There's a theory about fame: the moment it strikes, it arrests development. Michael Jackson remained suspended in childhood, enjoying sleepovers and funfairs; Winona Ryder, an errant teen who dabbled in shoplifting and experimented with pills; George Clooney, a 30-year-old commitment-phobe, never quite ready yet to settle down.
WikiLeaks exposed corruption, war crimes, torture and cover-ups. It showed that we were lied to about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan; that the U.S. military had deliberately hidden information about systematic torture and civilian casualties, which were much higher than reported.
In my experience, being busy and working hard is the key to sanity/happiness.
Accountability and democratic choice, I deeply believe, are guaranteed by rigorous scrutiny only.
WikiLeaks exposed the most dangerous lies of all, which are those that are told to us by elected governments.
