This article concerns the extreme hysterical reactions - mainly in the USA - to the WikiLeaks' publication of US diplomatic cables. In particular the calls by Establishment figures for the murder (liquidation, assassination,'taking out' and other assorted euphemisms) of the WikiLeaks figurehead and co-founder Julian Assange.

To a man (and woman) those inciting the murder of Julian Assange have not, so far a WikiSpooks is aware, been disciplined in any way for their gross statements. All continue in the roles they filled when the statements were made and none, to WikiSpooks knowledge, has issued a retraction.

Compare and contrast what would happen to ANY Establishment figure were he/she to call for similar measures - or even reasonable judicial measures - to be taken against say a prima facie Zionist Israeli war criminal.
