    That article on Wikileaks was interesting. It was a little teal deer for work, but I breezed through it because I had been thinking that it was a bit weird for the press to be assassinating Julian Assange’s character like they have been. I thought the press would like him, because he gave them all this great material for stories but they seem to hate him. I figured maybe they were mad that he gave them so much stuff to have to read?
