Daniel Berg Quotes:

  • Daniel Berg: Courage is contagious. Right?

  • Daniel Berg: We're going to have to push back publication, there's no way we can release in four days.

    Julian Assange: Fourteen pages in the Guardian. Twelve in the New York Times. This is more coverage than all of the leaks we have had combined.
