I never am sea sick, never. I am sea drunk!
While being tossed around the world from place to place as a teenager, I wasn't really tethered to any place or anyone.
I wanted the American public to know that not everyone in Iraq and Afghanistan were targets that needed to be neutralized, but rather people who were struggling to live in the pressure cooker environment of what we call asymmetric warfare.
I want people to see the truth. . . regardless of who they are. . . because without information, you cannot make informed decisions as a public.
I think we can achieve meaningful change, but only if we demand that the institutions themselves change their behavior.
I prefer a painful truth over any blissful fantasy.
I regret if my actions hurt anyone or harmed the United States. It was never my intent to hurt anyone. When I chose to disclose classified information, I did so out of a love for my country and a sense of duty to others.
