how do you approach the assad dilemma? >> this is a very difficult question and i like how your report, i encourage you, you did a good job to weigh out the six policy options. and your second policy option which is what the current administration is focusing on will stabilizing areas that are under our orbit. i think it is one of the feasible things. adding to that is a maximum pressure campaign and i know the administration is working towards. i think that is an important thing to task on. and that is policy op shun number two. is unethical to go back and treat the assad regime as though it never happened. besides it being moral and ethical, it won't meet the interests that all three of us have laid out, the u.s. critical interests in terms of preventing he rise of extremism and i wanted to start of by going -- giving you an overview, if we were to free syria today what it would look like. so you have -- and i wrote this before. the g.d.p. has shrunk by 4/5's. the public revenues has gone .rom 23% to 3% of the country's

it's impossible to promote the -- to go back entry the assad regime -- and treat the assad regime as though the past eight years did not happen. it absolutely won't even meet the interests that all three of us have laid out, in terms of having a stable region, extremism the rise of , preventing potentially another uprising from happening. i wanted to start off by giving you an overview. if we were to leave everything, if we were to free syria today, what it would look like if we were to walk or and leave it as is. i wrote this in a piece that i published recently. the gdp has shock but for fits /5 of what it was in 2010. the little rock has depreciated -- the lira has appreciated by 459 -- depreciated by 459%. the damage is estimated to be 400 billion. we are talking about homes people cannot return to. serious business community had largely -- all of the current construction efforts we have seen, these lavish, disney world type buildings and high-rises and entertainment projects, you have a bedroom that costs half $1 million, something completely out of reach for the average syrian,

and that assad seems to have won on the ground. i'd like to ask you to start us off, what is your perspective and what is the u.s. interest in syria and what is the way forward. >> i would sigh three things, the ct element. whether you're talking about isis or other jihadists. the second is the possibility of rival in the syrian conflict. even if you don't care about syria, if syria is not an interest is not seen as an interest or threat, i think if you're interested in iraq and syria, it's related to that, especially the eastern part of syria, which is about 1/3 of syria or more. now we just heard isis just release a statement, a video showing al baghdadi for the first time since he declared the califate in 2014. he looks very healthy fp despite the report in recently over the past two years, saying and concluding from defectors and people captured by the iraqis, who said he was ailing, he's sick, slim, it wasn't like what he appeared -- how he appeared in 2014. i think he looks exactly like he appeared in 2014, except he grew a l

not hack in order to acquire that now in addition to being accused of being a russian asset julian assad has been referred to as being an enemy by a number of u.s. officials the united states do something to stop mr sausage we're looking into that right now he should be treated as an enemy combatant which he really should be closed down permanently indecisively this guy is a traitor a treasonous and he has broken every law the united states the guy ought to be and i'm not for the death penalty so if i'm not for the death penalty want to do it illegally shoot the son of a this is a man of this combo young anything i'm aware of ignorance or misplaced idealism is no longer an acceptable excuse for lionizing these demons at this point julia songes not any more in the ecuadorian embassy and london at this point he has been turned over to u.k. officials he is in their custody now the question remains will he be extradited to the united states many observers speculate that if you come to see ited states he could be facing a lot more than simply this conspiracy of computer intrusion charge that.

officials who have referred to julian assad as an enemy of the united states let's review what they've said. the united states do something to stop mr sausage we're looking into that right now and he should be treated as an enemy combatant which should be closed down permanently and decisively this guy is a traitor a treasonous and he has broken every law the united states the guy ought to be and i'm not for the death penalty so if i'm not for the death penalty want to do it illegally shoot the son of a this is a man of this comb beyond anything i am aware own ignorance or misplaced idealism is no longer an acceptable excuse for lionizing these demons now at this point we have julian assange in the hands of u.k. officials but it remains to be seen whether or not he'll be extradited to the united states now many observers say that if he comes the united states he may be facing a lot more than simply this this conspiracy to commit computer intrusion charge this possible five year sentence that that there could be a lot more waiting for him in the united states once he's in the hands of u

