is guilty you had the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff announce their bradley manning is guilty and that was published in stars and stripes the semiofficial publication of the u.s. military so the military all knows that the top two military officials the commander in chief and chairman georges def have already said manning is guilty how can anyone who is a career officer serve on that jury and go against the command structure in that way this is undo command influence and that is another reason for dismissal of this case and in fact this treatment prior to trial of the charge in quantico being held in solitary confinement as you mentioned for almost a full year not allowing the un's torture investigator to come talk to manning so we can find what happened there again another outrageous government on the fact this is very much like we have a case ellsberg case in the early seventies went back to four month trial and just is about to go jury the judge decided to dismiss the case for outrageous government conduct that's what's happened here as well the government's contacts

well today marks two years since bradley manning was arrested at a military base in iraq and it is full court martial one even begin until this september now in those two years the army private is accused of leaking more than seven hundred thousand documents to wiki leaks well he's been through a lot while the quantico he was subject to isolation forced to strip naked and stand for hours on end and the un special rapporteur on torture who's denied access to manning by the obama administration called this treatment cruel inhuman and degrading that manning is facing twenty two charges including aiding the enemy could spend the rest of his life in prison and let's not forget that this trial doesn't exactly seem fair his defense attorney david coolum has now filed a motion with the military court in fort meade maryland claiming that the government has failed to disclose key evidence that could be beneficial to the defense or known as brady material so let's find out more joining me from our studio in new york is kevin zeese organizer of occupy washington d.c. and co-director of its our econ

these organizations have gone back and forth from either ignoring to demonizing wiki leaks and bradley manning but they've never stood for transparency no matter what your opinion of manning or wiki leaks is we should all have access to what's going on in the court proceedings so that we can see how the justice system works but the mainstream media are not really concerned about all that here they choose to miss. well the congressional budget office gave a pretty dire warning about the economy this week and a report released on tuesday the cvo warned that the combination of budget cuts set to go into effect in january and an expiration of bush tax cuts the payroll tax extended unemployment benefits that all that would take us off the fiscal cliff and if congress lets us go off that cliff they predicted that the economy would shrink by one point three percent in the first half of two thousand and thirteen probably throwing the economy back into recession now austerity in europe has been any indication it looks like the c.b.s. has a good point over the battle over schedules sequestration to defe

or anonymous and the occupy movement that bradley manning was made an example i mean he wasn't just arrested and then everything was kept quiet and when he was made a prominent example to act as a disincentive. because of storage he needs. to give prominent examples of what happens to people who are alleged to have have dissipate authority in order to keep authority these t.v. scenes of protest is on the receiving end of violence in the weak position in relation to violence do you do you think that that is also over the longer term sitting an example a negative example. well there's a there's a couple of things in that i think the. what was happening to bradley. has been very badly treated over you know the un special rapporteur has come out finally said in terms of media representation of conflict i think it's you know without doubt the. coverage of you know what happened in the early days of new york those those were the days of the pictures that went around the globe they were it was the mainstream media they came from it was citizen major it was live stream so i think there

this week is the second anniversary, would be two years ago yesterday that bradley manning, the young. soldier in iraq, was taken into custody. he has been charged with releasing the documents, getting a hold of and releasing the documents -- millions of them -- to wikileaks from iraq, afghanistan. can you talk about the significance of this in light of what we're seeing develop with julian assange today, the wikileaks founder? >> i think it is so important to remember that would bradley manning is alleged to have done, what wikileaks did was an act of incredible mobility, bringing its immense amounts of transparency to the u.s. government and its war actions, ones that are usually shrouded in complete secrecy. in the course of doing so, there is no suggestion they're harming national security, but their callous stories of importance that they enable to be written about what the u.s. government, but other governments are doing. i think it is important to keep in mind there's a lot of support for wikileaks a couple of years ago, for bradley manning and julian assange. what the u.s. gov

is now working on flipping none other than private bradley manning the u.s.dier is facing twenty two federal charges for allegedly leaking seven hundred thousand documents and video to wiki leaks he's one of six americans obama's administration has charged with espionage if one of those cases makes it to the supreme court. and the supreme court upholds the espionage act as an act which essentially criminalizes any whistleblower anybody who exposes war crimes anybody who challenges the official narrative of the lies of the state. then that's it because that would mean that any leaker can automatically be sent to prison for life and at that point any idea of freedom of information is over we will only know what the state wants us to know it's supposed to be about protecting the national security of the united states but that is not the way the journalism industry will well view it they will view it as being something that is a message to them be careful who you talk to be careful whom you write because of what you write because you could be next and i think a n

bradley manning unfortunately. went ahead and bragged to some people that he was that he couldn't trust and got himself hung up but he's not the first young person in this world of intelligence in this world to secret government data to become very very frustrated with the crimes that he was seeing committed under the flag of the united states of america and so it's really shouldn't be a big surprise to anybody nor should it be really that astounding that with all the publicity none of us has been receiving in recent past two years that people would come forward wanting to be a part of it and that some of those people would be amongst the what approximately twelve thousand individuals in the united states or america who have access to classified databases so this really is is not is astounding i think is people think sure well actually also said that you said that the u.s. crimes crimes of the u.s. government go far beyond just killing of innocents and that once people find out. they will be very shocked i mean wha

there is a person who is in the brig waiting for a trial for treason, bradley manning, who has been a questioning individual of his sexual orientation -- actually, his gender. he is gay. he is one whose experience tells us that we have a lot to do to make the military a better place for people who are gay to serve. to me, naming a naval vessel after harvey milk can help in that way. can help to get to the point where people who are in the military who are gay are going to be able to serve as the military grapples with how to program what is about making people comfortable with sexual orientation. i actually believe, this is actually a reasonable thing to do, not knowing what he would have wanted, but knowing that we have to move the lever higher for it, in making sure that gays and lesbians can have greater acceptance in the military. i will be supporting this resolution. you know, i think it is also important that from time to time, we engage in these resolutions to discuss matters outside the purview of the board of supervisors, because they have an impact on every day san francisca
