dear that was us two thousand and thirteen and what has made it memorable we ask in this edition of crossfire who excelled in who disappointed us what stories captured our attention because of hope to despair. i think the race is superior not even nice we didn't bend tristen for us i'm not sure if this is the right place to. explode or. just these particular people we're working with who the fuck all that noise was was do they do anything. why would they work with these chemicals why would they not work with

these mold many of them for money yes and this needs to be said they do this for the money yeah but the i am why everybody has one thing oh no not a liar it's a why did you have to do this here i am having the fans who said that i was judging . and the man you are judging no not even with yours or the ending this movie is judging that it's ok i'm just saying any should be we need to be concerned that we are not going our own places saying we are better than you are because i've had this situation and i fucked off in years to that this is what i don't like seeing this is approaching the one where if you seem out of seeing that you you go to two people you know nothing there as you start out with them there's only room we can extend then when they have or this is a strong reaction you're like strong reaction when they said they were promised the cables because they didn't know me going to the first place it was no no no your action all before you have you had a quarrel then you get a slightly different opinion then you don't get that you only get the response they

want to get as opposed to show in the audience what they will say about these things do you not think that it is an interesting question to see if media around the world will do this and who will and when i'm still working on thing one that is an interesting question if it's an interesting question no to they are too scared to pull the u.s. government document in the morning with the rest of knowing or even if they see it there are many other great tears that missoni what walk walk part of what criteria are used to of an. interest newsworthiness know now that you can write a script every news organization that has a website it has a website developer who can just go. like that and they get free hits in google it is very very it is very very profitable to publish cables because you don't have to write cable it's free stories. the point as far as i see it

is the. there are boundaries to free speech in the same way as there are boundaries to our thoughts and to our language media or. misspeak when used to speak it is basically words we are dealing with and these boundaries could look differently in different countries but they are always exist in one way or another that's color your senses or conformism or self-censorship or whatever it may be and we have a very unique opportunity to actually just show where these boundaries are doesn't necessarily mean that these boundary is better than that boundary there remain as showing where i would ask your back boundary that there is but the thing is that people usually are annoyed with people or if you're unaware of where the boundaries are the easiest way of getting a hold of them is by asking about it and it was a well i cannot write about the king kind of write about sex or whatever they are

most often they were like well i'll tell you that there are only about most of you know we say well we have no boundaries whatsoever yes and this is what you will get when you interview any journalist in the united kingdom or in brazil or in sweden or order it yet so what we have here is the tools in actually catching these boundaries if you push any identification they'll have moneys and you're going to get what are right and what i write all of them including one not at all that. just think. oh are you coming up. with discussing court. what you'll see it's all pretty. suspicious. that the guardian you got a paper that's been around nearly two hundred years. has completely solitons for

from its international paper paves the forefront of digital innovation with doing something that is almost unique in times and there's no one else that looks. very much talk. much to establish who you are talking to me or a film. which is documented. we're going to do there's the story don't you see how we roll out. there this is not just me that would do is it this is essentially your your agency. yeah so here are some big surprise off big audience we're going to. react to. the substantial. u.s. cable why did you go for example. that star shaped.

the u.s. government able to nation this week carol and the mafia lucky guy version. one last. year exceeding the more walls so why do you know what. i say other members of the got the documents upside down getting speaking again i don't know i guess i don't know i'm guess. not. the the monocles i have seen the mound of the news extensively by people called. the former soviet rule. to protect fish. on the slightest trace

looks good on them so. some of these people on board rich can send me millions on on five occasions. also when it's on their little cable bridge sit in on. the telly and if you. are ready. well worth me souls. to see i was correct. so this is a case of. now ok sure you will drop in. great britain you know what is the little good ole boy and good riddance of the company can suit. to you and we will see. how many. you did with that test just. two thousand

case that. doesn't prove it was not something that. could happen. to you easy easy and. good ten cars trying to do. that so that next one or britain is a company. we thought. they were extremely interested in. an hour ago here. on the creation of every state. i have to. pry. but why. would they go you. got. to. do. all. of it mocking them and it will come. one day remind me just in

a rough. it was the socket. floor. of a fortune so i fit both years which meant that this rough. life. was the subject of a will. overflow memory. we kind of grew pretty good in the. series where we sit and we try to explain what we were trying to claim. while we. consult. your memory that said there are no reason. for you so. among them an equal consideration. so. if your point is that couldn't. be more explicit in explaining. why we do things and. some nature in general you

know. were you first of all i. got. you actually people are going to find it is not. we haven't so it was decided that. the new york times would approach government product the mind set really we have. two sets of communication with you right and one is not the embassy in london a little. to see if you will we juggle to the right much because we need or is. a channel through to you. and the second channel was a little set up but is that up until the agency's. run rate aim was to do just go. up and you can use.

