Inside the Secret World of WikiLeaks →
itnumberpi:
WikiLeaks has done it again. This weekend, the whistle-blowing website released 92,000 military documents that vividly illustrate why the US military campaign in Afghanistan has achieved so little success.

“I’m pretty removed from my own sexuality at the moment for reasons you would likely find as boring as hearing about my dreams. I’m rebuilding it though, slowly, from the ground up. If you want we can make a fort later with my virgin mary cloak- let me know.”

rememo:
New results from research led by a College astronomer suggest that a dense stellar remnant has been ripped apart by a black hole a thousand times as massive as the sun.
