My feeling about the Internet or anything else is that the more it tends to become a cult, the more I want to call it into question.

Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks founder, has on several occasions talked about transparency as an absolute principle. I don't personally believe that.

Liberation movements - prizing ends over means - are not always particular about their friends or scrupulous about their transactions.

The curse of a journalist is that he always has more questions than answers.

You don't want to go around willy-nilly suing news organizations. That's probably self-defeating.

Liberation movements - operating surreptitiously and conspiratorially - thrive on discipline and suspicion, and punish deviation or dissent.

Choosing my favorite moment in journalism would be like picking a favorite among my children. I can't pick one favorite.
