An interview with Julian AssangeMichael Hastings
January 29, 2012
It's a few days before Christmas, and Julian Assange has just finished moving to a new hide-out deep in the English countryside. The two-bedroom house, on loan from a WikiLeaks supporter, is comfortable enough, with a big stone fireplace and a porch out back, but it's not as grand as the country estate where he spent the past 363 days under house arrest, waiting for a British court to decide whether he will be extradited to Sweden to face allegations that he sexually molested two women he was briefly involved with in August 2010.

January 29, 2012
Academic conferences don't usually muster public attention, but in 2009 the organizers of the blandly titled Israel/Palestine: Mapping Models of Statehood and Paths to Peace found themselves at the center of a media shit storm fuelled by the hysterical rhetoric of pro-Israel community groups and their supporters in the media.

Who is Newt Gingrich's biggest donor and what does he want?Shannon McCaffrey

Egypt's Revolution: one year laterProf. Dr. Mohamed Elmasry
January 20, 2012
Achievements of a revolution can be measured in two ways: (1) by a real time scale - in the case of Egypt's Revolution the achievements during its first year are all miracles - or (2) by a scale of unrealistic expectations where people end up disappointed. As a senior scientist, an academic and a participant in Egypt's Revolution for the last year, I favour the first measuring scale.

How did our friend Iran become our enemy?Jim Powell
January 20, 2012
