to their online whistle blowing web site wiki leaks. welcome to the loner show where we get the real headlines with none of the mercy or human live in washington d.c. now and i'm going to speak to daniel ellsberg bradley manning enters the courtroom for the first time in the eighteen months of his detention and why the most damning charges against him could result in a death sentence we're going to ask if this kind of whistle blowing really deserves a medal then we've documented to you that in the last ten years more than four hundred terrorism related cases have been prosecuted in our civilian courts but is the word terrorism being applied way too loosely to speak to an environmental activist who himself was locked up and housed within one of these units and then last night we were forced to watch yet another republican debate former governor of new mexico and a presidential candidate gary johnson is going to join us to give us his perspective on what was said and what was left untouched so you have all that putting a dose of happy hou

state department documents to wiki leaks. now c.n.n. was the only channel that even sent somebody over to fort meade m s n b c just said a few words about it over a still photo of manning and fox news well unsurprisingly fox news didn't even bother to touch upon it at all and i guess i can't say that i'm really surprised the mainstream media has been completely apathetic about manning's case especially the horrible conditions that he was held in while the break in quantico and the fact that for months he was detained without any charges but there's something else to be said about what's happening at this pretrial hearing today for me something that should concern our media outlets if they gave a damn about the freedom of the press and transparency and the value of public information as we highlighted to you on yesterday's show the amount of information the public in the press will actually be able to see here is very limited despite the fact of the state department cables at this point have been released on the internet published in new

army private accused of leaking hundreds of thousands of sensitive military documents and cables so wiki leaks and he supposedly did this through downloading the files onto a lady ga ga desk i think it's a common one lady ga ga this how is it possible that with our with our advanced technology and and massive spending on security about a hack like this can happen i mean shouldn't there be something in place to prevent it from happening in the first place well i think what we're finding is that nothing much is secure a sphere difficult to have secured transactions and all sorts of things get hacked that people didn't expect to be hacked and so i'm not surprised. it went to sturbridge me about it is the treatment bradley manning has received for what two years now. this is in my view inexcusable. as a united states soldier he is requirement to report war crimes and if he actually did what he's accused of doing then he did his duty and so wisely being punished. you know and we are we're going to have a lot more on the bradley manning later on in the show bring it back to do this topic of te

tonight truth and consequence for the wiki leaks. he has impacted governments around the world is lifted the veil of the us empire to show us what we really are . an american soldier faces his first pretrial hearing for leaking a treasure trove of u.s. military secrets a move it could cost him life in jail. two of the world's emerging economic powers russia and india are looking to become because of stability in a sea of global crisis at the meeting in moscow president medvedev and prime minister singh and discussed a whole range of pivotal issues from military energy ties to the political troubles of their neighbors and is a country a grove of reports. as the crisis continues to readjust the world economic powers emerging economies like russia and india look more than sad today to remain firmly in the spotlight as members of the breaks group they alone encompass more about it beeped of the world's land coverage and their g.d.p. in twenty eleven stood at seven billion dollars and it continues to grow and one of the grim unsane dia an

it is very evident now that manning was actively seeking out information about wiki leaks and the prosecution has raised numerous times that he was interested in iceland which was a base of operations so in that sense i mean can we say this is kind of damning news for bradley manning or perhaps even for julian assan she was always claimed that he didn't know or he does not know who his sources are what do you think daniel. i would hardly call it damning i like to think for president obama is giving credit to bradley manning by accusing him of putting out this information and certainly it's made him our hero when out of a lot of other people so called it damning but what do you think in terms of the case of they're trying to build the grand jury that's going on in virginia being built against wiki leaks and you know what bradley manning's own fate might be so the fear here is that because. paul moms who is the investigative officer presiding because he has a backstory with the department of justice the fear that the defense has is that they're going to try to flip bradley manning and use him t

now if you were wiki leaks released a quarter of a million confidential state department cables they were splashed across the internet published on the front pages of the new york times the guardian hillary clinton responded and the entire u.s. foreign policy world was in a tizzy. united states strongly condemns the illegal disclosure of classified information it puts people's lives in danger threatens our national security and undermines our efforts to work with other countries to solve shared problems. well it's funny because the government seems to have forgotten about all that and prefers to live in a dream state pretending that those cables aren't public knowledge say back in april the a.c.l.u. filed a freedom of information act request seeking it twenty three state department cables that had been made public by wiki leaks but they still asked to test the state department and the state department seem to fall right into the trap and they really did themselves this time they just responded as if the content of the requested cables was still confidential they withheld twelve cable

so is it was a silly demand so is the military chain of command private first class to wiki leaks or is there a chain of command to which you should have worked here and to which you should have reported which he didn't do well i mean if i could jump in here see what are you doing here gentlemen here she did i mean i mean but that's the whole point of this isn't it i mean he would never been allowed to release this information because he'd gone through the chain of command and that's how do you suppose that's why he made it very hard to believe and we know well how do you how convinced are you of that it would happen it's very strange i mean you because of her i don't think i am good ninety nine percent of the military are war criminals and i think if you'd reported it up the food chain they would have dealt with it properly and it wouldn't have damaged international security interests you're saying the military is going to you're saying the missing gentleman so i said you say had no choice sorry they said went to the merry ways please please by please bob this is a seat and you're s
