In an extraordinary editorial, the whistleblower site WikiLeaks has demanded that the United States "stop spying" on its operations.

"Over the last few years, WikiLeaks has been the subject of hostile acts by security organizations," founder Julian Assange writes. "We've become used to the level of security service interest in us and have established procedures to ignore that interest. But the increase in surveillance activities this last month, in a time when we are barely publishing due to fundraising, are excessive."

It worked for their spritual forebears and old Bush Family friends, the Nazis.

Also, be fair, how will the BushoIntelligence services know who to charcter assassinate, economically ruin, or push out a 10th floor window unless they perform surveillance?