ago in polly's report we heard from wiki leaks that it's kristinn hrafnsson and jennifer robinson assad his lawyer will also talk to them about the wider implications of a songes arrest and what to expect in the days ahead. it might possibly have a chilling effect on jewelers all over the world if they have to freeze the possibility of being persecuted thrown into a prison plane to be flown to be. put on trial in a country in the early states the. way. we view overeats that. involved in this. proposed to us so this is a threat to journalism journalists the freedom of the media world what is happening now always is what we expected to happen we will take on the fight and fight for victory and we will help him out while we were prepared after the lake that we were safe last week from the ecuador high of high up official in the ecuadorian government last week there was an agreement between the u.k. in ecuador around his arrest as we've been predicting ecuador has revoked his asylum and the u.k. have arrested him on a u.s. extradition request he's holding up incredibly well given the circum

two thousand and twelve charge of failing to surrender to the court and right on cue proving that assad and his supporters were not conspiracy theorists or just being paranoid these last seven years the united states justice department unsealed their charges against the wiki leaks founder announcing that a songe was arrested by u.k. authorities so that he could be extradited to the united states to face a federal charge of conspiracy to commit computer intrusion for agreeing to break. password to a classified u.s. government computer the charges you see stem from massages roll and whistleblower chelsea manning's massive leak of thousands upon thousands of iraq and afghanistan war reports along with over two hundred thousand state department cables in response to the arrest whistleblower edward snowden tweeted. critics may cheer but this is a dark moment for press freedom. i couldn't agree more with mr snowden and i'd like to add that as a taxpaying citizen of the united states i am deeply ashamed of my government's actions against mr assad who like him or not is ultimately practicing th

it's important to note that essentially you know assad there is an effort to extradite him now from the u.s. department of justice we have a statement from the eastern district of virginia where they are essentially calling for for the extradition of julian assange for on charges of conspiracy to commit computer intrusion the indictment alleges that a songe coordinated with chelsea manning and together they tried to crack a password in order to get a defense department information that was classified which wiki leaks eventually published chelsea manning is in the hands of u.s. officials at this time being held and it's important to review what this information that chelsea manning was able to provide to wiki leaks actually contained let's review some of that information. i'm. not a doctor but if you're going to. does the n.s.a. collect any data the millions of new sort of. wiki leaks walks like a hostile intelligence or talks like a hot potato serve. at this point it's important to note that a number of u.s. intelligence officials have declared that wiki leaks is a basically they referr

is the standoff began in twenty ten when assad was accused of rape and molestation by two women after a conference in sweden that same year his wiki leaks website a whistleblowing platform became a household name after it circulated footage of an american air strike in baghdad the attack killed two journalists the video appeared to show troops firing an unarmed man and washington was investigating the leaks when sweden issued an arrest warrant for the alleged sex crimes a songe surrendered to police in london and was granted bail. the following year a british court ruled he should be extradited to sweden but a songe feared this would be used as a pretext to extradite him to the us. i have not been charged with any crime in any country. despite the european arrest for its third restrictive that it prevents u.k. courts from considering the facts of a case in two thousand and twelve he applied for and was granted political asylum at the ecuadorian embassy in london on human rights grounds. i think president correia for the carriage is showing in considering ending granting political asyl

point where the astronomy of mr assad regime is unsustainable are no longer viable really kind of boils down to two different issues but it sort of came together over the past eighteen months one is that the ecuadorian authorities didn't like the fact that they said julian assange two is interfering in the international affairs in the affairs of other countries through his online activities through his activities as editor of wiki leaks but also there was this kind of domestic dispute bubbling beneath the surface as well last year julian assange was given a list of conditions that he needed to add here to you know if he wanted to stay on the good side of his the ecuadorian hosts he was told they needed to tidy up after himself clean his policy and pay for his own food to pay for his own one tree cleanup after his talents which they threaten term leave and subsequently did this will ation ship really break down and that's what led to the culmination of this situation at this boiling point this morning when the ecuadorian authorities allowed the met police to walk in and arrest julian ass

