Do as I say, not as I do!

With the recent hubbub over wikileaks releasing documents, I can't believe what some politicians and political advisors are saying, including ones from Canada - "I think Assange should be assassinated, actually". Sure, sure, if you say later "hey, I didn't really mean it!" does it still count?

It just boggles my mind that if the "other" countries were to go through this, any calls for assassination would be condemned by the west. What the hell is wrong with people?? Things like kidnapping people, taking them to a different country, tortured for several months and then released at night on a desolate road in Albania. Why is it okay not to use the law if you think that you have a terrorist on your hands? Disgusting. I won't even get into the campaign of terror that the American government seems to have against their own citizens - a campaign whose purpose seems to be to strip rights and freedoms from not just their own citizens, but the citizens of the rest of the world as well.

If people are breaking the law, put them through due process. If people are doing things that you think that they shouldn't - pass a law that says they shouldn't.

Telling the world that you're the shining example of freedom while not following your own laws is hypocritical at best.
