allegedly between bradley manning and other people specifically there is one that they say links him directly with julian assange they have another one where they have him talking to adrian lamo in the tories hacker who is the story goes was kind of like the guy that bloom and again you know if these things do exist if they are authentic yes they can link manning to wiki leaks directly or indirectly but that's brings up a really interesting point though what what the court is saying is that if manning was to give something to wiki leaks that's enough that's a demand of using that's eight hundred thirty exactly that that's scary right because in that sense and i know the defense has been arguing this that any soldier right that speaking to the press whatever that is written in the media that says that they're aiding enemy because this article could appear online we don't think that this is dangerous for everyone i don't want to see journey like this while going outside and dropping off a leaflet on a coffee table. somewhere or you know walking over and publishing something in a ne

said on camera he thought that bradley manning this field to me so bradley manning is never going to get a fair trial under normal circumstances in the united states is this is the. and so i think it is extremely important that people who can make can so so where all of. his situation and what he stands accused but still a lot of people do consider and call manning a traitor that he threatened national security in the states why does your group think that he deserves the nobel peace prize. well by giving people access to information that indeed to get nearly the true horror of war we've killed. he's what he stands accused of has contributed to. more discussions about the importance of access to the information that should rightly remain in the public domain and it's speeded up the process of the. pull out of the morning iraq and hopefully it will have some impact in afghanistan i know i am actually serving on the nato parliamentary assembly and. i have cause to very much for that the assemblies and of the police there would create a report based on the afghan war logs and to my great

but a hearing in the case of bradley manning the child u.s. soldier accused of leaking vast amounts of data to wiki leaks begins today twenty four year old jailed now for two years faces a serious charge of aiding the enemy which if proven could see him on death row all but young daughter who's campaigning to have manning nominated for the nobel peace prize says his trial will be used to scare would be whistleblowers. i think it's obvious that the government is trying to may skew tack the case on bradley manning to scare people from. lonely so and it was the only fitting since we were only supposed to scare people off but what is actually. it's have the impact there is no more discussion about it was a globe and the importance that was blowing all over the world and as the world is becoming more and more strength in secrecy we're option thrives when it is

pre-trial hearings are underway for bradley manning the jailed u.s. soldier accused of releasing information to wiki leaks his lawyer claims manning was tortured and treated worse than the terrorists during nearly two years in solitary confinement he faces twenty two charges including aiding the enemy which carries a death sentence my colleague kevin owen discuss the case with iraq war veteran michael christian our. the charges should be thrown out because bradley manning has been tortured and abused the u.n. repertoire and torture has come out and said that this was torture and abuse is being blocked from visiting him so the fair trial is absolutely not happening for bradley manning i think that you could say if you committed a terrorist attack you might get a fair trial and what bradley manning is experiencing right now in this trial is very much focusing all the attention on him self but isn't there a danger this neglect to the bigger picture of course the very crimes that his legs expose themselves. oh absolutely you know this whole idea of eating

manning's case now with chase murder civil rights attorney journalist and the book the passion of bradley manning chase hi there thanks for taking the time to be with us the u.s. media's put forth all sorts of different motives for why manning allegedly leaked this trove of documents one of his sexual orientation why are the u.s. press linking the two. well there seems to be real difficulty in facing mannix plainly stated motive for these leaks namely that he wanted people to see the truth because with out information you can make well informed decisions as a nation those are his words instead all kinds of motives are attributed to him because he's gay which is ridiculous given that they're easily tens of thousands of gays and lesbians in the us military who are not doing things like this because he's crazy which is often how whistleblowers and political dissidents are treated no matter what the merits of their cause. brought it mounting as much as the hatred for doing what he's eventually done a real villain to others because surely there are always circumstances when states need to keep secrets

i'll tell you why bradley manning is, in fact an american hero.s go time. [ ♪ music ♪ ] >> cenk: now mitt romney is in a world of hurt. president obama's team has hit him on outsourcing, they have hit him on shutting down plants. they've hit him on lying on federal forbes. they've hit him on not releaseing his tax return. mitt romney is responding and saying okay, okay, i'm telling you, i left bain in '99, but did you? our crack staff here at "the young turks" has in fact mitt romney has said to the contrary even on the campaign. listen to what he says here. >> romney: i worked at one company for 25 years and i left that to go off and help save the olympic games. >> cenk: that's interesting. that's in his campaign. 25 years. we know that he started at bain in 1977. add 25 years it turns out that even mitt romney says he was there until 2002. not 1999. that would mean that he was lying on his federal forms. and that by the way is a felony. how in the world are they going to explain that? they send out their spokesperson spokesperson, ed gillespie,

