Following the release of 92,000 war log files, Liz Cheney is calling for WikiLeaks to be shut down and says that the founder has "blood on his hands."

"I would point out that although you've got the news about the WikiLeaks documents that that came out this week and clearly Julian Assange's effort was to change course for the US policy in Afghanistan," Cheney told Fox News' Chris Wallace Sunday.

"He was unsuccessful in that. He does clearly have blood on his hands potentially for the people whose names were in those documents who helped the US and I think that's something he will have to live with now," she continued.

"I would really like to see President Obama to move to ask the government of Iceland to shut that website down. I would like to see him move to shut it down ourselves if Iceland won't do it. I would like to see them move aggressively to prosecute Mr. Assange and certainly ensure that he never again gets a visa to enter the United States," said Cheney.

"What he's done is very clearly aiding and abetting al Qaeda. And as I said, he may very well be responsible for the deaths of American soldiers Afghanistan," she concluded.

2. Interesting she mentioned Iceland
Thanks to Wikileaks, Iceland has one of the greatest press freedoms in the world. They leaked information which was a bank gaining a gag order on a news company to prevent them from reporting that they were in trouble. It caused them to pass a bill that greatly increased press freedoms. They won't shut them down.

Anyways I thought they were based in Sweden?

9. Ha! Gee, if its only on his hands, that's not too bad.
Cheney and the gang swim in blood all day.
Their mansions must look like a scene from "the shining."
What delusional hypocrisy.

10. I wonder if there is a brain machine that can be attached
to her head, like daddy has on his heart, that will substitute until a brain transplant can become available for her. Oh, also one that doesn't lie and distort would be nice.

11. should we go to war with iceland, liz?
'cause last I heard iceland's laws allow wikileaks to operate from there. Not that this would end the embarrassment of your father's crimes being aired in public along with the crimes of the current regime, as wikileaks is quite decentralized.
