Terrorism

Scary, Scary Wikileaks — BOO!

One of the two congressional Wingnut "Kings" has weighed in on the latest Wikileaks dump with some predictable hyperbole. Here's Rep. Peter King (the other Wingnut King is Steve King):

"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.

Wait, how is Wikileaks inciting fear/terror among the general population? I would wager most people don't have any idea what a "Wikileaks" actually is, much less are fearing it for some reason.

But while we're at it, I suggest we just label everyone a terrorist. This way, the word can become totally meaningless. You know, to match the actual statistical threat.
