Information Warfare is Warfare

Newt Gingrich became the latest conservative Sunday to suggest that WikiLeak's Julian Assange deserves to be hunted and executed Sunday by calling him an "enemy combatant."

"I approach this very seriously," Gingrich told Fox News' Chris Wallace. "Information warfare is warfare. Julian Assange is engaged in warfare."

"Information terrorism, which leads to people getting killed is terrorism. And Julian Assange is engaged in terrorism," he continued.

"He should be treated as an enemy combatant and WikiLeaks should be closed down permanently and decisively," Gingrich said.

The former House Speaker added that the Obama administration deserved much of the blame for the leaked documents.
