Nice title! "needs to be silenced" and "the moron". You're quite the little keyboard tyrant making grandiose pronouncements which do nothing more than display the small mind behind them.
As others on this thread have said, Assange is a pioneer. He's your friend, exposing corruption in high places and giving us some of the transparency that should be ours automatically without needing an entity like WikiLeaks taking the lead.
The real "morons" are those in government who think they are above every law and moral tenet, untouchable, able to do anything they want to anyone anywhere they want, and commit any crime that's to their liking without any consequence of personal accountability.
Those "morons' need to be brought to their knees and reminded that they serve us, rather than the other way around.
Bravo Julian Assange. A true 21st century hero.
The U.S. government's reaction to these disclosures is as embarrassing as the material being disclosed.

Come off it, when has the US ever done anything if it didn't put financial gain over human lives? Once again, proving that delusions and propaganda hold more weight over facts in the air-filled, drugged up, dumbed down minds of Americans.edit on 30-11-2010 by allthegoodusernamestaken because: (no reason given)

The real issue here is whether the current batch of leaked documents serves anyone's interests but Assange's. Who benefits from knowing that someone at the State Department thinks Sarkozy is "an emperor with no clothes?" 70% of the French electorate agrees. Calling Medvedev "Robin" to Putin's "Batman" will probably inspire Vladimir to wear a Batman T-Shirt for a photo op. As for Berlusconi, he got let off easy... I would have expected the word "lecherous" to come up. How does this information help you make a wise decision on election day? It doesn't. It just makes American diplomats look bad.
On the other hand, there is the revelation that the US spies at the UN:

I am shocked, shocked to find out that there is spying going on at the United Nations. I suppose that Iran might find that welcome, but, wait:
Ahmadinejad blames U.S. 'mischief' for WikiLeaks dump and insists Arab nations are Iran's friends
D aily Mail
All wikileaks has done this time is create buzz for itself without serving any greater purpose. I disagree with the OP in that Assange doesn't need to be stopped. He simply needs to be ignored until he goes away or finds something useful to reveal.
