The Modern Alternative to Extreme Prejudice

We long ago lost the courage of our convictions when it comes to fighting the war against our enemies by all means available. Those were days of agents and double-agents and labyrinths of mirrors. They were James Bond writ large and in blood. They were KGB and MI6 and Mossad and Project Phoenix.

We admitted that not all of our enemies were in uniforms and that not all of our soldiers were either. It isn't for the squeamish and we are nothing these days if not squeamish. Harry Reid, Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi and even the Bamster would upchuck on their Bruno Maglis at the thought of a termination with extreme prejudice.

Personally, I kind of like the concept. It isn't for everyone, but in some cases it seems so very appropriate. Is anybody out there thinking Wikileaks? Perish the thought.

First we must posture and huff and puff and pout that if Julian Assange doesn't stop this immediately we will be very upset and we might send him to bed without cookies. We will have Eric Holder issue a stern warning and then we will do nothing.

But, here's a less sanguinary solution that will be less satisfying but equally effective:

American Spectator Suggests Cyber-attack

I was really holding out for a rape/molestation trial and then twenty years of small apartment dwelling with the Swedish equivalent of Big Leroy as a room-mate but this might work for the time being.

I've been saying all along that if we're not going to use it, why even have a CIA? This dude should have had an "accident" already or just disappeared. The lives of our troops and allies overseas are worth far more than his is.

Oh, if only I was president...

I have to believe that someone somewhere will manage this problem before long. There is time enough...damage done already.

I'm hoping that the orbiting X-37B 'unmanned space shuttle' which disappeared from amateur trackers' view for a week (while it changed orbit) - is lining up for a precision launch of a van-sized bunch of welded-together rusty iron plates.

That way, when a heavy meteorite slams into the Stockholm server-farm that houses wikileaks,
it will just be a coincidental - and destructive - natural act.
