#5 I turned on the snoop Brad M.,
And let the excuses spin.
Around nordic towns I did roam.
Drinking all night.
Sold my book rights.
My mum she needs me.
I want to go home.

So look at Brad M in jail,
But don't you look at my mail.
Call for a lawyer abroad,
Let me go home.
Wa wanna go home, yeah yeah,
My bank says I'm broke now,
I wanna go home.

#6 NPR has a long interview with Bill Keller, executive editor of the New York Times, about Assange and the WikiLeaks cables. Among other things, Mr. Keller describes how he came to dislike and distrust his supplier:

Keller tells Terry Gross that during an early conversation with representatives of The Guardian, Assange was told that both The Guardian and The New York Times wanted to edit out the names of ordinary Afghan citizens in classified military documents.

"Assange's reaction was, 'Well, they're informants. There's no reason for protecting them,' " Keller says. "But I think over time, he came around to the view that at least, from a public relations point of view, it was better to allow for a certain amount of editing out of things that could cost lives."
