you know just having amnesty amnesty international or a physician's work or human rights interested in the case isn't going to move the u.s. government but when others like percentage in the congress get interested and get very adamant about it then maybe. as and say there's been a huge amount of interest in the screws more over this case and warrants like the next anything from problem. well i mean i think that you have to understand that the u.s. government probably has already achieved its objectives in this case i mean they've treated him so harshly and so severely denying him his basic rights really both legally and in terms of human rights that the warning is out that be and that message is out there anybody else out there who who wants to do this was a u.s. citizen and wants to be his kind of informant on is going to be treated in a most harsh way his about his or her life will be ruined just like manning's life is going to manning will never you know i don't think in the perceivable future i don't see how he'll ever step out of prison they will keep him and they will deal with

the select committee said the the the weapon sales to libya will discharge them amnesty international i think we're stronger to say that these weapons sales were work clearly wrong and there is almost being a sort of reckless regard selling arms to what clearly was a very risky risky destination the u.k. is supposed to have very very tough rules that say where there is a clear risk that military equipment like crowd control ammunition like roy control vehicles that we've seen being used in libya to crush some inspiration where there is a clear risk that it is likely those things will happen you're not supposed to sell the sell sell weapons which is good last and says have been quickly revived but that's a bit like bolting the the stable door after the horse of course is both if you were because basically what we would say is many of these laws and says should never have been agreed in the first place it was always likely always very very likely the equipment supplied to colonel gaddafi would and could be used in the brutal crackdown of protesters as we've seen and regrettably we know

running for president in two thousand and four and i asked him to respond to the charges from amnesty international that he was a war crime a war criminal for having authorized the bombing of radio television serbia killing sixteen media workers that had nothing to do with propaganda for the regime they were makeup artists and engineers and others and and debated wesley clark on that issue the fact is that when the and this is an inconvenient truth to talk about when the united states began bombing serbia ostensibly to protect the albanian majority in the southern serbian province of kosovo what happened on the ground was that milosevic's forces escalated their killing campaign and actually engaged in in much greater than tallahassee acts of brutality against the kosovo albanians than they had been in the months leading up to the u.s. bombing the other thing that happened as a result of the u.s. going into yugoslavia in one thousand nine hundred nine and essentially putting in power. war criminals from the kosovo liberation army is that an ethnic cleansing campaign was carried out by the u.s. backe

manning has been tonight congressman dennis considered asked to see manning and was tonight amnesty international asked to see manning and they were tonight so if the military claims that this confinement is within their regulations why are they so scared to let anybody see him and this official reprimand does come directly in the wake of a controversy created by the u.s. state department's annual human rights report the document attacked a number of countries around the world for human rights violations including china and pakistan but it gave the u.s. a glowing report now upset with that report china fired back with their own calling attention to america's border laptop searches and perhaps more importantly its attitude towards weiqi leaks all professing a fundamental belief and the freedom of the internet i don't matter what you think about china pointing fingers on human rights you know that they do have a point when it comes to this now when asked about the u.n. reprimand by two reporters at a state department briefing spokesman struggled to answer their questions. well ok so if you can plot

left and people in the europeans have created this false notion that diplo is in the terms of amnesty international offensively historically offensively a gulag of our time what is nothing of the sort all it was certainly during the bush administration crimes were committed there was people that you know almost one hundred people died during interrogation they did not always get loaded again because i do not eating food there yes he was it was not good but people were sold . should there have been sixty six i mean options a gate there was a spear was even a president obama had a investigation done when he came into office the defense department issued a report two months later they did find some overall why do you think rob why would you agree with president obama that these guys should be kept in jail forever without due process a law this is a vice lisa wilkinson this is seventy eight the members and i don't know nine hundred sixty as usual pronouncements i mean they don't they don't fall under the constitution says a persons it doesn't say citizen this is a word this is this is not here with us
