Extract from Assange's book in newsweek, some fascinating and horrifying stuff about Google and Eric Schmidt's involvement in US politics and foreign policy

In particular this:

“Your insights as a key member of the Defense Industrial Base,” Alexander [chief of the NSA]wrote to Brin, “are valuable to ensure ESF’s efforts have measurable impact.”

"The Department of Homeland Security defines the Defense Industrial Base as “the worldwide industrial complex that enables research and development, as well as design, production, delivery, and maintenance of military weapons systems, subsystems, and components or parts, to meet U.S. military requirements""

Despite assange's somewhat arrogant tone at the beginning of the piece I think it's extremely well written and cogent
