Rightbloggers on WikiLeaks: Kill Julian Assange, but not till we use his stuff against Obama

This weekend we got another fat load of WikiLeaks,
based on purloined diplomatic cables to and from the U.S. State
Department. As happened when Julian Assange‘s muckraking endeavor leaked U.S. military data from Iraq
earlier this year, conservatives are outraged, and some call, as
before, for the expeditious arrest of Assange, or fantasize about his
assassination.
Rightbloggers generally take a two-pronged approach to the leaks: They
believe the new document dump is an unpardonable breach of U.S. security
— except to the extent that it may be used to denigrate the Obama
Administration, it which case they feel it deserves wider dissemination.
