This confirms they are an internet terrorist organization...

King wrote to Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner on Wednesday asking him to add WikiLeaks and Assange to a list banning U.S. companies from conducting business with them.

"The U.S. government simply cannot continue its ineffective piecemeal approach of responding in the aftermath of Wikileaks’ damage. The Administration must act to disrupt the Wikileaks enterprise," King said.

"The U.S. government should be making every effort to strangle the viability of Assange’s organization.”

Several payment processing firms including Paypal, Visa and Mastercard have already cut off their business relationships with the site, reportedly due to pressure from U.S. officials. Those sites were targeted by the hacker group Anonymous in a series of retributive attacks dubbed "Operation Payback."

Assange appeared to offer a threat to King in his statement.

"WikiLeaks has 'terrorized' politicians from Kenya to Kansas over the last four years. Quite a few have lost office as a result," Assange said. "That doesn’t mean we are 'terrorists'—it means we doing our job. We intend to 'terrorize' Peter King, Hillary Clinton, corrupt CEOs and all the rest for many years to come, because that is what the people of the world demand."
