Fifth Column
Measuring WikiLeakÂ’s Assange for an Orange Jumpsuit
2010-08-09
Don't know whether to put it in Afghanistan or in Fifth Column. Link found via Jerry Pournelle's Chaos Manor Mail.
Time to scarf up head WikiWanker, the excremental Julian Assange. Fire up the black helicopters, fit him for an orange jumpsuit and put him on the Rendition Express. He is now responsible for the deaths of brave Afghans and there will certainly be more to come. From Newsweek:
Late last week, just four days after the documents were published, death threats began arriving at the homes of key tribal elders in southern Afghanistan. And over the weekend one tribal elder, Khalifa Abdullah, who the Taliban believed had been in close contact with the Americans, was taken from his home in Monar village, in Kandahar provinces embattled Arghandab district, and executed by insurgent gunmen.

Just a heads-up, guys, it's apparently started. I didn't think they were gonna act on their windfall until later.

#8  I had an idea on the drive home.

Charge him as an accessory to murder, _AND_ an accessory to war crimes.

#7  Reality might bite him on the ass yet.

Who knows. He may well get a visit from some crocodile with a knife one of these days.

#6  Actually Manning (PFC) has already been picked up and could well be tried for Treason since he's part of the U.S. Military.

Assange thinks he's safe in Australia. Or at least he is in his and the rest of the wikiwanker's 'special' little world.

Reality might bite him on the ass yet.

#5  well, the US can't try him for treason, tho' OZ could if the gov't had any stones. The US could pick him up for espionage however. Along with anyone associated with Wikiwanks.

#3  I meant to say accessory to murder.

#2  Also, I think there is room in the UCMJ to try PFC Manning for murder.

#1  Measure Assange for a coffin while you're at it. Khalifa Abdullah's clan will be after him soon.

Or maybe just measure him for an open pit.
