WH forces P.J. Crowley to resign for condemning abuse of Manning - Glenn Greenwald - Salon.com
Moneyquote: "So, in Barack Obama's administration, it's perfectly acceptable to abuse an American citizen in detention who has been convicted of nothing by consigning him to 23-hour-a-day solitary confinement, barring him from exercising in his cell, punitively imposing "suicide watch" restrictions on him against the recommendations of brig psychiatrists, and subjecting him to prolonged, forced nudity designed to humiliate and degrade. But speaking out against that abuse is a firing offense. Good to know."

This is change and hope?

DOJ subpoenas Twitter records of several WikiLeaks volunteers - Glenn Greenwald - Salon.com
Moneyquote: "It was issued on December 14 and ordered sealed -- i.e., kept secret from the targets of the Order.  It gave Twitter three days to respond and barred the company from notifying anyone, including the users, of the existence of the Order.  On January 5, the same judge directed that the Order be unsealed at Twitter's request in order to inform the users and give them 10 days to object; had Twitter not so requested, it would have been compelled to turn over this information without the knowledge of its users."

Twitter is awesome.
