Where's the moral outrage?

There is a legitimate concern by our government to investigate Assange under the Espionage Act...period! It has NO relationship to the PA, at least not at this time. Can I see an adoption by the DOJ and Homeland Security in some future rulings and legislation...perhaps.
I am still hoping that Cheney, Rumsfeld and Bush will go on a vacation together in Spain!
You have no concerns about the tactics used by our government to silence Assange, then?
You are either ridiculously naive or purposefully stiff necked! The facts and the circumstances are the same. Bush made the decision to use Gitmo for the SAME reasons that Obama does not shut it down! The truth is Mr. Ideology Obama got a fucking reality check when he actually got a look behind the curtain...and that's fine...but it still makes people like you who now make excuses and apologies--- HYPOCRITES!
Tactics? They have DONE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING as of yet. They ARE investigating the possibility to lawfully charge him under the Espionage Act.
You are unaware of the statements already made by elected officials?
Whatever elected officials might say or feel is not equal to what the DOJ is lawfully able to do~
Rendition, why send them somewhere else to do our questioning, I have and always will be against it! Even with oversight
GITMO, close it, but don't force other countries to take our prisoners! We need to either have trials or let them go! He is still working on this issue, he had a couple of hundred fires to put out from the Bush administration! He still has time to work on this, although not fast enough for me!
Drones, they have their place, spying, firing on citizens is illegal and this practice should stop. I liked it when Clinton was using them to spy! Is that the ranting a raving, I think she is confused, they mocked Clinton for using them, is what actually happened!
The Patriot Act is and always will be a poorly written piece of legislature!
Care to expand on those thoughts, what did Obama make worse, the Patriot Act? the rendition?
For the last seven years, the Left has screeched hysterically over the CIA practice of rendition, in which agents turn detainees over to authorities in their home country for interrogation. Never mind that the practice started in the Clinton administration, and never mind that the other options were Guantanamo Bay, release, or two caps in the back of the head; they pilloried Bush over renditions as if he’d thought them up himself. Hollywood even made a movie about how awful the process is, apparently matched in awfulness only by the film’s box office.
Barack Obama exploited that outrage when he promised Hope and ChangeTM, and the Left squealed with joy over the Brave New Obama World in national security. Now they’ll have to squeal again as Obama has had a sudden revelation as President that renditions are more necessary than ever, if the CIA can’t hold these subjects at Gitmo or its own secret sites:

Side note: This article predates what was then expected-namely that Obama was going to close Gitmo which he has not done and it appears will not be doing.

Now they’ll have to squeal again as Obama has had a sudden revelation as President that renditions are more necessary than ever, if the CIA can’t hold these subjects at Gitmo or its own secret sites:
The CIA’s secret prisons are being shuttered. Harsh interrogation techniques are off-limits. And Guantanamo Bay will eventually go back to being a wind-swept naval base on the southeastern corner of Cuba.
But even while dismantling these programs, President Obama left intact an equally controversial counter-terrorism tool.
Under executive orders issued by Obama recently, the CIA still has authority to carry out what are known as renditions, secret abductions and transfers of prisoners to countries that cooperate with the United States.
Current and former U.S. intelligence officials said that the rendition program might be poised to play an expanded role going forward because it was the main remaining mechanism — aside from Predator missile strikes — for taking suspected terrorists off the street.

If their legislation becomes law no one can be held accountable if they acted before there was a law. AGAIN-the DOJ is investigating if they can lawfully charge Assange under the Espionage Act...what is it about this concept that you are struggling with???

I'm not aware our government has utilized any tactics as of this date. The most I've seen is Robert "Family Guy" Gibbs, telling us not to be 'afraid' of Assange. So, as for actual government 'action', it appears we're just letting him continue to publish these highly sensitive and classified defense documents. It's a good thing we're not faced with a real imminent threat to our security.
For the record, I am not pleased with the talks of government shutting him down or whatever, from my perspective, he has committed an act of war against the US and should become a casualty of war. I would much rather a sniper put a bullet through his head, than to haul him back to America for a 3-year civil trial, where he would probably walk. I think a message should be sent to any would-be wikileakers, you'll be swimming with the fishies...
Anyone else find it somewhat funny that Dix is advocating assassination of a civilian that did nothing more than publish documents in this particular thread?

It certainly bothers me and I'm still waiting for the big reveal that's going to put lives in jeopardy. Surely someone, maybe Palin, has gone through all 250K pages and found the smoking gun? Not just the snide pettiness which is all we've seen so far.

LOL. I read bush's book. I believe his sexual position of choice is bending the elbow.

I agree with all this and have to add that rendition is our way of enabling torture while seemingly keeping clean hands. It's despicable.
Cowardly, indeed, if we don't do it ourselves, how is it better for hired thugs to do it? even with oversight!
