WikiLeaks giving them Licks!

So the Americans, most notably one Sarah Palin thinks he should be hunted down like Bin Laden, they've even gone as far as apparently asking the Australian Government to cancel his passport, and interpol has placed him on a red alert, effectively meaning he's on their most wanted list. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm referring to non other than Mr. Julian Assange.

The FBI and other law enforcement organizations around the world are investigating whether Assange has broken any laws by releasing some confidential cables of the Americans behaving badly. Am I the only one who's concerned about the approach being taken my the government in an attempt to silence an individual who has expressed one of the basic freedoms that we have. The Americans have gone as far as branding Assange and his website as " a bunch of terrorist" according to one congressman. The American government have been embarrassed by the revelation of the documents and their contents. It's revealed the lengths they've gone to to lie and deceive the international community, their true feelings about other leaders and the covert wars that they engage in that voting Americans have no idea about.

Now I know some of you might join the band wagon and say he should be charged with treason, or spying or any of those other fancy connotations that my American friends like to use to scare us. But the reality of it is that this man has done nothing wrong except made us more aware of what the snakes that claim to represent us and our best interest get up to when we're not looking. Instead of apologizing to the American public and the international community, they're busy trying to find ways of puppeteering Mr. Assange's arrest. They are trying to make us feel like WikiLeaks is an insult to those who fought and died in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, but WikiLeaks didn't kill anyone! The American and British intelligence agencies are shrouded in a culture of lies and secrecy, now they've been caught with their pants down, and they want to lash out.

Ladies and gentlement, allow me to introduce you to the man of the year, if not in the Times magazine, then certainly in my book. Mr. Julian Assange. People of the world, that's my word!
