There are some things that should not be leaked without authorization.

In my estimation, there has not been in American history a more important leak than Edward Snowden's release of NSA material – and that definitely includes the Pentagon Papers 40 years ago.

I voted for Obama and I will probably vote for him again, as opposed to the Republicans. But I believe his administration in some key aspects is nothing other than the third term of the Bush administration.

We need the courage to face the truth about what we are doing in the world and act responsibly to change it.

It's true that most people find it far more comfortable to trust an authority than to have their faith questioned.
