9. Did it occur to you that this particular release may be an
   
entrapment ploy? Assange could be easily extradited for this, a release injurious to both England--the place where Assange resides--and the United States--the place wanting Assange's extradition. I'll be interested to see how the US responds to this. Also, this could affect Obama also: is this Republicans trying to kill two birds with one stone. All this sounds suspect to me.

39. This one is about Obama, not Bush and Blair left left office before
   
Obama was even elected. What this means is that Obama threw the UK (the country, not an individual politician) under the bus to score political points getting a treaty. Now he has no room to bitch should the UK decide to release US operational secrets in order to get something they want - perhaps something like a trade treaty with China. It also tells every other country in the world that he can't be trusted with any of their sensitive information since he'll sell it off when it suits him. Bad move for the USA. And if we can prosecute someone for selling off our secrets, what's to stop another nation from going after him for the same thing?

47. The U.S. officially has not one ally left in the whole damn world!
   
If this is how you treat your friends - how can anyone expect you to be an honest broker
concerning anything?

Britain should charge him with espionage and demand his extradition to be tried for said crimes.

WOW! Even the DUmmies are callin' 'im out on this one! I'm flabbergasted! I thought they'd praise him on this, as they appear to be so anti- American Nuclear Power shit!

He's really gone over the line when his base has decided he's ****in' traitor!

Here's hopin' the MSM doesn't just bury it like they have everything else! If this don't get his ass investigated, nuttin' will!

This shoulda never came out on Wikileaks, damn it! If we still had investigative journalism in this country it would have been exposed before the ****in' treaty he proposed!

ETA:

For cripes sake, the media couldn't wait to make a stink about a supposed undercover CIA flunky, even to the point of goin' to jail in order to protect their source, but they had no idea this happened?

Gimme a ****in' break!
