Two senators on the Armed Services Committee lashed out at the classified-document sharing website WikiLeaks on Sunday, hours before a dump of some three million documents including sensitive State Department cables was expected.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), on "Fox News Sunday," called the website's actions "deplorable" and warned that the operators of WikiLeaks "could have blood on their hands."

"People who do this are low on the food chain as far as I'm concerned," Graham said. "If we can prosecute them, let's try."

"The people who are leaking these documents need to do a gut check about their patriotism," McCaskill said, adding that the U.S. should go after leakers "with the force of law."

3. They should be careful in what they wish for.

They're complicit.

4. Scooter Libby didn't do ten minutes of time

For repubs to have outrage against Wikileaks is quite hypocritical.

5. Dems and Repugs= no difference in so many cases including this issue.

7. When you turn that page, this is what happens

Hey Lindey and Claire Bobbsie, the twin accomplices. If you two derelicts had done your duties, it would not be necessary for private citizens to do them for you.

8. I misparsed that as "Sen. Graham (R-Fox News Sunday)"

One of the more frightening and possibly interesting misreads I've had lately, I think.

9. Actually quite accurate, isn't it?

[bemildred]

10. True, the release could contain information harmful to Senators too.

I hadn't considered that.

11. Revealing snippets:

"Low on the food chain" -- small people, not like grand senators or the major criminals who run society's institutions. Let's crush them!

"Gut check about their patriotism." -- Is this moron aware that Wikileaks is not an American group?

12. most morans are not aware of their surroundings....

let alone a complex thought.

maybe he was implying anyone who "published" these memo in america.
