don't apply that to bradley manning. explain what you mean. >> so many people say, of course, we need more transparency. people say if snowden hadn't fled i would respect them. but bradley manning didn't flee. look what jeff said earlier. manning is wrong because he didn't read all the documents he leaked. i can assure you that every single document edward snowden turned over to us he read before he gave them to us, because every document is filed according to topic. so if what jeff is saying is true, which is my problem with bradley manning, he should be praising edward snowden, yet he isn't. people all contrive excuses to attack anybody who brings transparency to the government unless they're powerful officials in washington. >> i'm not talking about powerful officials. i'm talking about foreign service officers who are on the street in every capital in the world. and small cities around the world, trying to gather information, report it to their superiors. the idea that bradley manning is the only one or edward snowde

and bradley manning is not the only whistleblower feeling the pressure from the u.s. government the latest is of course a former n.s.a. contractor edward snowden who blew the lid on america's secret surveillance activities and is currently stranded in the transit zone of a moscow airport as poor as the two cases are part of a wider movement for transparency that may be impossible for washington to stop the u.s. government's relentless crackdown on whistleblowers this sort of designed to scare the whistleblowers of the future but we see that bradley manning's fate is not scared edward snowden for example so despite the crackdown whistleblowers keep coming forward with revelations about the government's wrongdoings as they see them so the u.s. government decided that punishment is perhaps not enough in the wake of bradley manning's leaks the government came up with the so-called inside a flight program under which government employees with clearances are basically instructed to. judge their colleagues speech and behavior and determine whether they might might become a w
