has been looking at the offense that led to a songes long fight for freedom. jr and his son has come a long way from an obscure activist to freedom fighter or traitor depending on who you are squarely one thing you can deny him though is that he led the charge that we kill leaks to dig up the secrets that america's intelligence colossus spent billions of dollars burying and he succeeded. field reports from iraq military logs from afghanistan sensitive documents from guantanamo bay none of which made the u.s. look particularly good i would argue that it's closer to being the high tech terrorist it is it i mean international community i'm not for the death penalty so if i'm not for the death i don't want to do it illegally shoot the son of a. great discredit to this nation should be assassinated he should be treated as an enemy combatant it didn't take long for a son to experience firsthand what it means to be uncle sam's public enemy the us went after the whistleblower launching a probe into his actions at the same time a seemingly unrelated sexual assault investigation was o

he's still standing we won't get that because it would it within the mainstream even if you defend a son to a point there are pragmatist you have to keep. i was following the case too and certainly the u.s. government during this case that was heard in the london court the u.s. government explicitly argued that all journalists are liable to prosecution under the espionage act for publishing classified information at the time it didn't seem to resonate to get much coverage it should have concerned a lot of journalists just wondered whether people would start to reflect now more on that and understand the implications. well gone killed my friend a great journalist letter a good list he made the point number of times that if union is extradited to the us then no journalist is safe and he theory that's correct but i'm afraid that most members of my profession know the rules they know the rules they know that no go areas and in theory yes any proper journalist who indulge in proper investigative journalism and took the lead wherever they it wherever they lead would beat its threat and the dan

author and human rights lawyer everyone thank you very much for joining us now this this ruling on a son just fate i mean he's been evading arrest for years in the ecuadorian embassy and it's been over a year since he was actually arrested i want to ask all of you maybe we could start with max blumenthal was this a surprising decision to you. it was a truly despair surprising decision because you know i expected a judge to who we knew so little about who had. ruled so often in support of the british security state to simply be a rubber stamp and what was interesting about it to me was the way that the judge's decision essentially endorsed the entire narrative of the u.s. national security state. and the 2010 cables and wiki leaks as a whole including the right of the cia to spy on assad. and at the same time they seem to find a way of saving face by deciding that a songe was indeed a suicide risk and the judge issued this studying indictment of the u.s. federal prison system a site where a son could be potentially tortured and found that mills melzer testimony in his findings or his inte

but i suspect the answer is yes is that not quite incredible again not trying to detract from the a son's case but that somebody is not sent for trial not based on whether they're perceived to be guilty or not but because of their mental health not quite a strange scenario. that that would be at least drange not terribly strange because a lot of people are not cried because their mental health is against the idea and the mental his mental health would not against the idea of him facing trial but against but because his mental health was at risk if he was treated in the way the court was persuaded he would be treated if sent to america. there's no doubt he wouldn't be treated that way in britain. is there any part of you feels that this is a little bit of a cop out by the british judge because this was such a big decision and this way the judges managed to give what the song supporters want with out actually upsetting the americans to an extent by saying actually i agree with you. that when you think about it that would be a fairly astute way of dealing with the problem if that's what the

i'm aware that everyone is concerned that the americans are appealing about there's nothing to stop a son from cross appealing a songes fundamental position is that he was acting as every journalist acts you know ever since the daniel ellsberg case in russian the pentagon papers it has been fundamental in american role that a person who merely acts as a journalist has the protection of the 1st amendment and. even if the person who leaked information to them. commits an offense it is not a criminal offense to publish that material the most notorious of the disclosures by wiki leaks was the video collateral murder which i think upsets the american to great deal that that video was released by a songe along with a lot of other material later and. we most of us would not have heard about it except that it was republished by the major news networks across the across the world now the leaders of the major news networks are not being prosecuted they're not being attacked indictive lead us i'm just being attacked. for more insight into the implications of the court's decision i spoke with a forme