army is actually investigating the bradley manning support network which is a national international group that advocates to help out manning said twenty four year old private first class was accused of leaking documents to wiki leaks eight hundred days behind bars almost still no trial and do a lot of people in this group the bradley manning support network i mean we're talking about like journalist journalist honestly little civilian people who you know pay pal five dollars just to go to his defense fund yes pretty much anyone you know thousands of people who are just you know trying to encourage real transparency in the united states it's no big deal so they're under investigation by the u.s. army and they won't say a what they're investigating or for how long it will be investigating or when it will and but if you go to our two dot com slash usa you can see the file there go through the stories read more about manning aren't all that ok all right artie producer and her blank thanks so much. well here in our city we talk quite often about the drawbacks of drones how many of them ar

about something they found out which is the army admitted that they have been investigating the bradley manning support network there's a lot of people that come on our show that are all members of this bradley right manning support network but that's kind of that's that's all they said about it they did they just said yes we've been investigating that but nothing more so what's your take on that. well again it's very troubling any time civilian or non government employees investigated under espionage act charges for what is essentially disseminating information in the public interest again nobody in this country has ever been charged under the espionage act statute for something like this no newspaper ever has and no private citizen and whether it's the new york times with extra bradley manning supporters it just shouldn't be the case because not only is it against the first amendment but it goes against pretty much you know decades and decades worth of case law and yet you know once again i mean there it's not even that those that are part that are members of the bradley manning support netwo

and this was leaked allegedly leaked by bradley manning to wiki leaks and of course we had shown this video time and time again exposing what you know what has happened there and the only reason why we have this video is because it was leaked to the media now i mean in the wake of this i mean if the news outlets play video like this exposing something that really did go on i mean could we be legally liable sure i don't know bring it bring it bring come on i don't know i don't know if you want i don't know ok i'm putting myself out there but if you're watching the right now which i am staring directly into the camera looking at it if you're watching that footage it's not just civilian so the government wants to prosecute journalists for showing things like this but this video is the u.s. government killing a journalist there's a reuters photographer right there. shot the f. up funny and i know it's not funny it's terrible it's terrible and it's people like that that's what they want to do you know when i was growing up and when i was in college i wanted to do something with news so tha

well pretrial hearings are underway for bradley manning he is the jailed u.s. soldier accused of releasing information to wiki leaks his lawyer claims manning was tortured and treated worse than a terrorist during nearly two years in solitary confinement he faces twenty two charges including aiding the enemy which carries a death sentence chase matter who wrote the book the passion of a bradley manning says washington stands somewhat hypocritical. they want to make a big example of him i think it's an artificial crisis. all each new wave of leaks has been greeted with hysteria and sky is falling rhetoric of armageddon and none of these dire predictions have come to come to pass or anything remotely like it frankly we need to know what our government is doing there's nothing very radical about that said to me it's used to be a central part of the american political discourse that you should know what your government is doing the obama administration did promise to be the whistleblowers best friend and instead they have prosecuted more whistleblowers than all prev

bradley manning support network and then also legal research into stuff so they want to go after him for the go after the first and fourth amendment but. it's something that's going to keep progressing and luckily there's been cases where they're starting to at least listen to people that are filing these complaints one thing it is actually of relevance is the proposal that was passed in two thousand and nine that allows them to search anything without suspicion that is being up for review in august so it's been three years now next month lawmakers going to go back over it decide is this stand do you know is this work you know what do you think about this you know that sense that was passed between two thousand and two thousand and ten something like six thousand five hundred people actually had their devices scanned reviewed by d h s while crossing over so if enough people make an outrage and actually complain some things might change but the d h s is a very very adamant about how this is all just for the sake of security and i do want to take a man we don't have too much time left