there have been a number of voices that have spoken up against the possible extradition of julian assad is warning about the impact it could have on civil liberties now among those voices was a congresswoman from a hole why a name is tossing gabbert and in addition to being a congresswoman she is also a presidential contender in twenty twenty she spoke up saying that the possible chill effect and impact on american civil liberties from this case would not be small this is a threat to journalists but it's also something that threatens every american because the message that we're getting that the american people are getting by what's happened here today is you know be quiet toed the line otherwise there will be consequences now the american civil liberties union is one of the oldest civil rights and civic freedom organizations in the united states has taken many cases to the u.s. supreme court it has represented journalists as well as activists and others who are trying to expand the level of freedom of speech and freedom of the press they have also spoken up regarding the wiki leaks cas

it would mean that one day assad could appear before a tribunal. the russians use their veto. for those who support bashar assad cesar's photos did not prove that these crimes were committed by the baathist regime. which. suggest if you don't slow enough. you have the community fully didn't see any bullshit this is. good news i may be a fair play beloved but if you went to the old misc group or do you foresee wisco board day for the year. but you do and i forgot to say. that. you have clearly. another shot i am a sore neck and for you know and the words we make them and you will get on the whole feet will. be muscly that are danny and measure me and the most willing to you know how to hold up. your own will come and they will you know what i look like across the u.s. into connecticut and i've been with them i don't how many of those them up and they know that the my book. the international community has been powerless since the start of the conflict in syria in june twenty fourth teen the islamic state in iraq and the levant isis announced the creation of an islamic caliphate

officials have referred to julian assad as an enemy or the enemy let's review what u.s. officials have said about the founder of wiki leaks. the united states do something to stop mr sausage we're looking into that right now he should be treated as an enemy combatant we should be closed down permanently indecisively this guy is a traitor a treasonous and he has broken every law the united states the guy ought to be and i'm not for the death penalty so if i'm not for the death penalty want to do it illegally shoot the son of a this is a man of this comb beyond anything i am aware on ignorance or misplaced idealism is no longer an acceptable excuse for lionizing these demons. and now at this point we have julian a songe in the hands of the u.k. officials and we have the u.s. attorney general's office the u.s. department of justice seeking his extradition to the united states on charges of conspiracy to commit computer intrusion and the person he is alleged to have conspired with chelsea manning remains in the hands of u.s. officials as well so all eyes are on britain at th

spoke to the former president of ecuador who granted assad's asylum. thinks the country's current leadership is out for revenge. yes you know maybe. i think marino deserves the title of the greatest traitor of history there he could compete with judas the state of ecuador cordons with international law and guided by his own national pride was simply obliged to protect the person to whom it is granted asylum and instead they simply gave him up and allowed the british police to enter our embassy just imagine for a moment if it was the ecuadorian police entering the us embassy at the head it was a decision made by him or a no no he wants revenge for having been accused of corruption or because wiki leaks released documents proving it not to mention other evidence like correspondence bills etc all now online so marina is taking revenge on a sandwich and i think the consequences will be even harder because although i don't want to look ahead to the possibility that the u.k. will not extradite julian assange to the united states it is very unlikely. the unit

bashar al assad's crimes were being pushed into the background. this happened in spite of the thousands of civilians who were killed by his forces in july twenty fourth two months after the russian veto the syrian opposition attempted to resurrect caesar still seeing. this time they went to the u.s. congress which opposed the military intervention in syria even after the chemical attacks and. a group of republican supported us intervention. evan mcmullan a member of the commission of foreign affairs arranged for caesar the photographer to be interviewed in front of members of congress. we knew that most people in the united states didn't know of us its mass atrocities and the idea was that if americans understood more what exactly atsic was doing if they really understood they would have much more sympathy and they would expect i believe our leaders to do more and especially the president who is our commander in chief and who leads our foreign policy to do more to act to stop assad's. trustees. caesar was in hiding afraid of being captured by the

