Not good new for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange …

A UK court has given the green light to extradite WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to Sweden. Assange is being accused of sex crimes in Sweden. Judge Howard Riddle dismissed the arguments by the WikiLeaks attorneys that their client could not get a fair trial in Sweden and ordered Assange be extradited. Assange’s lawyer said they would appeal against the decision.

A British court has agreed to extradite WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to Sweden where he is accused of sex crimes, dismissing claims such a move would breach his human rights.

Swedish prosecutors want to question Assange about allegations of sexual misconduct, which he denies, made by two WikiLeaks volunteers during his time in Sweden last August.

The LA Times reports: WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange ordered extradited in sexual assault case.

Speaking to a packed London courtroom, Judge Howard Riddle said Swedish prosecutors’ request that Assange be handed over was valid and reasonable for their investigation into allegations that he sexually abused two women last August.

Define Irony: Lawyers For Julian “WIKILEAKS” Assange Outraged that Details about His Sex Life Were Leaked

Can you say WIKI-IRONY?If you represent a scumbag that is known for leaking classified information, are you really allowed to complain when there are leaks of your own client made public? Julian “WIKILEAKS” Assange, the biggest Wiki-hypocrite, ever.

Lawyers for the founder of Wikileaks, Julian Assange, are expressing outrage and crying foul over incriminating police files that were published in the British newspaper. Can you imagine? This would have been like Johnny Cochran complaining that OJ Simpson got a paper cut while in jail during the murder case of Nicole Brown Simpson.

In a move that surprised many of Mr Assange’s closest supporters on Saturday, The Guardian newspaper published previously unseen police documents that accused Mr Assange in graphic detail of sexually assaulting two Swedish women. One witness is said to have stated: “Not only had it been the world’s worst screw, it had also been violent.”

WikiLeaks Founder Julian Assange Arrested by British Police in London Over Alleged Sexual Assault

WikiLeaks founder, 39 year old Julian Assange, has been arrested by British police in London over an alleged sexual assault that took place in Sweden.  Scotland Yard said Mr Assange was arrested by appointment at a London police station at 0930 GMT. Assange’s attorney Mark Stephens states that his client has not been charged with any crime and wants to find out what allegations he faces so he can clear his name. Stephens also says that they will fight any attempts at extradition.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been arrested by British police over sexual assault claims in Sweden.

The elusive 39-year-old Australian was detained by Scotland Yard officers at around 9.30am after he voluntarily went to a police station in central London.

Police contacted Mr Assange’s lawyer last night after receiving a fresh European arrest warrant from the Swedish authorities, as anger grows in the US over the latest leaked embassy cables by the whistleblowing website.

From the AP: WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange arrested in UK. Hmm, as stated by the Gateway Pundit, “ how exactly did Assange get an Interpol warrant for not wearing condom during sex?”

The legal troubles for Assange, a 39-year-old Australian, stem from allegations leveled against him by two women he met while in Sweden over the summer. Assange is accused of rape and sexual molestation in one case and of sexual molestation and unlawful coercion in another.

Assange denies the allegations, which his British attorney Mark Stephens says stem from a “dispute over consensual but unprotected sex.”

Newt Gingrich Says “WikiLeaks” Leaks … Show Obama Administration ‘Shallow,’ ‘Amateurish’ when It comes to National Security … “it is painful and dangerous”

America, you were warned that the presidency is not something that lends itself to on the job training.

Obama Administration: “This administration is so shallow and so amateurish about national security that it is painful and dangerous.”

This morning on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said that President Barack Obama and his Administration deserved a great deal of the blame for the massive amounts of classified information revealed through WikiLeaks. Gingrich went one further and called the Obama Administration “shallow” and “amateurish” when it comes to national security.

Gingrich said the leaks are “a scandal of the first order” and that they demonstrate the Obama administration is “shallow” and “amateurish” when it comes to national security.

“You have a private first class who downloads a quarter million documents, and the system doesn’t say, ‘Oh, you may be over extended?’ I mean, this is a system so stupid that it ought to be a scandal of the first order,” Gingrich said. “This administration is so shallow and so amateurish about national security that it is painful and dangerous.”

Video Hat Tip: Gateway Pundit

Newt Gingrich told CNN regarding Obama, “I’ve never seen an administration, even the Carter administration was never as routinely chaotic.” How bad is it when you rank lower than the Carter Administration?

“I’ve never seen an administration, even the Carter administration was never as routinely chaotic,” Gingrich told CNN in reference to Obama’s recent trip to Afghanistan. “Every time you turn around, this administration is fumbling somewhere around the world.”

He said there appears to be a gap between “the clarity and focus of that campaign and the confusion of the presidency.”

