“ The truth may be puzzling. It may take some work to grapple with. It may be
counterintuitive. It may contradict deeply held prejudices. It may not be
consonant with what we desperately want to be true. But our preferences do not
determine what's true. ”

I went to the link in a headline that I received. The article says
that Chelsea manning has been arrested for refusing to testify in front of a
grand jury about WikkiLeaks. But I can't read the article because suddenly,
one has to subscribe for $10.01 to read any of the articles. Ah, the free
press!
