Pilger: Julian Assange and WikiLeaks is doing is what journalists should have been doing
(John Pilger's new movie "The War You Don't See" opened last night. Amy had him on today.)

John Pilger: Global Support for WikiLeaks is "Rebellion" Against U.S. Militarism, Secrecy

The award-winning investigative journalist and documentary filmmaker John Pilger is one of many high-profile public supporters of Julian Assange and his organization WikiLeaks. Pilger has attended Assange’s court proceedings in London and has offered to contribute funds for his more than $300,000 bail. Pilger’s latest film, The War You Don’t See, includes interviews with Assange. Pilger says that WikiLeaks is revolutionizing journalism and galvanizing public opinion to stand up to global elites.

Because democracy is so messy, you know?

And Congressional Research Analysts are complaining about Wikileaks being blocked. They can't reference the primary docs in their analysis for Congress.
