- Stopping leaks is a new form of censorship.
- The corruption in reporting starts very early. It's like the police reporting on the police.
- In my role as Wikileaks editor, I've been involved in fighting off many legal attacks. To do that, and keep our sources safe, we have had to spread assets, encrypt everything, and move telecommunications and people around the world to activate protective laws in different national jurisdictions.
- Intelligence agencies keep things secret because they often violate the rule of law or of good behaviour.
- When it comes to the point where you occasionally look forward to being in prison on the basis that you might be able to spend a day reading a book, the realization dawns that perhaps the situation has become a little more stressful than you would like.
