brought wiki leaks the wiki leaks domain online that went offline during that hectic week of information. similar projects have been launched around the world including russia. most people in russia don't speak english that's why we wanted to make wiki leaks documents available to all russians online so we set about spotting reports of interest to people living in russia and countries of the commonwealth of independent states such reporters are really fed to translation websites or the people themselves translate them after receiving them via email russian pirates of launched a similar site called leaks it largely mimics what a sound has been doing it wiki leaks a few leaks have already been made public. what a lot of informers will post their reports on the internet site. we will know absolutely nothing about them we see the whole thing as a black box churning out documents from time to time with the. big question though is how are they going to send their stuff. in the summer of twenty ten a song together the circle of accredited journalists for wiki leaks these people were supposed to

all those state department documents to the wiki leaks website is a traitor and should be executed or put in prison for life. in our government or leak that information he's guilty of treason and i think anything worse than execution is too kind of in a. while perhaps the u.s. government was listening to o'reilly because the tail then started emerging about manning street while he was a quantico he was only allowed visits on a few occasions he was held in solitary confinement for twenty three hours a day checked on every five minutes where he had to answer that he was ok so one point he was stripped of his clothes and forced to sleep naked for several nights in a row and all of these conditions are qualifiers for inhumane treatment and torture that the obama administration turned a blind eye to what happens i want to go tell the president even said he was told by the pentagon that manics treatment was appropriate do you think that a former constitutional law professor would know better himself but there is only one person who dared to speak out state department spokesman p.j. crowley

now in the wake of wiki leaks one upping every news organization on the planet with a large trove of classified information they receive the major newspapers are trying to cut them out of the picture as we've told you before on this show the new york times and the guardian have been working on creating their own leaking sites and yesterday rupert murdoch owned the rupert murdoch owned wall street journal launched their own leaking website called safe house but is this going to be enough to cut out wiki leaks to inspire whistleblowers to come to their site instead it doesn't seem so if you look at the fine print in the wall street journal's terms of conditions those leakers who choose to remain anonymous must first enter into a confidentiality agreement that states that any information sent to the journal can be used in any purpose as in they hold the right to disclose any information about the leaker to law enforcement authorities without notice in order to comply with laws and safe house leakers have to agree not to use the service for any unlawful purpose so does this has destroyed

leaks cables and how guardian journalists a publicist put on wiki leaks and she ses an attack on you how would you describe following that their gods is the guardian stance on whistleblowing and media freedom in general you know they are they are publishing organizations sort of course they want as much right for them to publish it is as possible that's a natural self interest what they have it on. tape and cocaine use incredible reduction over reduction of cables is they have pushed the right of the people to know the very very edge and what they're concerned about . he's any possible attack on them but we have seen this sort of abuse. all the material that we have provided. several times and the guardian guardian is the worst offender but we saw it also brought in new york times and york times rejected a sixty two page cable down to two groups and this is completely against the agreement that we recently signed up with them on november the. well seen it but agreement was that the only redactions that should take place and how to protect people's lives should be no other. production

leaks site but it's a long going greenwald points out in his research this move to bring wiki leaks to justice definitely serves as proof that the obama administration is waging a massive war on leakers so as this grand jury in virginia attempts to determine if there's a criminal case against julian songe or anyone involved with leaking weeks we would like to take a moment to once again call out the obama administration for example legally going back on their word to be more transparent than bush obviously the u.s. government is not ok with being transparent especially when it comes to revealing what actually goes on behind closed doors attending a criminal charges on a sonder anyone linked to weekly leaks just proves the hypocrisy of this entire issue and the bigger picture the global view if you will is that what the u.s. . as an act of international terrorism is also considered worthy of a he surprised in australia so what title really fits join us on ch hero or terrorist i think but the answer is obvious. it's time for happy hour on this level evening and join me tonight is the

their guantanamo information why has wiki leaks released it now i mean it seems to sort of sort of to be to be off to the fact is it because obama has recently announced his we're election campaign and obviously closing guantanamo was one of his main election promises but was a number of reasons why we've released it now. the primary one is that we are a small organisation very committed one and last year we came into it was extraordinary attack all these things continue to go on and so they really don't on down their ability to move quickly what we think and the timing is good obama has given up on closing guantanamo i just decided to reopen the drop prices and we now have a situation where even the. ministration says that forty eight of these people. are completely innocent and they should be sent back and they're not going to forget so completely innocent people incarcerated for years and years no trial and no hope nobody will know no country route greta i was reading the fate of united states had made its problem. in nine states with an evolving rounding up these innocent people s

leaks about julian assange regardless of freedom of speech rights and so. what is it that prevents this issue from being more prominent as it war on terror or is it just not having an interest in freedom of the press what's really behind this what really happened after september eleventh two thousand and one and was the creation of a sort of state of exception we're people sort of. little bit more and a little bit more and if we kind of really fault it you know from two thousand on it to the president. you know it's got your seen worse and worse in regards to searches and people just giving away their fundamental rights i think people in general think. you know this person of interest but i think if they really solved it details that people that are being searched the type of searches that are going on maybe they will never get rid of it and do you have the sense that anything has changed under president obama who at least according to campaign promises was supposed to be the more gentle or version of u.s. foreign policy and domestic policy and then his pre
