Our #OfficialSecrets Q&A began with a huge standing ovation for Katharine Gunn, and her act of courage to release the Iraq memo. Cheers of "Bravo" from the crowd as she took her place with @democracynow Amy Goodman and @HuffPost @lpolgreen #51Fest @democracynow @HuffPost @lpolgreen “I was so angered by the email.
