US senator calls to prosecute Assange
Philip Dorling July 2, 2012 THE head of the US Senate's powerful intelligence oversight committee has renewed calls for Julian Assange to be prosecuted for espionage. The US Justice Department has also confirmed WikiLeaks remains the target of an ongoing criminal investigation, calling into question Australian government claims that the US has no interest in extraditing Mr Assange. ''I believe Mr Assange has knowingly obtained and disseminated classified information which could cause injury to the United States,'' the chairwoman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Dianne Feinstein, said in a written statement provided to the Herald. ''He has caused serious harm to US national security, and he should be prosecuted accordingly.'' Senator Feinstein's call for the Obama administration to move ahead with plans to prosecute Mr Assange came as a US Justice Department spokesman, Dean Boyd, publicly confirmed that ''there continues to be an investigation into the WikiLeaks matter''.

3. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr
Why the HELL doesn't she just retire? I was hoping, at 79, she would call it quits and let a younger, more progressive Senator have a chance, but nope. I guess she hasn't made QUITE enough blood money off the wars THAT SHE VOTED FOR quite yet. |

And after our recent primary, I'm almost sorry that we won't have Taitz to kick around any more. (But, somehow, I have a sneaking suspicion that she'll be baaaaack.)