and a five day hearing starts in the case of alleged whistle blowing soldiers bradley manning his lawyers accuse prosecutors of treating him worse than a convicted terrorist. next drafting a plan for struggling countries on how to quit the euro was a leading british business chief tells r t why he thinks they should go. today i'm talking to lord simon wolfson who is a multi-millionaire and chief executive of the next fashion chain he's also just sponsored a prize for the person who comes up with a nice disruptive way for a country to exit the euro is a lot simon wilson thanks for talking to us today now why did you decide to sponsor this prize i suppose the prize because there was an enormous intellectual vacuum nine months ago people were not talking about this the euro was designed with all lines of retreat cut off and it looks increasingly unstable and the one thing you can be sure of is if it does break up we need a plan. and i think what this prize has done is it's taken a subject that was to prove it was a forbidden subject and it is now bought into mainstream debate moving that it'

katie soon with the business for now though it is the second day of the pretrial hearing for bradley manning of course the u.s. soldier accused of releasing u.s. intelligence documents to wiki leaks his lawyer says manning has been tortured over the two years he's been in solitary confinement the most serious charge you faces is that of aiding the enemy that carries a death sentence with it. author of the passion of bradley manning says washington's reaction to the leaks over blocker. they want to make a big example of him i think it's an artificial crisis. each new wave of leaks has been greeted with hysteria and sky is falling rhetoric of armageddon and none of these dire predictions have come to come to pass or anything remotely like it frankly we need to know what our government is doing there's nothing very radical about that sentiment it's used to be a central part of the american political discourse you should know what your government is doing the obama administration did promise to be the whistleblowers best friend and instead they have prosecuted more whistleblowers than all previo

hearing the case of bradley manning jailed u.s. soldier accused of leaking vast amounts of data to wiki leaks begins today the twenty four year old who's been in jail now for two years already faces the serious charge of aiding the enemy which if proven could see him on death row but get to your daughter who's campaigning to have manning nominated for the nobel peace price says his trial will be used to scare would be whistleblowers. i think it's obvious that the government is trying to make scare tactics case on bradley manning to scare people from lonely song and the black donnellys getting says well it's because people are but what is actually. it's have they reversed the impact there is no more discussion about it was a glorious and the importance that was blowing all over the world and as the world is becoming more and more strained in secrecy the option thrives. when it is actually what it was a blowing into the heart of life in a world and i think this extremely important and. this is our take still to come in the program mo

well pretrial hearings in bradley manning's case are continuing for me this week throughout the next five days opposing sides will wrangle over manning's september trial and lawyers for the alleged week of the source are now pushing to narrow the definition of aiding the enemy charges they're saying that manny manning can only be found guilty if he quote knowingly and intentionally gave intelligence to the enemy defense later david lawyer david coolness called this change charge excuse me president and he said it's the first time that the military is accusing someone of using a third party to aid the enemy and i don't forget what the government is arguing here it's that because manning knew that the materials would appear on the internet then he was aiding the enemy because al qaeda has access to the internet so yeah i would agree with coombs in saying that it's very broad and unprecedented and a separate motion who will also ask the court to dismiss to charges that manning exceeded authorized access of his computer meanwhile prosecutors have asked the court for forty five to sixty da

not yes certainly as we've been paying close attention to some of these pretrial hearings for bradley manning that seems to be one thing the prosecutors either are having a hard time come up coming up with or unwilling to release even though a judge now that they have to which is some of that information on exactly what kind of security threats have been have happened as a result of some of these wiki leaks cables let me switch gears for a second term i mean the u.s. and australia of course close friends and allies but there seems to be a whole lot of disagreement in you know some of the messages getting out there i want to play something senator bob carr australian foreign minister said just a few weeks ago. if the americans want to do extradite him why haven't they it's regarded him from the united kingdom they have an expedition treaty with the united with the united kingdom and according to one one lawyer it would be easier for them to do it from the u.k. then from sweden all right so this is a few weeks ago but you know senator carr as recently as yesterday is still trying to make the ca

they get about julian assange they would want more transparency in the core proceedings for bradley manning's trial and they would think that the massive overclassification of our system is worthy of hours and hours of discussion they would think that is to kill it so the obama campaign has veto power over quotes that are given to reporters now i could actually just keep going for days with more stories and examples but i think that you're getting. the point the mainstream media does not care at all about transparency do all think that it's great they're devoting a little bit of time to calling out mitt romney over his tax returns i would love to see them tackle any of the stories and issues that i just mentioned but they won't because a push for actual transparency well that's something that the mainstream media chooses to miss. so let's talk about the lawsuit that's been filed by the a.c.l.u. and the center for constitutional rights on behalf of nasra locky and the family of samir khan announcer a lockie is the father of a lockie who was killed by a u.s. drone strike in yemen on september t

