Karl Rove Wants ‘Criminal’ Julian Assange ‘Hunted Down And Grabbed And Put On Trial’
http://www.mediaite.com/tv/karl-rove-wants-criminal-julian-assange-hunted-down-and-grabbed-and-put-on-trial/

It’s been a long time since the time when Americans used to hear Bush administration “smoke ‘em out” national security language, so it might have felt like a bit of a flashback to watch this morning’s edition of Freedom Watch, where Karl Rove called for the “hunting down” of a “criminal” aiding Al-Qaeda and the Taliban. And it may have taken a second listen to realize who he was talking about: Wikileaks ringleader Julian Assange.

Speaking to host Judge Andrew Napolitano, Rove noted that there were deliberations between the media and the White House under the Bush administration, though they were not completely successful. In fact, he said negotiations with the New York Times “totally failed,” giving Al-Qaeda helpful advice by publishing leaks. That, however, did not seem to compare in Rove’s mind to having an entire institution like Wikileaks dedicated to releasing military information:

5. He's being modest when he says negotiations"totally failed" with the NY Times.
I mean, Judith Miller was quite the success....:sarcasm:

8. Gee how come Bush didn't
hunt down and capture bin laden, but went to Iraq and captured a man who didn't attack the Twin Towers. And then say that he was "worried about bin laden"...and nothing absolutely nothing in the republican press has slammed him for that.

9. In the eyes of Karl Rove, the law is not reason,
but ambition.
The irrational shit.

10. pretty dangerous
to be a whistleblower these days... seems the best way to make yourself a target is to tell the truth about the ugly inner workings of the kleptocracy.