“He just suffered a stunning defeat, and yet he’s behaving as though nothing has changed,”

Joe Biden has made many gaffes in his life, this was not one of them … Biden was spot on when characterizing Barack Obama.

You had a decision to make in 2008 and you allowed the liberal, bias MSM to question the experience of VP candidate Sarah Palin and not that of Barack Hussein Obama. What do you think now America?

“… the presidency is not something that lends itself to on the job training.”

Shallow and amateurish when it comes to national security, huh? Remember prior to the 2008 election when many thought that Obama was not ready to lead? Remember when Presidential candidate Joe Biden said during the debates that Obama was not ready to lead? Biden was asked if Obama was ready and Joe’s response was that Obama was not ready yet and the office of the Presidency did not lead itself to on the job training.

Remember when Biden stated the following as well regarding Obama …  “It Will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama … it’s not gonna be apparent that we’re right”.  No truer words have ever been said; however, it was not just world tests, it was domestic, economic, etc.

Also during the Fox News Sunday interview, when asked whether Newt would run for President in 2012, he said that he was ”much more inclined to run than not run.”

Gingrich told “Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace that he’s “much more inclined to run than not run.”

Gingrich said that he and his wife Calista are closing in on a decision on whether or not to jump in, which will likely happen by the end of February.

The former House Speaker said, “everything we’ve done over the last year, talking to friends, thinking things through, has made us more inclined to believe that it’s doable.”

Obama State Department Tells Columbia University Students, DO NOT Discuss WikiLeaks On Facebook, Twitter OR ELSE!

And the LEFT used to call GWB’s policies Nazi-like, check out the “Hope & Change” from the Obama State Department …

The Obama State Department warned Columbia University students not to discuss WikiLeaksOn Facebook, Twitter or post links to WikiLeaks and the classified 250,000 documents. If they do, it could endanger their future job prospects. So from the Obama government comes the following, do not even discuss WikiLeaks content or else?  Talk about a blatant government threat and a violation of the First Amendment.

Talking about WikiLeaks on Facebook or Twitter could endanger your job prospects, a State Department official warned students at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs this week.

An email from SIPA’s Office of Career Services went out Tuesday afternoon with a caution from the official, an alumnus of the school. Students who will be applying for jobs in the federal government could jeopardize their prospects by posting links to WikiLeaks online, or even by discussing the leaked documents on social networking sites, the official was quoted as saying.

“[The alumnus] recommends that you DO NOT post links to these documents nor make comments on social media sites such as Facebook or through Twitter,” the Office of Career Services advised students. “Engaging in these activities would call into question your ability to deal with confidential information, which is part of most positions with the federal government.”

Sarah Palin Says Latest WikiLeaks Barack Obama’s Fault

How is it possible that one person managed to get their hands on so much classified material? Also, how is it that WikoLeaks would be allowed to release classified documents not once, but twice and now threatening to unload incriminating bank docs. Sarah Palin points the blame at President Barack Hussein Obama.

“The latest round of classified U.S. documents through the shady organization called Wikileaks raises serious questions about the Obama administration’s incompetent handling of this whole fiasco,” Ms. Palin wrote on her Facebook page Monday.

Ms. Palin calls WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange “an anti-American operative with blood on his hands.” The WikiLeaks website released more than 250,000 State Department cables that have shed rare light on diplomatic back channels.

From Sarah Palin’s FACEBOOK comes the following criticism of Obama and his handling/mishandling of the WikiLeaks fiasco. In a word … incompetence. Palin also criticized the White House for a “lack of urgency” in preventing future leaks. How many times is it going to take where WikiLeaks threatens to publish classified US docs?

We all applaud the successful thwarting of the Christmas-Tree Bomber and hope our government continues to do all it can to keep us safe. However, the latest round of publications of leaked classified U.S. documents through the shady organization called Wikileaks raises serious questions about the Obama administration’s incompetent handling of this whole fiasco.

“I Don’t Think There’s Anybody in the World Who Fears Obama” …

Fox News Bill O’Reilly used to give President Barack Obama the benefit of the doubt when many did not. O’Reilly seemed to defend the president in the past, much to many people’s disbelief. All that appears to have changed. Last night on The Factor, a exasperated and frustrated Bill O’Reilly let Obama have it in the wake of the latest incompetence from the White House with regards to the WikiLeaks fiasco … “I don’t think there’s anybody in the world who fears Barack Obama. I don’t think anybody does!”

Video hat Tip: The Gateway Pundit

How is it possible that one individual could get their hands on so much classified material, in the latest WikiLeaks document dump and the United States do seemingly nothing about it. Barack Obama and Eric Holder (AG) should have done something the first time there was a WikiLeak leak. Instead they chose to do nothing.
