Vice President Joe Biden has confirmed the U.S. is looking at ways to pursue WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who is under house arrest in Britain. In an interview on Meet the Press, Biden described Assange as being more of a terrorist than a whistleblower.

Vice President Joe Biden: “I would argue it’s closer to being a high-tech terrorist than the Pentagon Papers. But look, this guy has done things that have damaged and put in jeopardy the lives and occupations of people in other parts of the world. He has made it more difficult for us to conduct our business with our allies and our friends.”
