    Gingrich : Assange an ‘enemy combatant’ but fault is Obama’s | Raw Story

    Jamais surpris avec #Newt_Gingrich :

    "Newt Gingrich became the latest conservative Sunday to suggest that #WikiLeak's Julian Assange deserves to be hunted and executed by calling him an « enemy combatant. » "I approach this very seriously," Gingrich told Fox News’ Chris Wallace. « Information warfare is warfare. Julian Assange is engaged in warfare. » "Information terrorism, which leads to people getting killed is terrorism. And Julian Assange is engaged in terrorism," he continued. « He should be treated as an enemy combatant and WikiLeaks should be closed down permanently and decisively, » Gingrich said."

    Sauf erreur, le terme « enemy combatant » est le terme à la con inventé par l’équipe Bush pour justifier la torture et la détention illégale des prisonniers. Nice.

      Pour ceux qui mettent encore « menaces de mort » entre guillemets, le même article rappelle le nombre de Républicains - employés de Fox News - qui ont appelé à la mort d’Assange :

      Fox News contributor Sarah Palin took to her Facebook page to suggest that Assange deserved the same treatment as terrorists and insurgents. “Why was he not pursued with the same urgency we pursue al Qaeda and Taliban leaders?” she asked. Sen. Minority Leader Mitch McConnell told NBC’s David Gregory Sunday that Assange is a terrorist. “I think the man is a high tech terrorist…he’s done enormous damage to our country and to our relationships with our allies around the world, and he should be prosecuted,” McConnell said. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee was caught on video at a book signing at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum in Simi Valley, Calif. saying that the person that leaked the documents to WikiLeaks should be executed. “Whoever in our government leaked that information is guilty of treason,” Huckabee said. “I think anything less than execution is too kind a penalty.”
