I Agree That There Are Things That

There Should Be At Least One Leak Like The Pentagon Papers Every Year.

My Activities, For Which I Gratefully Accept This Award, Are Today What They Have Been For Over Thirty-five Years And Will Be For The Rest Of My Life: To Counter Governmental Secrecy About The Nuclear Arms Race That Threatens The Survival Of Life On Earth; And To Help Build A World Movement That Will Prevent A First Use Since Nagasaki Of Nuclear Explosions, Prevent Or End Interventions That Could Lead To Such An Event, And Bring About A World Free Of Nuclear Weapons.

Wikileaks Serves As A Back-up For Those Who Want To Tell The Truth About The Inner Workings Of Government When The Mainstream Media Is Not Willing Or Taking Too Long To Publish.

The Courage We Need Is Not The Fortitude To Be Obedient In The Service Of An Unjust War, To Help Conceal Lies, To Do Our Job For A Boss Who Has Usurped Power And Is Acting As An Outlaw Government. It Is The Courage At Last To Face Honestly The Truth And Reality Of What We Are Doing In The World And Act Responsibly To Change It.

If There's Another 9/11 Or A Major War In The Middle-east Involving A U.s. Attack On Iran, I Have No Doubt That There Will Be, The Day After Or Within Days An Equivalent Of A Reichstag Fire Decree That Will Involve Massive Detentions In This Country.
