There is nothing new in this world other than the history that you don't know yet.

If journalism is good, it is controversial, by its nature.

Every time you go to a party and take a picture and post that picture to Facebook, you're being a rat. You're being a narc.

We get information in the mail, the regular postal mail, encrypted or not, vet it like a regular news organization, format it - which is sometimes something that's quite hard to do, when you're talking about giant databases of information - release it to the public and then defend ourselves against the inevitable legal and political attacks.

In the history of Wikileaks, nobody has claimed that the material being put out is not authentic.

The whole universe or the structure that perceives it is a worthy opponent, but try as I may I can not escape the sound of suffering. Perhaps as an old man I will take great comfort in pottering around in a lab and gently talking to students in the summer evening and will accept suffering with insouciance. But not now; men in their prime, if they have convictions are tasked to act on them.