that afternoon you probably have seen either in person or on the t.v. screen that was the. state part where you feel that we just finished i won't repeat everything i said at the start they are but few of them. most significant response to what has happened is exactly what secretary clinton is doing in a stall or kazakhstan as we speak she is there working constructively on cooperation and security in a very important part of the world clearly the release of the authorized release of these documents you know. represents risk to the united states and to others with whom we collaborate. in this this is why we condemn what wiki leaks has stopped basically from kazakstan. right in through here.

most as we did your graffiti in between i realize i'm going to be you as much as i can really are there and i got up. there we. pulled the kind of. from two different countries where the police material has been have been published but they're only looking from the outside without actually having any particular knowledge about it you get the impression that all these various. prior to us institutions. have acted. from being pressured in one way or another by the u.s. government in order to block or flows of money in order that's not true that is you know in the list of three times that is that is absolutely not true. in my time in government. at no time did government tell any private company what to do.

i mean there's been rumors there's been suggestions of that and to be honest there's been no. evidence by those who question this you know it's what companies protect their own reputation it's not for the government to tell a company what it should or shouldn't do. you know it when they've taken actions because they they they see it as as in their interest to do this or that with a one hundred look at their fear the same thing were to happen to for example the new york times of the year of times where all of a sudden they're. stopped from getting funds and they're without their offices closed i can. paving a hypothetical that i can follow from harvard where they are in the exact same position as for example recordings when you're a parent decides to publish everything that they get no i mean no but that there is

a very sharp distinction here. i mean. you have two actors who are in the business of communicating with a broader public. one actor made clear the new york times and other publications we are going to report on what we have we want to do it responsibly and we want to do it in a way that. is is it respectful. of the danger that this might cause to specific individuals and the new york times voluntarily withheld certain documents and certain names because they recognized as we did that the publication of these documents of publication these days would put real life human beings at risk. berland social science center just published a study suggesting that two thirds of muslims in western europe hold their

religious roles and the laws of the countries that believe that if you read the bible if you get if you go into christianity you find the sentence that you should obey god more than caesar. means religious schools more important and. and more convincing than those of the students in the very same thing that is now referred to the muslims. they don't want to tell us how to run our fellows have accepted the fact this is our planet and that we have the right to run it but they're very very concerned that they don't think we're good stewards of our planet we're not to work out in clear cutting our forests and we're polluting our reverse and our lakes and we're dumping sewage in the oceans we're doing all sorts of things which are not what

good stewards of their old school should be doing and they don't like that and they've made a very clear as a matter of fact they have given us a warning. that

. your coach sent a very intrepid reporter down there to sleep overnight he spent thursday night in the chicago park i did live to tell about it what was it like. it was a scary place i mean zuccotti park right now is it is it's own country part of your tough queens girl right in queens you're not afraid of this stuff you want to

down there what what's what is to the most about what was going on it's just part of. what surprised me the most about what was going on there is that it's totally lawless you despise yourself would you try to look like a protester were you going undercover were you weren't advertising your posts right one on one i spoke to people i told him i was a post reporter there was no secret that he received. well. some people didn't really like that i was a poster of orders to be honest i'm very disturbed here though you write from your column from your article the threat of rape is very real here for men and women i just sleep at night i didn't say. if you were to media. had too many characters i paint canvas g.o.p. from your post thank you so much thank you you thank

