Icelandic MP Claims US Vendetta Against WikiLeaks

Stirling Newberry writes "Icelandic MP Birgitta Jónsdóttir details more of the evidence for what she calls a 'judicial vendetta' against WikiLeaks and its volunteers, including attempts to gain access to her Twitter account. Her efforts to block the National Defense Authorization Act were discussed here previously. The story was taken up last year by Glenn Greenwald and Wired. As a result, the International Parliamentarian Union adopted a resolution on her case. What's new? She asserts that there is a grand jury investigation into WikiLeaks and related organizations, and is calling on Sweden to provide assurances that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange not be re-extradited to the U.S. She says, 'There is no doubt that the U.S. wants to get even with WikiLeaks.'"

Yeah. He sure showed those informants he outted. They're dead and buried in the ground, he sure is a martyr! Quite the hero and all that, he not only put innocent lives at risk, but he managed to put the lives of people who weren't at risk, in risk.

International Parliamentarian Union??

I'm pretty aware for an American, but this is the first time I've heard of the IPU. How much less relevant, then, than the UN?

With an idiotic sig like that anything you write is not worth reading.

You sure have an odd idea of the meaning of the word 'assassinate'.
