1. I've read some press reports on @DanielEllsberg giving evidence at the Julian #Assange extradition hearing. I can just read very basic press reports,because I'm witness of fact, so until I give evidence I'm not allowed to watch the hearing, as the US counsel requested
2. though the press reports on #DanielEllsberg's statements were basic, they confirm why I deeply admire the exceptional courage and integrity of #DanielEllsberg, a straight timber of humanity
3. in the last 11years of my work on #WikiLeaks,I've asked myself why the US has produced #Ellsberg,#Manning, #Snowden, conscientious objectors who have risked their necks to tell the truth,whereas my country,with its deeply Catholic culture of *ethics*, hasn't produced any
4.I've thought a lot about this and understood what drives my work on this: contributing to create a culture of integrity by protecting #whistleblowers and those who allow them to reveal the truth:it's not enough to have truth-tellers,you also need courageous publishers
