As we have seen, WikiLeaks is a robust organization. During my time in solitary confinement in the basement of a Victorian prison, we continue to release, our media partners continued to write stories.

The world owes all its onward impulses to men ill at ease. The happy man inevitably confines himself within ancient limits. ↗

The good die young but not always. The wicked prevail but not consistently. I am confused by life, and I feel safe within the confines of the theatre. ↗
