Wikileaks has abruptly canceled a much-anticipated announcement on Tuesday. The announcement had been expected to be founder Julian Assange's long-promised document dump on Hillary Clinton.

NBC's Jesse Rodriguez reported that the Tuesday announcement — which was to come from the balcony of London's Ecuadorian Embassy, where Assange has sought sanctuary for years – was canceled due to security concerns.

Wikileaks has not said when it will now make its announcement.

    Imagine a terrorist setting unbelievers on fire. Horrible, right? Now recall the Christian god's hell. Equally sadistic.

    I'm replying to your comical tagline. You are drawing a moral equivalence between vermin committing evil murder in actual fact, to an imaginary fairy tale?

    Just pointing out that while Christians tromp around spouting "all Muslims are evil because their holy book endorses killing infidels", the Christian religion, if it were to be believed, calls for the same.

      Shouldn't you quote that instead? Hell is allegedly after you die not before. So you would have had some sort of opportunity to become a sufficiently Christian person before you die (up to and including deathbed confessions which are pretty damn convenient, I gather). I believe you can easily find some Old Testament support for killing unbelievers, but talking about Hell is not it.

      "But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together. 35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, 36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." - Matthew 22
