of the many candidates one of them has gone to know the cia's john kiriakou and cam dot com as legal targets take a look at the history they share. and detainees at guantanamo bay continue their hunger strike and as a stretches into day fifty six how exactly did they get and for the detainees and what exactly is doing to their health cards he will explore more about this deteriorating situation. plus three d. printers may be considered the future of manufacturing but right now it appears they've gone mainstream more on this tech development coming up. it's tuesday april second eight pm here in washington d.c. i'm liz wall and you're watching our team. begin today taking a look at what could be the next head of the f.b.i. f.b.i. director robert mueller is on his way out and throughout his twelve year tenure he transformed the organization from a crime fighting agency to a terrorism fighting agency now the obama administration is searching for someone to fill his shoes here are a few of the names that are circulating over the weekend the washington post reported that the next f.b.i. di

and he included names one of the reasons why john kiriakou is in trouble is because he gave the names of agents the right way to do it is to expose the misconduct but not necessarily give the names of the covert agents that's a violation of the intelligence identities protection act so there are ways to expose misconduct i agree with you that they're not the government doesn't always protect us and they should protect them but my point is there's a way to expose a misconduct without you know exposing names of covert operatives genie go ahead jump in i think that i think that if you go if you go back and you look at what bradley manning testified to as to what he did turn over to wiki leaks they all were justified by his concern that the american people needed to know what the what the. what was being done in iraq in their names and that. this is this is the kind of thing that in fact yesterday the court ruled that bradley manning the government has to prove that he intended to harm the united states by doing this not just that they were embarrassed and so this is this is actually a wi

robert novak and he never he never he claimed it was inadvertent i mean we have a situation john kiriakou who was told that there was a beta was was water boarded one time and then he gave a lot of information then he comes to find out it's like eighty three times and he never gave any information that was useful and he felt this was absolutely horrible and you know the disclosure of a name you know armitage said it was inadvertent i mean how are we to know that john kiriakou is now serving a sentence but frankly i think. you know depending on. it was very clear the administration wanted to make the bush administration want to make joe wilson and discredit his claim about the iraq war and or the weapons of mass destruction and. i guess scooter libby paid some price for it but the actual whistleblowers didn't really at the actual people who dealing with you would go one step further valerie plame didn't let me agree with you and you had mark i want to go through and go one step further because valerie plame was a covert operative her name was disclosed there's no doubt in my mind that vice

we should mention that was actually kim dotcom there before john kiriakou both of them say that prosecutorial over it was going on in their case as one ask us what should we know about mcbride's record and should the public be concerned that he could be the next head of the cia the thing about well he's up for possibly the next so that the f.b.i. which would put him in charge of you know the country's top domestic police force and the thing the thing about a person like mcbride who's you know currently district attorney is i don't know a lot of names of federal prosecutors i can't just write them off don't think many people can actually but when i saw his name come through in this post or it immediately raised a red flag because i knew right away he knew that this was a person who was involved in three really really serious cases here's someone who put away a cia whistleblower the only person to go to prison for the cia's torture program is a person who exposed it so that's one target of mcbride the other one kim dotcom a german citizen living in new zealand who's being prosecuted for record

attorney general in the bush administration he is also the man that prosecuted former cia official john kiriakou and internet entrepreneur cam dot com. they're both cases we've focused on here at our t.v. so we want to take a close look at the possible candidates record to discuss i'm joined by r.t. producer adrienne it was sarah and our two web producer andrew. is going to be here so let's start off with monaco those that believe in protecting whistle blowers may be weary of her why is that adriano i mean it's very interesting because back in two thousand and eleven just a couple years ago it seems that when she was in a round of senate confirmation hearings for her current post as the head of the national security division at the department of justice she all but touted to be current. approach to keeping information secret so essentially saying that. what the administration is doing now that the amount of people that they have already prosecutor under obama which is now up to seven is actually is actually a good thing actually a plus in terms of being able to clamp down on whistle blowing so t
