ellsberg of aiding and abetting the enemy and not is it a fact what the obama. administration is saying about bradley manning they don't like people who leak things that are embarrassing to them and i don't think they've been proven that bradley manning did these things but you know they have. the you know the way that people are talking about him the way that he is being charged they are checking to try him in the crowd before he has a chance to have a fair trial in a courtroom and i just don't think that's you know that's un-american as far as i'm concerned i why would they eight months later add twenty two additional charges i mean to use that some kind of a sign that perhaps they're getting desperate here because before you know it was coming out that they couldn't find any type of a connection between bradley manning and join us on it and that's being reported again today that a justice department is been unable to find any connection between assad and bradley manning so they're accidently upping the ante and trying to you know accuse manning you know spend

mr ellsberg. read house republicans that's the next item on the legislative agenda that will cut our deficit put americans back to work and turn our economy around try legislation to affirm that in god we trust is the nation's official motto ability to be republican randy forbes was passed out of the house judiciary committee last week and will likely be voted on this week declaring in god we trust the official national motto and encouraging the slogan be plastered on government buildings and schools everywhere how many jobs have been created by the legislation if you plasterers zero how much of the duck will the deficit be cut by minus zero zero many people will this bill anger a lot but i guess that's the republican way told by the way in god we trust was already made the official nations motto back in one thousand nine hundred fifty six so the legislation isn't even necessary and a very very ugly george is the representative body franklin franklin previously made this list for introducing legis

legal continues to haunt the government going to get some perspective on this issue from daniel ellsberg the famous man who leaked the pentagon papers back in the one nine hundred seventy s. and then let's be honest this week has been kind of hectic so why not take a little break with today's happy hour we're going to bring you all the stories making the biggest buzz on the web with producer jenny churchill and the daily callers mike riggs details on all of this and much more on tonight's show but first our top story. now last night the u.n. security council declare a no fly zone over libya along with an arms embargo in its declaration to the united nations security council called for unless all necessary measures to stop margaret coffey brutal response to libya's rebellion in short it's a declaration of war now the effort is being described as a humanitarian mission to liberate the people of libya from a terrible tyrant tyrant and most people would probably find that off his attacks on his armed population to be repulsive but of course the same could be said and in fact was constantly s

right but we decided to turn to somebody who knows a thing or two about blowing the west so daniel ellsberg famously leaked the pentagon papers back in one nine hundred seventy one helping to bring about around the end of the vietnam war thank you so much for being here it's really an honor to have you on the show before we get to bradley manning i have to ask the question about libya knowing what you know in your experience about wars about how the u.s. government sells wars to the people how comfortable are you with this potential intervention in libya what are your thoughts on that so this is a dream you we're going to be very hard problem. that you're going to live on but i am glad that if there is any available to us and it will be this time order you will know it's this is and i think the right there for them to get the error of your belief that the others will be able to get i would certainly be very very skeptical of the u.s. and the world. there sir for all would be of such contrast to the fact that we have supported dictators what could be at recent years and for many years people

government that was spawned by mainly by watergate but also by the vietnam war you know we are daniel ellsberg was just just before here a man from from that era you could told you think about this and that is the the that's where the cynicism cynicism began and what's really creepy about it is that cynicism first chased nixon out of office then elected this sort of massive democratic wave in one nine hundred seventy four and then it sort of congealed into this you know the into the conservatism that we know it is today and then elected ronald reagan and it's just gone on from there cynicism pays massive dividends to conservatives and what's creepy about this is that it's sort of self-fulfilling so conservatives tend to deal in very bad government the government very poorly well at least not everything they don't i mean they tend to run the military very well ok to do certain things i've argued i would challenge that. it seems there are certain things where they're where they're outsourcing if you think outsourcing is a good idea they do it really really well but if the but if you will you kno

how history treats bradley manning who knows maybe decades from now be looked at as the new daniel ellsberg who these days has completely had his image rehab and is looked upon as a hero but only time will tell thanks so much for joining us thank you. the air force is super secret x. thirty seven b. orbital test india goal was set for its second launch today at cape canaveral florida but it's been delayed due to bad weather but that does not mean that there is a shortage of eyes waiting patiently to watch it takeoff the first black launch in april of last year the interests of both china and russia who are just as curious as american taxpayers should be as to what the purpose of this point pilotless spacecraft is here in the skies here with us is jeffrey mann burton marshall space entrepreneur jeffrey thanks so much for joining us from so you know tell me what you know about the x. thirty seven b. there's a lot of speculation out there could it be some kind of orbital bomber that's going to drop bombs or outer space or could it be a spy would do you know well i'm torn between being. a polic

said yes for that before i'll say it again but i don't think it's the comparison to look daniel ellsberg of the next year rosen bros war room whistleblowers they didn't give it to the new york times they gave it to the soviet union they're not whistleblowers their spies what what metta world manning is in charge of giving away is i think of such a nature it's destructive to our foreign policy just destructive to our national interests and if he did all of what he's been accused of doing not charged yet as you point out i do i do think you deserve to be executed yes he's been tried in the media just as the rosenbergs were tried in the media he's been held he's been held incommunicado charges have not yet been pressed and yet he stripped naked every night i mean he's been held in a way that would be humiliating and considered a form of torture why because they're trying to do what yes when you when you look at when you keep people so it was when you knew probably your leaving or torture when you humiliate people when you degrade people it's a form of psychological psych apps terror and jus

they made a decision to illegally breaking and to daniel ellsberg's doctor's office under the banner of national security. they made a choice, and they broke some laws to do that. those men and the white house saw this as a national security issue, and they felt they were answering what they felt at that time was a higher calling to the president of the united states, and not the laws of this nation. that situation was in 1971, and in 1972 this same group of plumber's broke into the watergate hotel, the democratic headquarters, and watergate was started. all of that fell into place, which caused the nixon presidency to come tumbling down eventually. that, on the other hand, and this is what i find fascinating about this story, as all of this was happening in 1973, as watergate had already started, richard nixon had to find a new vice president because spiro agnew had stepped down from office also because of unethical behavior. dad's name was on the list -- he had been a congressman for about 25 years from here in grand rapids, michigan. his name was put on the list with about 10 othe
