The public needs to know the kinds of things a government does in its name, or the 'consent of the governed' is meaningless... The consent of the governed is not consent if it is not informed.

There have been times throughout American history where what is right is not the same as what is legal. Sometimes to do the right thing you have to break the law.

Arguing that you don't care about privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say.

Drank a lot of take home pay.

I think a high school girl hitchhiking is stupid. It was dangerous then and it's dangerous now.

My audience is often hands-up, standing and cheering and on tables and all of that kind of things.

Every time something slips through the cracks, the cracks get bigger.
