Joe Biden not only voted for the Iraq War, but was Chairman of the Foreign 
Relations Committee in 2002 as the Senate authorized that attack, one which 
resulted in the deaths of well over 100,000 innocent human beings and which was 
launched under the strategic banner of "Shock and Awe," designed explicitly to 
terrorize Iraqis out of resisting through the use of a massive display of urban 
devastation.  Julian Assange has never authorized any violence, never killed 
anyone, never advocated killing anyone, and never threatened anyone's death.   
Yet the former can accuse the latter of being close to a "high-tech terrorist" 
without many people batting an eye -- illustrating, yet again, what a 
meaningless and manipulated term "Terrorism" is; to the extent it means 
anything, its definition is this: "those who impede or defy American will with 
any degree of efficacy."
