Assange later told Frontline and CBS News after Pfc. Brad Manning was arrested that Wikileaks would have no way of identifying its source:
“Our technology means we don’t know who is submitting us materials,” Assange told Katie Couric in a segment aired by CBS News on December 18, 2010. “But the name Bradley Manning was first heard by us when we read an article about his arrest in Wired magazine.”
Assange also told the Frontline Club: “We don’t keep records of who our sources are, because it’s very difficult with modern communication spying to keep anything secret over the long term, extremely difficult when dealing with organizations that do not follow the rule of law like the NSA — so instead, our sort of modus operandi is when we receive material is to never know who it’s come from precisely.” - http://goo.gl/jvmsD
Seems like today’s a good day to resurface this.
FOX: George Zimmerman breaks his silence on Trayvon Martin case
Worth noting that Zimmerman and Hannity had a prior relationship — while with his original lawyers, Zimmerman talked directly to the Fox News host, even though he wasn’t authorized to.
Mitt Romney’s son Matt prank calls him with Arnold Schwarzenegger soundboard
After you’re done watching this, watch Matt and his brothers get grilled by Conan — an interview which features this amazing clip.
The video above shows Guangcheng boarding a flight with his family. Chen, the activist and self-taught lawyer, has left China for the United States. His public struggles have been going on for nearly a month, but he has finally been removed from under China’s rule. He wanted to leave China because he felt his safety, and that of his family, could no longer be guaranteed. After landing at the Newark-Liberty International Airport, Chen and his family were immediately taken to New York University, where he has accepted a fellowship to work in the law school, said NYU spokesperson John Beckman. source
“Water and stone. Flower and bone: home.”
From the terrestrial to the celestial, from the atomic to the tectonic, discovery is all about pursuing light in some way, isn’t it?
NASA has given us many gifts: Knowledge of this planet and many worlds beyond. At a time when many of their missions, and our sense of wonder and inspiration along with them, are in jeopardy … they remind us of how illuminating science can be.
Pursuit of Light is promotion for NASA, but it’s also promotion for thinking big, and embracing that “Ahhh” feeling. Full screen, HD, sound up.
Share it with someone you love, and stay curious.
Because what’s a good day without having your mind blown at least once?
ABC News releases surveillance video of arrest of George Zimmerman.
ABC News says there are no signs of blood or bruises on Zimmerman in this video taken not long after the shooting. What do you see?

“Because the biggest producers of content on the Internet are not Google and Yahoo — they’re us – we’re the ones getting policed. The real threat to the enactment of PIPA and SOPA is our ability to share things with one another.”
-Clay Shirky, in his “emergency” TED talk about SOPA and why it would create a “consumption-only Internet.”
Watch this, all. “The threat is this inversion of proof.”
Check out Ricky Gervais’ opening monologue from last night’s Golden Globe Awards. Among the highlights:
“For any of you that don’t know, the Golden Globes are just like the Oscars but without all that ‘esteem.’ The Golden Globes are to the Oscars what Kim Kardashian is to Kate Middleton. Basically.”
“Now, the Hollywood Foreign Press have warned me that if I insult any of you, or any of them, or offend any viewers or cause any controversy whatsoever, they’ll definitely invite me back next year as well.”
How did Mr. Gervais do?
This was funny, but he was funnier last year when he turned Tim Allen’s career into a pinata to smash around at will. His Johnny Depp bit was pretty good, though.
Americans for a Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow, has released its first ad to air in South Carolina - narrated by Jon Lithgow, the ad goes after Mitt “The Ripper” Romney. And of course, there’s a press release:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Definitely Not Coordinated With Stephen Colbert Super PAC Releases First Ad, Begins To Regret Length Of Name
AMERICA – The Definitely Not Coordinated With Stephen Colbert Super PAC released its first TV ad today, in advance of South Carolina’s upcoming unnamed GOP Primary. The ad, which takes an objective look at Mitt Romney’s private sector experience, is entitled “Attack In B Minor For Strings.”
“Mitt Romney claims to be pro-corporations,” said Jon Stewart, President of The Definitely Not Coordinated With Stephen Colbert Super PAC. “But would you let him date your daughter’s corporation? Americans have been clamoring for a comprehensive study of this crucial issue, so we splurged for the full sixty-second commercial. We think South Carolinians will agree – they deserve a leader who shares their state’s values, and perhaps even their state’s initials.”
The new spot begins airing today in a major ad buy that will blanket South Carolina from Charleston all the way to North Charleston. Those of you with some free AOL hours left can view the ad here.
The Definitely Not Coordinated With Stephen Colbert Super PAC, officially known as Americans For A Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow, is an independent, expenditure-only committee that’s been proudly serving the community since late Thursday.
Click through to Colbert’s Super PAC site for more information, including a note from Jon Stewart.
It seems everything Colbert does is pure unadulterated genius.
Nothing like a video that openly suggests Mitt Romney is a serial killer.
Buzzfeed’s 22 year old Andrew Kaczynski is seen as a rising star in the online world - finding rare videos of politicians contradicting themselves and in other compromising situations. Anthony De Rosa, picks this video maven’s brain.
Jack Shafer wonders if the art of digging up dirt on politicians has reached its saturation point.
This kid is my favorite part of BuzzFeed these days. Makes me wish I was that smart when I was 22.
