Gasbags and bloggers are blasting whistle-blower conduit Julian Assange. These American media bullies don't want Washington officialdom embarrassed by exposure and revelations. So shoot the messenger. Understandable. The gasbags and the officials are all in bed together, anyway, so it figures. They don’t want any outsider spoiling their cozy party. The hacks certainly do not want to be exposed either. All of them are focused on preserving the general status quo. It must be protected and nurtured at all cost. If that means, a targeted assassination, so be it. Where did these yahoos acquire such entitlement and arrogance? I suppose stupidity came first, and the arrogance followed.