officials have repeatedly called for assad to be prosecuted for publishing classified material including intelligence and military files but assad has supporters say he is doing crucial work and must be protected. the mother of the feel of it it's not possible to mistreat someone this way just because he revealed by their village and powerful people and as a publisher he has revealed all kinds of human rights violations war crimes are misinformation needs to get out united states says that they're defending democracy around the world and they're not just bending democracy at all in the united states is is. trying to silence people the good of them are revealing what's happening and julian the signage is just that the person who made it possible for those people to be heard much has changed in ecuador since i was granted asylum almost seven years ago including relations with washington artie's it would be trying to go comments. thank you for the gracious welcome you have shown to be my wife sharon on our very first visit to ecuador we are huge and they should treat you nice. and what a be

really it's wrong because the french media the french journalist should have defended assad from the beginning but they don't do it because in don't remember that we was ashamed because we stopped the plane the president plane because we were sinking that is going to take your to take assad with him saw again there is as you say in some countries supposed to follow this. not only for britain but as well for france not doing anything to try to protect which is to push to be the ground of. their values but they don't live up to their own values at the same time here alex it's you're a lawyer it seems to me that video jay is there just rather jazzing how to create a legal strategy again it is this is a hostile prosecution it is not based on facts that we know i mean talk about transparency that is that synonymous with the we keep leaks transparency i don't see the same kind of transparency from the prosecution go ahead what they did exactly and one of the things that absolutely astonished me is that you see so many journalists around the world cheering this prosecution on because at the

looking at mr assad health pearson's you know and he's frail you know any. of us already landed on soil so i don't want to torture. will you and the rest of his team be pushing the argument that he's already you know defacto been imprisoned for more than the maximum five years he could possibly face for the charges against him. the u.n. . human arming group arbitrary detention oh i don't actually have to go on which are the opinion that mr solomon in effect in order to really change ecuador and this. you know why one key point here is you know with the u.s. government. traditionary actually acknowledge that it's already spent seven years it's hard to change and you know taking that into account. you know if you instructed us. which is more than the five years you know that it's you turks are. now back in two thousand and fifteen julian songe was asked a question about whether he would trade places with edward snowden he said he would quite clearly do you think he would have been in a better position now if he had asked russia for asylum. i mean the two choic

extradition plans have nothing to do with the strain they were supporters of assad have had protests in sydney with the australian journalists union voicing its strong support for him assad is currently being held in custody in london but he is wanted in the u.s. on charges of revealing classified information his future has ignited a fierce debate after he was arrested at the ecuadorian embassy in london where he had taken refuge in two thousand and twelve police strong armed a song out of the ecuadorian embassy in london handcuffed and protesting the bearded wiki leaks founder resisted leaving his refuge of almost seven years the arrest comes one day after wiki leaks accused the ecuadorian government of spying on a song secretly filming his meetings with lawyers and a doctor inside the embassy. ecuador had clearly had enough of the controversial guest in london accusing him of interfering in its foreign policies and violating the rules of asylum. it will be in the bottom a lot and in the next few hours the government will reveal some details of which the world is not yet aware that

various mandarins on capitol hill about years to gestate hatred or want for revenge against putin assad they say he's really wanted for hacking a computer what do you really think your face. i think that's basically the upfront charge that doesn't carry any death penalty or anything so that people could easily agree to it and then extradite him to the united states once he gets here they can add any number of charges in secret or in public against him the the point is that they have if they're talking about and saying they have classified information collected by n.s.a. or cia then they can keep that out of sight of the public and even the defense lawyers and handle it with the judge in secret and convict him in secret that way so i mean that's one of the ways to do it the other ways does it add more charges on once he gets here. whatever the appetite for bits are eventually it's going to be extremely scrutinized in the public arena as it would really go that fall within . i don't i wouldn't put anything past them this is the shadow government the secret government involved and they're
