You would think if she never had a thought of droning Assange, she would have said when asked "Of course I never said that!"
If you were in Hillary's (or other top political positions) would you not have thought of taking out Assange?
If we're being perfectly honest?
Having a thought, is not an action. We are human, we all have thoughts we would not necessarily put into action.
This is a "nit-picky" to me.
Secretaries of state and career politicians shouldn't be expressing "thoughts we all have" with regards to killing people. they're put in charge, supposedly, and as a primary function, to set benevolent & productive policies while at the same time setting an example of excellence.
if you're going to defend someone who's supposed to know better and more than you and i, shouldn't there be something more tangible than "well we're all human" to choose from?
We don't live in La La Land. Idealism is a nice word, nothing more.
How unrealistic to think any person in high level politics wouldn't have thoughts of Assange being eliminated.
This is the Real World.
So then, by your logic, it's no big deal to have the leaders of our free world openly talk about killing political dissidents.
La la land? what a snarky observation.
You don't want your representatives to look, act and be professional?
What happens when you yourself don't look, act or behave professionally at your place of business?

My logic is reality.
I think its very naive to think in high level politics "what to do about Assange" was not discussed or at least mentioned.

now you're changing your position.
you didn't talk about "what to do about assange." you stated it's only realistic to think that killing him must have been put on the table for discussion.
it's clear, from this short response, what you think of your government. your apathy about how the government should actually work, vs. how it's been, is abundantly clear as well.
just because you don't expect things to change doesn't mean their actions are acceptable by the people they're supposed to serve.

If they thought he had documents that could be harmful to national security, our military on foreign soil or any of the other various reasons then yes by all means talk about him think about liquidating him with extreme prejudice. Obviously they thought any information he might have or share was not a valid enough threat to terminate him or they would have.

I am not trying to pick on you Annee, but let me get this straight.
You think that someone that is in one of the highests positions of power in the world, who could literally influence a decision to kill people and has done just that, has the right to discuss killing a person because they were putting out information that was politically inconvenient for them, because they are only human.
Yet at the same time, you judge Trump for the things he says?
Wow.
Lets see, if I had the options of a person calling me fat, a rapists or any other vile disgusting names in the book, or a person that is one of the highest ranking people in the government discussing murdering me, I think I would find the latter far more serious.
If you are willing to give Hillary a break for something so serious, how can you criticize Trumps temperament?

Absolutely!
High level politics is not a TV show.
Did I specify Clinton?

The power over life and death gives her a thrill. We have all seen it in her comments on killing Qaddafi. Someone like her should never wield such power.

The power struggles at that level are very real and very serious.
Assange is basically a spy.
I'm not naive.

All other b.s. aside am I supposed that he was talked about? No I am not. It makes logical sense that they would discuss him, assuming they are not aware of what all information he has and what he would be willing to release. Could it be possible he has names of cia assets that are working deep cover ops? Locations of American bases and points of operations? Or any other military strategy or information?
If he had this type of info he could be considered a credible threat to national security this the reason he was discussed. Obviously he was found not to be a credible threat at that time and he got to keep being a thorn in the side of American politicians.
Did Hillary say that, I wasn't there so I don't know, I could see her saying that but once again that is why the meeting is made up of so many informed people so as to not let one person effect the entire outcome of the meeting.
Lets not kid ourselves Obama was not the first president to have these meetings he will not be the last, we could elect any of you and you would be subject to these same types of meetings.
This is only new due to the fear and hatred of Obama and Hillary
