you have to look at these claims with a jaundiced eye because after a period of time you take a look at them and there's no danger as you mentioned the obama administration has prosecuted more allegedly leakers then under the espionage act then all previous administrations combined. do you believe that leakers such as bradley manning should be subject to some discipline yes i do and i would think that if you work for this organization you used secrets you probably ought to be fired i think every organization or have a control over its employees and therefore i think the bradley manning should be disciplined and i think the twenty years to which he's agreed probably probably is a good good sentiments i think the question with bradley manning right now is these agreed to twenty and the government wants to give them life and i just wonder whether that's appropriate but i do believe every organization should be able to discipline its employees ok then then do you fault the u.s.

department of justice of trying to find out who the leakers are because as you well now there's been a scandal with the d.o.j. . secretly uptake into the phone records from associate press journalists and also obtained a warrant to search the e-mail account of a fox news reporter so do you defend the u.s. government in trying to find out who the leakers are i think it is there's two things one. we've got six prosecutions of leakers three in all is true and states before them. everyone leaks and washing with everyone's got access to massive security information i think what the obama ought to do is dial it back he's dob dot a back on drones six is too many though to be some discretion because once you start getting everybody some of these cases blow up in your face that's the first question and then the second question is how you go about it ok i

don't think when the government is concerned about the behavior of its own employees to take the press and throw the press into the middle of it which is what they have done in what we call rosen gate rosen is the reporter for fox new loser who was subject to a search warrant trying to a search warrant on the third he was a coconspirator with a gentleman named cam i mean i look at you you don't look like a coconspirator to me but if you were to start covering some washington stories which inevitably were involved now security information you're subject to being called a coconspirator you know legally i could give you a song and dance but just for your viewers in terms of common sense we know reporters aren't coconspirators and we know their records shouldn't be subject to search warrants come on lay off president bush so why do you think they're doing it

do you think they're doing it to the to intimidate us journalists from seeking information and publishing sure these reports are not necessarily i mean what if they did it if they did that to your colleague here you would be intimidated or if indeed they did it to you would be intimidate the next time around they're also trying to intimidate those who who leak and i think i said i think they should do some discretion here because you know when the president speaks to you he's leaking your thought about that because every member of agent in washington particularly the information which he's got his hands. on is classified course you can declassify but it's a dummy sense to me so the impact is that we have less information we have less power you and me and the government by keeping the information secret you know there are huge. complex they become more powerful and that's not good for any of us

now as a result of the a.p. and fox news scandals the new yorker magazine has launched a platform for whistleblowers to secretly leak information the program is called strong box and it's an open source dropbox that allows anyone to send leaked documents or messages without their identities ever being known so this way if the justice department asks anyone from the new yorker magazine where did you get this information who was your source the new yorker says well we don't know don't you find it interesting that the new yorker is now using the first amendment practices of julian a songe to protect the bradley manning's of the world right and it doesn't surprise me at all because that's what the new yorker should be doing in the digital age that's what publishers do and by the way after the bradley man who the julius story broke the new york times said we're going to set one up and i think the wall street

journal set one up to now songes saying i mean obama saying i want to get a son but as cyrus is just like the new yorker the wall street journal the new york times you might as well go and get the new york times through and that's what i'm here of to say i'm scared about during his national speech on thursday president obama actually did say that it's troubled by the possibility that the department of justice investigations into leaks make chilled the type of journalism that holds government accountable as a result he announced that he's calling on congress to pass a media shield law to guard against government overreach do you think that will help do you think that will do anything or do you think that's just rhetoric that well president is using. i think probably both what he said was i want chuck schumer was our senator from new york to put the bill in so show me gets up and says look i'm going to put it in but first of all we're going to have an exception

for wiki leaks is not going to cover wiki leaks ok and then the second thing he says is not going to cover national security. we'll have a national security exception well i will say in defense of schumer that the old bill on which this is based didn't completely eliminate all national security leaks but it had a provision in there that made it very difficult to justify it so i have a question whether that is worth the candle but gee whiz my friend chilian assigns he's not going to get the protection after we find out the new yorker is doing the same thing he's doing there's certainly certainly been some cases where journalists have abused their power are a recent example is that bloomberg reporters are now facing somewhat of a scandal they've been accused of accessing private data on the bloomberg terminal to further their reporting. do you see this as

a big deal like that i think that's a big deal i mean that's a little bit like there murdoch scandal in london you know when the burnt out papers were doing the same thing they're hacking in these people are actually hacking i was suppose but as it's the same same effect you've got to have privacy. for you know but i am not defending the bloomberg journalist i think we've got to realize that we're in a new world digital world and we're going to get clear what the rules are because it's so easy to cheat you've been called the father of reporter's privilege and what do you see as the current threats to press freedom in the united states frankly as president obama and rosen rosen gate and i'll tell you why because. this is the first time. i hate to use the word espionage act but you know national security act let's say for your viewers has been used to get reporters i mean that

really is frightening to try to name because it's usually. used to get leakers and rosen's a leaky to use legal phraseology so if the bomb and ministration releases justice department thinks that they can use criminal laws to get journalists because they're coconspirators i mean honestly that's one of the worst things i've come across and all the years i've been doing this. and in closing i mentioned your book when began the interview what do you hope that readers get from your book well the purpose of the book is to learn the lessons from the pentagon papers which is hate and the president messes with national security is going to be in deep yogurt wake up america and wake up president obama the country is going to be in bad shape and president obama he don't go after julian assad and call him a coconspirator that's. so. you know it's
