That was a good show, So RT is on board that good.
I would expect RT to be one of the first maybe they are a suspect site too. I guess I will have to turn on the TV and check out the rest of the media, what a depressing though, hope I don't get ill doing it.

Lets hope they don't kill him to send a message to the other potential whistleblowers.
The man needs to be given a Nobel Peace Prize, but will probably be treated like Bradley Manning.
