at salon dot com welcome to the cause report glenn greenwald great to be or thanks for having me all right glenn first you are at the center of a massive and under reported wiki leaks smear campaign tell us about it who are the players and what information has come out about their actions so far sure it centers around this group of hackers though they might contest that term that calls itself anonymous and they announced a couple of months ago that they would target any companies that in some way harmed or terminated its services with wiki leaks and there was a period in november of last year when a variety of large companies such as amazon pay pal master card and visa started succumbing to the pressure from the u.s. government to terminate all services with wiki leaks prevent them from getting paid and anonymous targeted those companies with cyber attacks denial of service attacks that slowed down their websites in some cases took them offline for a couple of hours and so this anonymous group became a serious concern for the u.s. government and there's several internet security firms

plan include planting fake documents and cyber attacks but also pinpointing journalists like glenn greenwald as targets and it turns out that this report was a proposal for bank of america who is shaking in their boots over a possible wiki leaks dump about them who then hired outside firm hunton or williams to find security firms to help them who apparently got a recommendation from the u.s. justice department on working with guns and williams it may sound really technical and confusing but one thing here seems very clear the corporations are. working to take wiki leaks out and that the government seems to be approving of it here to discuss it with me is jane hamsher of firedoglake dot com jane thanks so much for being here thank you know it's really a very complicated web and you said you've been poring through these documents they just came out two days ago but it's fifteen thousand e-mails there's so much information but do you agree with me here that there is this basic assertion that we see these security firms working with banks working with law firms you know the government seems to b

bringing down the site now one journalist in particular seems to have caught their attention glenn greenwald the salon dot com writer and blogger has continuously spoken out in support of wiki leaks son bradley manning so he's not become one of their main targets they label greenwald as a liberal bent who played a critical role in the transition of wiki leaks away from amazon where the site first accepted donations for its efforts but the response plan also says the greenwald is such a key player that if he's taken out of the picture the site would fold wow who knew that one outspoken activist journalist could be the downfall of this entire site and what exactly do they mean by taken out i think glenn has done some very fabulous reporting on these issues he'll probably take it as a compliment that they see him as such a threat but moving on they list where the current servers are located and the ip address where fresh information comes to the website and here's the part that we just find hilarious this next flight slide they have this picture this is a top secret bunker located somewhere in

i think glenn greenwald is an excellent source of information about what's really going on and what kind of legal protections should wikileaks be afforded or denied that npr and "the new york times" would get? >> i i think that is a very interesting question. i'm just -- what i'm saying is i don't think -- there again, what do we as a public need? what kind of information do we need? the same kind of legal challenges have been, you know, argued about whether, which are the people who deserve to be able to protect their sources, right? and it's very hard to define journalists in that regard. so i don't know exactly how we're going to go down that road of figuring out what kind of information sources the public needs and, therefore, which should be protected. >> but in this age it will become more and more of a question as you can hack, as you can get things available which were not meant to be seen. and so there will be more and more of that very controversial, could be inflammatory or endangering raw material out there and available. so that's something really o o think hard about. >> bu
