VP Biden: Assange is a "High-Tech Terrorist"
--------------------------------------------



Vice President Joe Biden has confirmed the U.S. is looking at ways to
pursue Wiki Leaks founder Julian Assange, who is under house arrest in
Britain. In an interview on Meet the Press, Biden described Assange as
being more of a terrorist than a whistleblower.

Vice President Joe Biden: "I would argue it’s closer to being a
high-tech terrorist than the Pentagon Papers. But look, this guy has
done things that have damaged and put in jeopardy the lives and
occupations of people in other parts of the world. He has made it more
difficult for us to conduct our business with our allies and our
friends."