. well i think that. they are so like i said once you start the interviews closed doors and don't come out. of it it's out it's general assembly at the u.n. and we have. one coming through and. it's the end of the u.n. general assembly opens this week so there's. a lot of presidents and foreign ministers and stuff and some of them trip through here to receive people here is that customary yeah yeah it's pretty typical in there in town and with some of them

invite themselves and some of them we invite to come over and meet with the. editorial writers and things. and how does it seem to work out. and rest in the pretty predictable that every once in a while one of the makes news but it's you know it's good to just give them a chance to come over and share their views that. we kind of makes you into an embassy or. they're the embassy of the new york times or a basically right. and i think you know you may have discovered this yourself or a news organizations don't always get the kind of access they would like to officials in washington and if you want to go ask the military or the white house to respond to classified information. you know. it can be difficult if you're if you're a representative for foreign news organization i don't think that's a shame but it's just it's a reality so i think they felt. we would be in

a better position to confront the administration with what we had and solicit some kind of reaction from them which which turned out to be the case and your counterpart was that mainly you p.j. crowley or some other people. over there you know this is. the. couple meetings i think they went over and had them in person and they were representatives of the state department ice assume the intelligence agencies were there i know the cia was represented. i'm not sure i just don't remember that the military was there. because at that point it was mostly nonmilitary matters. after that after the first couple of conversations they just had a daily phone call basically. they did it all you know there was none of this everybody gathered in a room it was they would say we really think you should hold back on this

particular cable and here's why and then we would discuss and decide whether to withhold it or not. and many of the countries where we've been traveling and. talking to be the editors or politicians there has been a concern that. these materials can have a destabilizing effect and that in a particular country when you consider. the consequences of not publishing them we considered it yeah we talked about it a lot i mean yemen is a good example of that because the state department's argument was this this these could be destabilizing. but i kind of think it's not our job to decide what is destabilizing and or for that matter to preserve the stability of. countries elsewhere but do you feel that you would have acted differently had the material been of such character that it would have potentially

destabilized your country rather than. you've mentioned it it's hard for me to imagine what that would be i mean if you had had an example or a few years ago yes see that wireless what weren't those wire tapping right yes i mean can you explain how you reasoned at that point in time when you didn't understand the differences that were when i did publish the first one when you didn't at first. and then i would i didn't publish them. but the concern with it wasn't whether it would destabilize our government because certainly was whether or not it would be of significant value to people who want to attack us. had it been your choice. and if you were in this own on there is of this material that you would not have published. the whole thing that. you know first of all because there are. you know. in the documents that we posted.

we redacted many names of people whose would have been put in danger. we have not. studied all the documents to know how many more people might be put in danger to just post the whole thing would be i think irresponsible. and let's say with every dime to the names of those who would have been in danger and published it on your site would that be something which would be indicted to move. probably not. but we had up we had cited how we were going to publish how we were going to have the material you know regardless of legal consequences just on journalistic grounds . you know we only wanted to publish we only wanted you need the room. yep. you need me or the rip. off. i was dense and you

hear it right but then i heard you were in here. just to hold this pledge like that oh yes it made the drudge report so i'm getting some so i'm getting a lot of traffic secret bit of traffic to support me much though but you know they got to traffic you got the kind of traffic you necessarily what because a lot of a lot of people who use the word scum bag. books it's a technical term they would think you. were talking about our favorite subject wiki leaks oh. this is arthur sulzberger was the publisher. and you. were for i'd just say you know going back to the writing life of my first. that was published this morning which is. a somewhat. half hearted defense of obama against. distant disenchanted

liberals and you know what the drudge report is trying to drudge report is a website. very conservative website. that has for the basically aggregates headlines from all over the place but with a kind of right wing commentary attached that it's got a huge fall so if matt drudge is the guy runs this web site. find something that you've written puts it on his home page with a snarky comment. it drives traffic amazingly i mean driving traffic is nice but the traffic that he drives is mostly you know. you scumbag idiot but traffic just.

google groups like you are for right just to be a muslim or. look at the bricks through. example that you see. on stuff that's got us kind of the writer. or the others is this significant a death threat he didn't let them assume that it was similar forces. are. different in that you see for the summer. months after the indifferent to them of all the seafloor to the gun. or she gets up and. the us sitting there now but we're dealing with the us now from a number. of

those little pushy wily cock to put i felt is that come into it would have been able to cut the possibly with. this disapproval good movement toward a good book it is possible to be another cuba who it is music to discuss but. in the same delirium what good things because some going to take the.

twelve months of change in. the moments which we do find the world we live in. our jeanne was there to bring you the full future clash with the police the police are. employed to close a camp that is a dark spot and there will be barricades with the bodies' i take it down on new year's eve our global team of reporters in contributors revisit the key events of
