police to bar and did nothing but old. cars from television they moved from here i said why don't you move they got their action from the police they couldn't make your. life interview with the people and this is the problem. what happened in turkey was called a disgraceful use of excessive police force by amnesty international water cannons tear gas and pepper spray were all used against mostly peaceful protesters once the police are treated however the crowds turned their anger against the t.v. trucks of the state media accusing stations of failing to broadcast the reality of square hundreds of people wounded and talk of several deaths this is the human toll of the clashes on the street politics is the hottest topic of conversation even an attempt to record an interview turns into a heated debate this is a very strange experience for me. i can explain. i will

1:07 am
collateral murder the cold blooded brutality of the occupation captured on film it was leaked by a young american soldier army private bradley manning the video was uploaded to wiki leaks but it would prove to be just the tip of the iceberg the former army intelligence analyst leaked more than seven hundred thousand documents containing classified information to that whistle blowing web site they included reports of torture abuse higher than acknowledge civilian casualties in short an unvarnished view of america's wars now known as the afghanistan and iraq war logs in may arrest seeking approval for his actions manning began a dialogue with a hacker named adrian levo chat logs that turned over to the government leading to manning's arrest and subsequent confinement now what came next was what proved to be one of the longest military pretrial detentions of a u.s. soldier since the vietnam war bradley manning was held in maximum security solitary
1:08 am
confinement in a cell his attorney says was no bigger than six by eight feet and as the number of charges grew against manning to twenty two he was allowed to plead guilty to ten lesser charges this in exchange for a maximum sentence of sixteen years now by december two thousand and twelve when he took the stand to testify about the conditions that he endured he had been in confinement for more than one thousand days now the freedom of the press foundation broke court perscribe rules it released bradley manning's explanation of his action in his own words to the public today june third bradley manning's court martial will pursue the remaining more serious charges including aiding the enemy judging by what manning has already said that or a prisoner of a maximum security facility and a hostage to your conscience of course the question of whether the young man will spend the rest of his life in prison will be answered at this trial. well private
1:09 am
manning has admitted to sending materials to wiki leaks but disputes the main charge of aiding the enemy which carries a potential life sentence. former m i five whistleblower she says president obama has an appalling track record when it comes to cracking down on people who are seeking to enlighten the public and it's very difficult for the whistleblower to fight any personal attacks which they used to undermine him and i've seen this time and time again for example they will always try and ruin her reputation the whistleblower rather than address the issues that he has raised here she has raised and this is what they do time and time again with whistleblowers they will always attack the personality of the person exposing the crimes and not address the crime of ahmed al has an appalling track record he has reanimated an old law which is the one thousand nine hundred seventeen espionage act in america and he has used it i think six or seven times so far during the presidency to persecute and prosecute and threaten whistleblowers now this is more than all the other us present in
1:10 am
aggregate in terms of use of the espionage act to crack down on whistle blowing and the fact that he's now using an antiquated piece of legislation that supposed to protect america from espionage against journalists and whistleblowers who act in the public good i think is just disgusting private manning says that he leaked the material because he felt the people had the right so know that the u.s. military had little regard for human life when fighting its wars in iraq and afghanistan for example there have been a worldwide demonstrations in support of the embattled army private over the weekend thousands rallying in front of the courthouse where the trial takes place though in canada germany even south korea also seeing similar rallies and as artie's marina for now reports court martial process begins at a time when the u.s. is accused of being anything but truthful or transparent. the military court martial against private first class bradley manning begins at
1:11 am
a complicated time for the obama administration u.s. journalists have been spied on an unprecedented number of whistleblowers have been in prison and access to the truth many say grows increasingly harder by the day we have a severe problem with transparency and secrecy in this country that's for sure our problem is a cult of secrecy extreme levels of dystopian secrecy washington classified ninety two million documents in the year two thousand and eleven that's the last count we have to put things in perspective what bradley manning leaked is less than one percent of that the former army intelligence analyst has admitted to leaking hundreds of thousands of top secret military and diplomatic documents to the whistle blowing web site wiki leaks in february manning pleaded guilty to ten of the twenty two charges he faces the twenty five year old said he wanted the public to know how the u.s. military campaigns in iraq and afghanistan had little regard for human life it
1:12 am
should be clear day anybody paying attention to bradley manning. thought of himself at the times the whistleblower that he did what he did because he thought he was making the world a better place and that contrary to the way he's been represented by some people here in fact it really did from a place of sort of patriotism he's in no way anti-american or has never expressed anti-american sentiments in any way in fact he's always said that he is and was driven by the sort of sense of patriotism and and hope that the united states could be the this you know sort of great country that he would do with the prosecutors however are pursuing a court martial on the remaining charges including the espionage act and aiding the enemy which carries a life sentence in prison in an interview with democracy now julian a songe addressed washington's allegations that manning aided the enemy by going to wiki leaks if that president is allowed to be erected it will be interesting for
1:13 am
a slightly. it means it's a potential death penalty for any person you know attributes preaching to a journalist about a sensitive matter but secondly it also the orioles' of the journalist and the publication shereen of communication they would say to the enemy and therefore making him susceptible as well tiberius be knowledge act which also has capital offenses and that is that is the. us but latter part is part of the us attack. including ourselves broadly we hope this letter finds you healthy and strong daniel ellsberg known as the original whistleblower leaked seven thousand government documents to the press in one thousand nine hundred ninety one revealing the truth about the vietnam war more than the war decades later he says the u.s. government is going to even greater lengths to keep the public in the dark call of
1:14 am
the war on truth telling truth telling specifically about truth that the government doesn't want. truth about government crimes or law that the public needs to know and. if military prosecutors successfully prove that whistleblowing is aiding the enemy then bradley manning could spend the rest of his life in prison a verdict handed down under a president who promised to usher in an era of transparency when he stepped into the white house according to new york marine upward not r.t.d. . the mining materials was the biggest security leak in u.s. history and naturally your source of embarrassment for the u.s. government but professor marjorie cohn from the thomas jefferson school of law she thinks he should be considered a hero for what he did. if bradley manning had committed war crimes the way the
1:15 am
bush officials and lawyers did instead of revealing them then he would be a free man today george w. bush when he was president negotiated a status of forces agreement to withdraw u.s. troops by a certain date and obama tried to extend that date to keep the u.s. troops in iraq because the year rocky's had seen some of the things that bradley manning had leaked to wiki leaks including things that revealed the commission of war crimes against the iraqi people they refused to give the u.s. military troops immunity from criminal and civil prosecution if they remained in iraq past this date and so obama was forced to do withdraw the us troops from iraq so for this reason it's very important that bradley manning what he did and for that of course he should be considered to be a hero. for me this is

york magistrate judge gary brown has ruled that it's ok to track people's location via their cell phone the judge supports his decision by saying that there is no legitimate expectation of privacy in the perspective of a cellular telephone where the individual has failed to protect his privacy but taking the simple expedient action of powering it off this statement seems to hint that cell phones are some sort of a luxury and that people are just too lazy to turn off their phones when they want privacy this ignores the fact that there are many people who have to be on call twenty four seven like surgeons and service. technicians these people can't just turn off their phones so does that mean that certain professions can't have privacy also this presumption that people have no expectation of privacy what about people
