Could Julian Assange Arrested Conclude Wikileaks Debacle?

Could Julian Assange arrested conclude the Wikileaks debacle? The US, as well as many around the world are frustrated with Australian Julian Assange's insistence on leaking certain documents that have arguably caused a lot of worry to US officials, as well as our allies.

The founder of Wikileaks has been arrested on a warrant issued by Sweden, and was on Interpol's most wanted list.

Assange is accused of sexually assaulting two women in Sweden, and that's the charge he's being held on. He's currently in Britain, and will have a hearing on December 14 over whether or not he can be extradited to Sweden.

Previously, Assange claimed that he had an 'arsenal' of more information that he would leak on the site if he were arrested, or if his site, Wikileaks continued to have technical difficulties which many think are caused by hacks by countries who don't want Assange's information to get out there.

Now that Julian Assange is arrested, maybe at least for now the whole Wikileaks scandal will end. There's a reason some information is classified, and for matters of national security I think it's best if it's not out there for all the world - including our enemies, to see.

Sarah Palin, Wikileaks, & Twitter

Sarah Palin recently used Twitter to discuss Wikileaks. The Wikileaks leak is one of the most disturbing breaches in national security in a long time.  Palin took to Twitter to condemn the 'treasonous' act, which of course gained her a lot of scrutiny from her critics.

Here's a screen shot of Palin's Tweet about the deal:

Slog slammed Palin, stating that Julian Assange, the wacko behind Wikileaks is from Australia, and that Wikileaks is hosted in Sweden and therefore the Wikileaks document leak cannot be treasonous.  Why? Because in order to commit treason, it has to be an act by an American against America.

Well, actually the leak IS a treasonous act.  The leaked documents were given to Wikileaks by a US citizen, and therefore are really an act of Treason.  Never does the governor say that Julian Assange or Wikileaks is committing treason.

This is just another example of what Palin dubbs herself as "lame stream media" putting words in her mouth.  Most recently, she made a North Korea gaffe, which was blown out of proportion by major media.

Palin shot back on Facebook via her Thanksgiving address to the nation - and very classily so.

However, Sarah Palin makes a good point. Couldn't the US stop this? I mean...there's gotta be something they could do.  She makes a very valid point.  If she could quickly get an obscure blog to remove pages of her book from their site then why can't the US stop the Wikileaks leak?

Wikileaks Iraq War Documents Leak

Wikileaks Iraq war documents leak is a big deal. After all, the Wikileaks Iraq war documents leak is not at all attractive to the American public. Not only did the leak of information threaten national security, it also makes the American military look bad in the wake of the continuous war efforts.

In addition, the treatment of Iraqi prisoners at Iraqi police stations were abusive. In fact, on over more than 100 occasions, the US troops reported to their superiors the bad treatment of prisoners. However, they were told not to intervene.

Remember...we are supposed to be setting up Iraq so that they can be their own "democracy." We can't tell the police what they can and cannot do...and obviously they have differing views on what constitutes "humane treatment."

In addition, death total counts for noncombative deaths were revealed, graphic details of civilian deaths, and Iranian activity within Iraq all were made public. Of course, this move was widely denounced by the US Government. See video coverage below of the story.
