and perhaps violence? - Sassylassie (of course)

Why?  Because it was clearly a spoof picture, especially in the context of the contest which was where would harper rather be than attending climate change talks?  You think so?

So how do those same people feel about, oh, let's see...this:

"Well, I think Assange should be assassinated actually," Flanagan said to CBC host Evan Solomon. "I think Obama should put out a contract and maybe use a drone, or something."

Guys?...guys?...hello?...

Oh...there you are -

Suck it up Assange - if you release classified documents than expect to be target.

Hopefuly a nice mix of Uraninum and Plutonium will find its way into this Leftie parasites next meal!

Why is Ezra Levant still alive?

Because you can’t sue a dead man.

See, that’s a joke.  No one could take it as a threat to the weasel’s life.  No one can say that I am suggesting he be murdered.

On October 29, 2010, Jonah Goldberg, editor-at-large of National Review Online wrote this for the Chicago Tribune:

Why is Assange still alive?

I'd like to ask a simple question: Why isn't Julian Assange dead?

On November 29, 2010, Ezra Levin wrote this:

Why isn’t Julian Assange dead yet?

Goldberg summarizes with this:

Even if the CIA wanted to take him out, they couldn't without massive controversy. That's because assassinating a hipster Australian Web guru as opposed to a Muslim terrorist is the kind of controversy no official dares invite.

That's fine. And it's the law. I don't expect the U.S. government to kill Assange, but I do expect them to try to stop him.

Our Ezra, however, doesn’t let things like laws dictate his proposed course of action:

Why is Assange still alive? Why is he being treated as a journalist or political activist? If someone had published the intimate details of the D-Day plans during the Second World War, he would never have been seen again.

Assange and his colleagues act like spies, not journalists. WikiLeaks could have its assets seized, just like the Taliban has. And U.S. President Barack Obama could do what he’s doing to the Taliban throughout the world.

He doesn’t sue them or catch them. He kills them. Because it’s war.  Obama has even ordered the assassination of an American citizen, Anwar al-Awlaki.  How does Obama see Assange any differently?

When the weasel takes it beyond offering a general opinion on government sanctioned assassination and lays out an argument why a specific person should be murdered, and why it’s not only okey-dokey fine for a government to commit that murder but that the government is reprehensible if it doesn’t, he crosses from generalizations on the topic to promoting a specific course of action – namely murder – to be committed against a specific individual.

Meanwhile, the blubbery, cowardly piece of shit sit in his chair taking statements out of context to justify his bilious verbal vomit, safely ordering someone else to commit murder.  That, Ezra, is why people sue you.

Sucks to have limits to your nasty super powers

This -
The U.S. government has notified Ottawa that the WikiLeaks website is preparing to release sensitive U.S. diplomatic files that could damage American relations with allies around the world. U.S. officials say the documents may contain accounts of compromising conversations with political dissidents and friendly politicians as well as activities that could result in the expulsion of U.S. diplomats from foreign postings.
 
May explain this –
The founder and editor of the whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, is wanted in Sweden after accusations of rape and molestation, a spokeswoman for the Swedish prosecutor’s office told CNN Saturday.

 
I’m sure that more than one nation would like to see Assange discredited, locked up, on the run…anything that will prevent him from making available “accounts of compromising conversations.”  After all, no lie is ever too big if the goal is to hide the truth from the public.  No individual is too precious to sacrifice in the name of subterfuge.  No value is too worthy to crush in the name of preservation of power for the few.

It’ll be…interesting to read what the US felt it had to warn Cannon about.

Hmmm…rumours today of a big cabinet shuffle…
