We in the West have deluded ourselves into believing that we actually have a truly free press. We don't. And we can see that in the difference between what Wikileaks does and what the rest of the press does."--Julian Assange Dan RobertsShortwave Report- www.outfarpress.comYouthSpeaksOut!-www.youthspeaksout.net
