David Brooks has an excellent column in today's New York Times. In it he describes the idiot who founded WikiLeaks like this, "Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, had moved 37 times by the time he reached his 14th birthday. His mother didn’t enroll him in the local schools because, as Raffi Khatchadourian wrote in a New Yorker profile, she feared “that formal education would inculcate an unhealthy respect for authority.” Maybe Mom should go to prison along with this guy. Brooks makes the great point that the world order depends upon conversations between nations, and if those conversations become difficult or constrained, who knows what might happen. IMHO, Asange is an anarchist at best, or a terrorist at worst, choose for yourself. I have a feeling that he will simply disappear from the face of the earth in the next few weeks, and from everything I've read, not too many will miss him.
