(AP Photo/Dan Balilty) Count Mike Huckabee among those who think sending info to WikiLeaks is a hangin’ offense. “Whoever in our government leaked that information is guilty of treason, and I think anything less than execution is too kind a penalty.” Huckabee opined at a book signing yesterday, according to Politics Daily. “They’ve put American lives at risk. They have put relationships that will take decades to rebuild at risk, and they knew full well that they were handling sensitive documents.” Bill O’Reilly has made the exact same argument, while Sarah Palin, William Kristol and others have called, in veiled terms, for the assassination of Julian Assange.
