According to The Sydney Morning Herald, "Declassified US Air Force counter-intelligence documents, released under US freedom-of-information laws, reveal that military personnel who contact WikiLeaks or WikiLeaks supporters may be at risk of being charged with "communicating with the enemy", a military crime that carries a maximum sentence of death."

Since I support WikiLeaks, military folks should probably stay away from me...

The US military has designated Julian Assange and WikiLeaks as enemies of the United States - the same legal category as the al-Qaeda terrorist network and the Taliban insurgency.

This is the book that every young adult should be given when the time comes for that "talk to your kids about drugs" moment, and that every adult whose head has been filled with Drug War propaganda should read to clear out the nonsense. Weil and Rosen discuss not only drugs and their effects, but why people take drugs in the first place. Essential reading.
