Here Are The Things Americans Want The Government To Focus On In 2014 The Associated Press and Center for Public Affairs Research are out with a new poll this morning looking at what Americans want the government to work on in 2014 and their faith in the government's ability to actually accomplish anything.

Julian Assange Gave A Very Peculiar Response When He Was Asked About 'Getting Snowden Out Of The US' A strange exchange occurred when members of the anti-secrecy organization WikiLeaks were asked about the flight of Edward Snowden at a Chaos Computer Club conference last week. WikiLeaks has been credited with helping Snowden escape extradition to the U.S. after the 30-year-old left Hawaii with at least hundreds of thousands of classified NSA files and flew to Hong Kong on May 20. At the Chaos Computer Club conference on Dec. 29, Assange said that "WikiLeaks was able to rescue Edward Snowden because we are an organized institution with collective experience."

NYT Wants Clemency For ‘Whistle-Blower’ Snowden The New York Times editorial board is calling for President Barack Obama to take mercy on former NSA contractor-turned-leaker Edward Snowden. In an editorial published late Wednesday, the newspaper called Snowden a “whistle-blower” and said Obama should grant him clemency. While the Times concedes that Snowden broke the law in leaking data on the NSA’s vast surveillance and data-collection programs, the paper also said that, “considering the enormous value of the information he has revealed, and the abuses he has exposed, Mr. Snowden deserves better than a life of permanent exile, fear... http://politicaldelight.com/news/nyt-wants-clemency-for-whistleblower-snowden |

Is It Remotely Plausible That Kim Jong-un Had His Uncle Eaten By 120 Dogs? The big news out of North Korea today is that, according to the Strait Times, Kim Jong-un fed his uncle to 120 hungry dogs after he was purged from the North Korean leadership. According to the report, Jang Song-taek was stripped naked and thrown into a cage with his aides, then dogs that had been starved for three days were set on them. The whole execution process apparently took around an hour, during which Kim and 300 other officials watched. It's an incredible twist to the already incredible story of... http://politicaldelight.com/news/is-it-remotely-plausible-that-kim-jongun-had-his-uncle-eaten-by-120-dogs |
