Dec. 4, 2010 – Loser of the Week – Julian Assange

This week's Loser of the Week is Julian Assange. I'm not sure which is worse: a terrorist or a rapist. Looks like WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has both bases covered.

Actually the REAL LOSER is probably the US State Department.

Assange released many sensitive and "Top Secret" documents through his Wikileaks web site. The Obama Administration says it can't be treason since he isn't an American. He is actually Australian.

But the plot also is thickening around Mr. Assange. He is currently wanted on rape charges in Sweden. He appears to be a man without a country, although Ecuador has offered him "safe haven." Personally, jail in a civilized country would probably beat Ecuador.

Assange has done nothing but put American lives in jeopardy, encourage terrorism, and disrupt possible diplomatic solutions.

In the old days, this release of secret, proprietary documents would not have happened. I'm reminded of some funny lines from the movie, "Dave."

Bob Alexander: I'm going to kill him.
Alan Reed: You can't kill a President.
Bob Alexander: He's not a President. He's an ordinary person. I can kill an ordinary person.
Alan Reed: Bob!
Bob Alexander: I can kill a hundred ordinary people!

The point is that the CIA (of old) would have booked Mr. Assange for on a one way ticket.

It was only 4 years ago that Russia took out Alexander Litvinenko on Britain soil. I wonder what would happen if Assange went after Putin?

Ironically, Assange looks a lot like another anti-American loser Bill Maher.Maybe there will be a case of mistaken identity, or maybe not.
