Time Magazine's Michael Grunwald Called for a Drone Strike on Julian Assange of Wikileaks

This is the same Grunwald who called for more government control of everything

A TIME magazine reporter caused ire on Twitter Saturday night when he said that he "can't wait to write a defense of the drone strike that takes out" Wikileaks founder Julian Assange.

Michael Grunwald's tweet, since deleted, was quickly met with outrage and bewilderment. Glenn Greenwald, who recently broke several revelations about NSA surveillance programs based on documents provided to him by leaker Edward Snowden, was particularly vocal in expressing his disgust with Grunwald's statement.

Editor's Note: This is the same Michael Grunwald who wrote "Tread on Me: The Case for Freedom From Terrorist Bombings, School Shootings and Exploding Factories," calling for more government control of everything.
