Show Notes:
Media and politicians are putting out a lot of misinformation on Wikileaks and the UN investigates the U.S. on the alleged leaker Bradley Manning. Wikileaks may be fairly new to the scene (but not to regular IRTN listeners) but they are acting like, what's it called again, oh yeah, an investigative newspaper. The media get even the story about the media wrong on that one. And Obama finishes fairly strong with a lame duck Congress, including finally getting DADT repealed.
