A top incoming House GOP chairman asked Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Sunday evening to review whether Wikileaks can be declared a foreign terrorist organization (FTO).
Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.), the incoming chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, called for U.S. officials to get aggressive against Wikileaks after the website published highly-sensitive, classified diplomatic cables that reveal frank assessments of foreign leaders and the war on terror.
"I am calling on the attorney general and supporting his efforts to fully prosecute Wikileaks and its founder for violating the Espionage Act. And I'm also calling on Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to declare Wikileaks a foreign terrorist organization," King said on WNIS radio on Sunday evening.

That's hilarious. Since Wikileaks is "leaking" pretty much what they are being fed by the gummint, that would be like declaring HUD a foreign terra organization.
Of course, declaring them a terrorist operation would definitely give them more street cred...

It does, however, define the federal government, including Mr. King.

Ugh. "We don't like what they are doing so we will call them terrorists." This is exactly what we've been scared of with the whole torture thing. If they only torture terrorists then they will just label everyone a terrorist even if they aren't. This guy hasn't done any wrong, he is simply exposing the wrongs of the government and that makes him a terrorist?

He's probably pissed that there is things in there that will totally embarrass his worthless neo con ass.
I don't want these leaks to harm our soldiers in any way but as long as it is pissing the neo cons off, it is sending a nice tingle up my leg.

The Judge on FNC today said that the US defines terrorism as "an act of violence". Therefore unless the government changes the definition of "terrorism", they will not be able to go after WL for terrorism. Not to mention the Judge said that the person who leaked the info to WL is culpable, not the media outlet who publishes it.

the fact that you're using a dictionary to define terrorism indicates to me that you're stretching right now... :D

he is a paranoid Rudy-style fascist from New York City, who sees 911 in his sleep.
instead of giving Israel tribute every year why not give them NYC and Long Island as a final payment
