- Heather Brooke

She was observed in We Steal Secrets: The Story of WikiLeaks as a pundit giving commentary based on her freedom of information campaigning experience and dealings with Julian Assange.

These days in progress censorship has been spreading, I'm totally against it, there's nothing more unintelligent to stifle people's opinion, because they will find a way to voice it anyways!

"Censorship is the tool of those who have the need to hide actualities from themselves and from others. Their fear is only their inability to face what is real, and I can't vent any anger against them; I only feel this appalling sadness. Somewhere in their upbringing, they were shielded against the total facts of our existence."

~ Charles Bukowski  v

"Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech."
 

-- Benjamin Franklin   v
