Perhaps their choice of title was unfortunate. "We steal secrets" is part of a quote uttered by a reformed government higher-up interviewed in the documentary. The documentary itself does not conflate Manning and Assange to any extent. I see you haven't yet watched it. I haven't looked at today's Manning news but it sounds interesting.
While I love a good conspiracy theory as much as anyone here, I recently watched and highly recommend this documentary if you haven't already seen it. It was quite an eye opener for me. Assange certainly seems to have made some tactical mistakes due to personality 'flaws.'
It seems to me that the timing of Bloom County's return could be very interesting if attracts some sustained attention. With the departure of Jon Stewart, I would imagine that this strip could succeed on the level of simple humour, but also occupy some of that 'leftist' media space which will be largely vacant otherwise, even if Stewart's successor does well.
Regardless of a person's political leanings, satire is one of the great methods for getting the proletariat to consider things that they might otherwise miss.
I, for one, welcome our new honk-nosed overlord!
Your post and the video in TFS prompted me to go to youtube in search of tazer/police brutality footage. Truly disheartening. I would recommend to anyone to do the same for a more visceral experience of what appears to be common police activity.
As a former Seattlite, I applaud the city's efforts, and I wonder what this will mean with respect to cost for the end user and competition in the market:
" The city will lease out the unused fiber, but will not have ownership in the provider nor a relationship with the end customers"
Can there be multiple lessees along particular routes, or is the whole thing likely to be gobbled up by Comcast or FIOS?
"The source said that under the NDB's present structure, its human resources staff - responsible for, among other things, ensuring the reliability and trustworthiness of the agency's personnel - is lumped together organizationally with the agency's information technology division. This potentially made it difficult or confusing for the subdivision's personnel to investigate themselves"
you'd think they'd have taken this into consideration in the first place. Rookie mistake?

Do editors regularly change headlines? There is a huge difference in meaning between the edited headline and the initial wording, IMO.
