The incoming chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee is demanding that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton declare WikiLeaks a terrorist entity.
"By doing that, we will be able to seize their funds and go after anyone who provides them help or contributions or assistance whatsoever. To me, they are a clear and present danger to America."

Basically because they cannot control WikiLeaks they would like to label as a "terrorist" organization so they have the legal right to freeze funds and other stuff.

I just find this kinda funny, I mean, if a group of people don't listen to the government they must be terrorists right? But hey, a terrorist to one is a freedom fighter to another.
Rasmussen has defined a really fantastic concept for its poll interpretations: the Political Class. The very name evokes images of power elites and pundits, fervently applauding their own efforts while peppering their language with meaningless phrases like “the American people” and “Main Street” (vs. “Wall Street”). Oh, you didn’t get all that from it? Well, I did… Maybe I’m too bitter. Anyway, the Political Class is that small group of elites and its ardent supporters, the ones who try to brand themselves as populists but are in fact concerned primarily with the goodness of their own power and authority.
Rasmussen defines the category based on a three-question poll:
1. Generally speaking, when it comes to important national issues, whose judgment do you trust more – the American people or America’s political leaders?
2. Some people believe that the federal government has become a special interest group that looks out primarily for its own interests. Has the federal government become a special interest group?
3. Do government and big business often work together in ways that hurt consumers and investors?
The idea is that each one has three acceptable answers (the populist answer, the elitist answer, and “I don’t know”), and your category is assigned based on your responses....
Just 28% of U.S. voters now think the country is heading in the right direction,... This finding is up slightly from last week...
Sixty-five percent (65%) of the Political Class believe the United States is generally heading in the right direction, down significantly from last week,...
