Behind the Arab Revolt Is a Word We Dare Not Speak
Shortly after the invasion of Iraq in 2003, I interviewed Ray McGovern, one of an elite group of CIA officers who prepared then-president George W. Bush’s daily intelligence brief.

julian-assange-fanciers-guild:
If you’ve been uncomfortable with the confluence of commerce and activism that the Wikileaks merchandise store represents, you can now indulge in your secretly bourgeois ironic post-everything hipster tendencies by wrapping yourself in Helvetica-typefaced diplomatic cables! Genius, really.
What a brilliant way to get around that awkwardness. You can also have...

ANNOUNCEMENT: Cutting back
I realise that I have a lot of new readers since the uprising in Egypt began. That is why I thought I should write this note about how I see Wikileaks Tsunami carrying on.

This means I will be spending decreasing amounts of time on...

By Richard Dowden I am sure I am not the only person to have noticed the striking resemblance between Moamar el-Gadaffi and Ozmymandias, King of Kings, as recorded by the poet Shelley. At the 2008 African Union Summit in Addis Ababa Gadaffi actually got Africa’s traditional rulers to name him “King of Kings” and he called on all the traditional kings of Africa to rise up and lead when Africa’s...