they said that they don't need a suspicion do this two thousand and ten mr david house of the bradley manning support network he was flying back from mexico and he was stopped by the t.s.a. they let him go crofton spoke with v.h.s. on the part of homeland security said hold on a second we would ask you some questions they didn't ask him anything about terrorism or blowing up bombs in buildings and stuff like that they wanted to know about the bradley manning support network and they want to know about wiki leaks nothing to do with you know what you would expect would endanger an entire airplane full of people they took him and they took his phone they took his u.s.b. drives they went through his computer they did all that and they did not need to have any suspicion if you're going into a port of entry from an international crossing they can do that all right and i mean especially in the wake of all these incidents with the p.s.a. i mean that guy that basically stripped down live you know to show its freedom of speech and fight against which was what is what or not the terrorism law has i gues

accused of leaking secrets to wiki leak autos the chief declaring bradley manning guilty. he hasn't gone to trial yet. it's unfair. and there are not everyone else is here to protest a visit. and there is deborah here to say they're here to shout for the president. >> i just wanted to show my support. and i believe in him. we still have a chance. and i want him to have that second chance. >> and we started to see the mood shifting a bit. we're going to tell you we'll keep an eye out for anything that may develop later in the evening. >> thank you. >> and the president's motorcade cruised into piedmont a short time ago. and there is a 60 donors there paid $38,000 a piece to pete him. police are keeping both the public and news crews several block as way from the home where this is taking place. >> there is a president began a fund raising sweep with an event near lake merit today. one man's office was surprised to find out that his office is in an area sealed off into afternoon. >> there is on the way back. >> and he's wondering. i think he's going to take a look for himsel

also speaking whistleblowers of course the court martial proceedings for private first class bradley manning resume today i guess i'm wondering you know he is of course for people that don't know i think most people who watch us know that he is accused of leaking classified information to the web site wiki leaks but how are you feeling about the way these proceedings are going i mean are you optimistic at all that manning and his lawyer are making any headway here i have confidence in manning's lawyers but i'm not optimistic about the outcome i'd like to see more outrage from people about what happened here and what is being done to this twenty four year old that could put him away for the rest of his life because as he said at legibly said in his own words i felt like i was watching war crimes. and the proceedings themselves again but the court has refused to release any kind of transcript so one time to move the detainees have more transparency in the proceedings in the kangaroo commission military commissions we have set up down there and then private manning is getting even his lawyer wr

custody facing the same charges that a private bradley manning who after nearly eight hundred days of sitting in military prison is finally having a pretrial hearing at fort meade but for now everything rests on ecuador's shoulders president rafael correa atta and his administration has said little about if and when asylum would be granted ecuador's foreign ministry says lawyers are studying the political and legal implications of this high profile case before making a decision may not when it comes to the fate of joining us songe patients is more than a virtue it's all we have as a global community when we await this decision. paranoia and might not sound like the name of a trusted source for government leaks otherwise known as a potentially alarming research anonymous intelligence agency paranoias in the new web face of anonymous with a look wiki leaks slowing down in the lack of impact from anonymous hacks and members of the lose hacktivist collective decided to launch a wiki leaks esque web site to host massive data leaks and a user friendly fashion so what will this mean for wiki

the hearing in the case of bradley manning the jail to u.s. soldier accused of leaking vast amounts of data to wiki leaks begins today the twenty four year old who's been in jail now for two years faces the serious charge of aiding the enemy which is pro from could see him on death row brigade to young his daughter is campaigning to have manning nominated for the nobel peace price as his trial will be used to scare would be whistle blows. i think it's obvious that the government is trying to make the scare tactics case on bradley manning to scare people from the only song and the fact only kidding says well is supposed to scare people off but what is actually. it's have the reversed impact there is no more discussion about it was of lowers and the importance that was blowing all over the world and as the world is becoming more and more strained it in secrecy will have cause for action thrives. but it is actually what was a blowing into the positive light in a world that this extremely important to this ten minutes. more oil has been poured on
