Julian Assange, DSA, Amazon, Julia Roberts, Peter Jackson, CIA in the US House

An e-mail asks why I'm not noting WSWS?  When they cover Iraq, I do try to note them in the snapshot.  In addition, we're on the mailing list and that always goes up here unless it's an event and I don't see it until after the event is over.  

Due to the e-mail, we'll note this from the front page of WSWS currently (it's is not the entire front page).
