Daniel Ellsberg: In Hearing Bradley Manning Act Out of Conscience, Secret Tape Refutes Media Slander
|
12.3.2013 |
Democracy Now! |
| To discuss Bradley Manning's recorded court statement that was recently leaked to the press, we're joined by perhaps the country's most famous whistleblower, Daniel Ellsberg. Ellsberg leaked the Pentagon Papers in 1971, the secret history of the U.S. involvement in Vietnam. "What we've heard are people like The New York Times who have consistently slandered him ... that he was vague and couldn't think of specific instances that had led him to inform the American people of injustices," Ellsberg says. "The American people can now, for the first time, hear Bradley in his own words, emotionally and in the greatest specific detail, tell what it was that he felt that needed revelation."

We Are Bradley Manning

Commondreams.org Views |
I was in a military courtroom at Fort Meade in Maryland on Thursday as Pfc. Bradley Manning admitted giving classified government documents to WikiLeaks. The hundreds of thousands of leaked documents exposed U.S. war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as government misconduct. A statement that Manning made to the court was a powerful and moving treatise on the importance of placing conscience above personal safety, the necessity of sacrificing careers and liberty for the public good, and the moral imperative of carrying out acts of defiance. read more |

US Government Conflates Media Outlet Wikileaks with Cyber-Criminals and 'Hacktivists'

21.2.2013 |
CommonDreams.org Headlines |
| In what transparency advocates and defenders of free speech see as a troubling development, the Obama administration on Wednesday released a multi-agency "strategy"—designed to combat cyber-crime and foreign espionage—which makes unsettling comparisons to the work of the government and corporate whistleblower media outlet Wikileaks to criminal hacking syndicates.

White House warns of cyber threat from 'aggressive' China and Russia

The Guardian -- Front Page |
| US outlines new strategy to deal with theft of trade secrets and says pair remain 'capable collectors of sensitive information'
The Obama administration has singled out China and Russia as "aggressive" players in the world of cyber-espionage and warned that they will continue to try and steal US industrial and technological secrets.
In a report outlining plans to deal with the theft of American trade secrets that comes in the wake of revelations about Chinese hacking in the US , the White House warned that both countries would remain active in trying to illegally obtain sensitive information.
"We judge that the governments of China and Russia will remain aggressive and capable collectors of sensitive US economic information and technologies, particularly in cyberspace," the report stated.
The study was part of a broad package of policies announced on Wednesday to combat cyber threats. It comes at a time when the issue is front and center in the US after numerous revelations about ... |

Julian Assange sees freedom in Australia senate seat
(Cached)
|
18.2.2013 |
Asian Age: International |
| WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange believes winning a seat in Australia’s upper house would extricate him from his prolonged asylum inside Ecuador’s London embassy, a report said Monday.
In an interview published on Australian website. The Conversation, Assange outlined a scenario that would set him free to return to home. If he takes a senate seat in the September 14 elections, “the US Department of Justice won’t want to spark an international diplomatic row,” The Conversation paraphrased Assange as saying.
“It will drop its grand jury espionage investigation. The Cameron government will follow suit,” it added. If Britain failed to back off “the political costs of the current standoff will be higher still,” Assange said.
He added that sex crime allegations against him in Sweden were “falling apart”.
A new WikiLeaks Party is to be launched soon with a 10-member national council and field candidates for the senate. Queensland-born Assange is expected to stand in Victoria state. He has ... |

The Guardian -- World Latest |
| WikiLeaks founder says election to Australia's upper house would prompt US and Sweden to drop their cases against him
The WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has told an Australian news website that his bid to become an Australian senator will serve as a defence against potential criminal prosecution in the United States and Britain
Assange spoke to the Conversation website at the Ecuadorian embassy in London where he was granted asylum in June to avoid extradition to Sweden on sex crime allegations.
If he were to win a Senate seat at elections on 24 September, Assange told the website, the US department of justice would drop its espionage investigation rather than risk a diplomatic row. The British government would follow suit otherwise "the political costs of the current standoff will be higher still", Assange said.
Assange supporters have enrolled him to vote in the state of Victoria. Electoral enrolment is necessary to be nominated as a candidate.
Nominations for the Senate are ... |

No exception for Assange: Rape apologetics and the left

| Fallen left heroes.
Their mythology is often the hardest to defeat.
Just the other night, Bill Maher, the libertarian who, due to his willingness to confront the "sacred cows" of the right, has become a seeming icon to many on the left, conducted a live TV interview with Julian Assange, safe as he is from serious accusations of rape, secure in the Ecuadorian embassy, and with millions of uncritical supporters around the world, including Maher.
