to you working for an established newspaper the new york times what do you think that says about the state of the media today is there any sort of significance we can draw from that especially when it comes to maybe investigative reporting well yes you can of course it's an electronic age we are entering but the you can't compare this to the pentagon papers it's not the same thing it's apples and oranges the pentagon papers was a major it was a it was not just a leak leak it was a flood obviously like this but after that beyond that there's there's no comparison the pentagon papers was a record of the decision making on the war in vietnam at the highest level. it was the secrets of the president the secretary of defense the secretary of state it was not tactical material there's nothing in it of any military security value it was full of major historical secrets and scandals this material that wiki leaks

has leaked to the press is on the ground military stuff it's the nitty gritty of the war it's its its values its tangibility about the war itself but it's not high level decision making it's on the ground stuff but when you look beyond the information the source or the informant or whatever you want to call it felt more comfortable perhaps giving the information to julian assange the founder of wiki leaks as opposed to giving it directly to a newspaper like the new york times or the guardian is there anything significant about that do you think well it will have to see i mean you could be a pattern of it if he could just as well just as easily have given it to a newspaper and it would depend on the person he probably was attracted to science because assad had had previously used that material about an american helicopter gunships shooting firing in an ambush in iraq and. and some civilians were killed

in that incident and maybe he felt that our size would help him more. it looks like what's what's incredible about this is that the military who are who are now saying which is putting informants danger which he may have done the times and the guardian and we. were very careful to speak to take out the names of four of them probably in the original documents there are a name for the military are incredible. to have with this stuff on almost virtually on line within their own system apparently the all of this could have come from one soldier who obtains. when i was in vietnam the names have been on and form it would be would be it would be very carefully guarded you not many people would be able to get at that kind of material

military seems to have gotten very careless again because of the electronic age i mean you put this thing all in within their system and anybody can look it up and anybody can download it it's incredible and you know we're talking about the electronic age and how kind of releasing information is so different today than it was you know thirty forty years ago but at the same time julian assange and then went to the new york times and the guardian very established kind of mainstream news organizations to release the information that he had received why was it important for him to kind of pair up with these traditional mainstream news organizations when it came to releasing the information as opposed to maybe doing it himself because this material if he just dumped this material out there on the internet let's say it's in comprehensible ninety thousand or ninety two thousand pages of documentation to the average person it's absolutely income perhaps what he had to give it to somebody if it was going to be an. ective with it at the same

time there have been rumors that one of the new york times reporters who had access to this information that was in the documents perhaps notified someone within the obama administration do you think that could have possibly happened and what do you think is the relationship between these mainstream news organizations and the obama administration compared to maybe in your time between these mainstream news organizations and the administration and normal procedure in the old days something like this. with with the pentagon papers we kept it absolutely secret because we decided ourselves there was nothing in there of any military security value if we had gotten documents where we and other cases where we thought there was a military security problem we will perhaps call it go contact the government find out what they would object to and if we decided it was really there were really was a military security issue involved we delete that in this case they deleted the

names of the informants maybe they did that after talking to somebody in government i don't know but that's the responsible thing to do but you don't let government control what you're going to publish or you make that very clear you're going to publish the documents is there anything that legitimately argue that it's going to hurt somebody ok take that out in the case of the pentagon papers we didn't have anything of any military which is why the courts upheld us and it seems when it comes to the coverage of this whole wiki leaks stories the news channels seem to be obsessed with who is joyous anjan and what was his motivation as opposed to perhaps the information that was actually in the documents what do you make of that kind of coverage and the scrutiny of the actual innocence has been placed under well he was bound to get there and he was going to be under the heat the military and institutions are going to get and we're bound to get angry over this is that made.

your embarrassment to these people that the leak on this scale would occur particularly a leak that apparently contains sensitive you know names of informants that could get people killed. so they were bound to go after him but that doesn't negate the validity of the information of the documentation people who make leaks like this whoever leaked it aside and the sides who distribute it always have an axe to grind. and that's why they're they're taking you know that they're that action that's where they're taking the risk so what you have to look at is how valid is this material could create some a bunch of kids make this up in a cellar or is this really a military information good it gives you know maybe gritty the turn that makes the experience. nothing you know me or like you hadn't done previously would you get

that into it does this it shows how difficult. how difficult the environment was clerking you don't know who to trust in you dealing with a corrupt with with a corrupt government is the american public got to remember has very little contact with the reality of the war the that we don't have a draft anymore the sons of the middle class are not being drafted the being sent off to war as occurred in vietnam the p. a soldier's in you know afghanistan are young men and women who joined because they they either want to be a soldier or marine or because they think they're going to get a college education and they'll survive it won't happen they won't catch a bullet they won't catch an explosive it won't happen to them so the middle class just as this except financially which they don't see directly because it's you comes out of their taxes they're not connected to the war senator how do you get home how do you personally feel about the war in afghanistan i do think president

obama is handling it well obviously there seems to be a growing public disapproval what do you think is the right thing to do at this point the sad thing is that we just war would have been to go into afghanistan as we did initially after nine eleven but really do it seriously instead bush went in there didn't really accomplish much of anything and went off on a very rocky got bogged down in that unnecessary stupid crazy war iraq it shows with you to. just because. it's probably. shit if you didn't you read about it followed the war time prior to this and you see how scary difficult it's going to be will be the united states will be darn damned lucky to pull off a success in afghanistan when you look at a wiki leaks and you look at the pentagon papers maybe it's not a fair comparison but in both situations the information was released to you in the

case of the pentagon papers and to mr astonished when it came to the wiki leaks to the information from the afghanistan documents how do you compare yourself to ham you know a lot of people are questioning his motivation for releasing the information do you have any thoughts on how he stacks up to you i was in a different position than julian assange julian assange was leaking material in the case of my case i was receiving material that belonged in the public domain and and it was already it was be you know it was already leaked and your opinion should he have released the information. yeah i would have if i had been in his position i would have been very careful to go through that material and cut out the names of informants and that sort of thing he released documents with the names of informants and that's pretty damned irresponsible because you can get people killed while mr c. hand i want to thank you so much for taking the time to talk to us. for
