[Infowarrior] - AEI ignorance of the Web

[Richard Forno]

Some choice extracts from an op-Ed in today's WaPo from a guy at the conservative AEI.  I swear, the louder a person screams about something, chances are the less they really know about the matter t hand.  Among other things, does anyone (with a clue) really think in the Internet Age, you can "recover the documents" distributed by Wikileaks or anyone else in such decentralised manners?  C'mon.   I'm surprised this guy does't start asking SECDEF to launch a few Tomahawks at Belgium or Iceland, too.

The level of Internet idiocy in this town continues to amaze me.     -rick

"Arresting Assange would be a major blow to his organization. But taking him off the streets is not enough; we must also recover the documents he unlawfully possesses and disable the system he has built to illegally disseminate classified information."

With the stroke of his pen, the president can authorize USCYBERCOM to protect American and allied forces by eliminating WikiLeaks' ability to disseminate classified information that puts their lives at risk.

"WikiLeaks represents a clear and present danger to the national security of the United States. If left unmolested, Assange will become even bolder and inspire others to imitate his example. His group is at this  moment preparing to release tens of thousands of documents that will put the lives of our troops and our allies at risk. Will President Obama stop WikiLeaks from doing so -- or sit back and do nothing?"
