Last night, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in a press meeting that Wikileaks should be labeled a terrorist organization. I find it frightening that the government has reached a point that they will label anyone they don't like as a terrorist so that they can bypass the legal system. I didn't realize that exposing information could be an act of terror, but Clinton would like to have you believe so.

Edit: I did a quick Google search to find a news piece about this. The first one I found was this:

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2010/11/gop-rep-wikileaks-deemed-...

That article tells us who lobbied Clinton to label Wikileaks as terrorists, but it also references the Pentagon Papers case, which I cited from in a comment in another discussion about Wikileaks (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1948911).



"Last night, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in a press meeting that Wikileaks should be labeled a terrorist organization."

So, Clinton did not say in a press meeting that Wikileaks should be labeled a terrorist organization?
