More on Wikileaks

I know, I know, enough with wikileaks already. For the last seven months we have all been bombarded with news about wikileaks, and moral discussions about their philosophy and practices. But this article from the New York Times Magazine is the best I have seen yet, and truly adds a new chapter to the wikileaks saga.

Just be warned, this is a long article, so have a big pot of coffee and/or jug of beer ready when you start reading.

Drugs and society

This episode of the "Cato Daily Podcast" takes a bold look at the war on drugs, and the effect it is having on society. Thanks to Scott in Fort Worth for sending this one in my direction.
