• Assange: Courage While Experiencing Indefinite Detention.

    …today, I read an article by John Keane, a professor at the University of Sydney, on his recent lunch with Julian Assange at Equador’s Embassy in London, where Assange has been confined for over 8 months.

  • Aaron Swartz: Exploitation of Wikileaks by Wall Street Journal & New York Times.

    A 2011 interview, (below), with Aaron Swartz, hacker and activist. He discusses how the Wall Street Journal is planning their own “leaks” site. Apparently even though the New York Times harshly criticizes Julian Assange and Wikileaks, over 1/2 of all their papers contain source material they obtained from Wikileaks. Swartz was later targeted by the US government, and committed suicide, on January 10, 2013.
