"Wikileaks is a symptom of a much larger change, an age when information can be moved into the public arena by all kinds of people," says Micah Sifry of the Personal Democracy Forum. Bradley Manning, the accused leaker of the "Collateral Murder" video aired on WikiLeaks, faces 22 new charges from the government, including "Aiding the Enemy." But which enemy is he aiding, Micah asks? Is it us?
Micah is the author of a new book from OR Books (the publisher of At The Tea Party), WikiLeaks and the Age of Transparency, and he joins Laura in studio for a conversation about the way transparency and freedom of information are changing our world, from military policy at home to revolution abroad.
Private first Class Manning’s Silence will be soon to be released if the Media can get his reasons why he did what he did. He is a Victim of Progressive Subrogation, but to believe that he created the synopsis for the middle east revolutions from his leaks, Its as if the fact that he is an enlisted member versus the fact that Officers take a different oath, to preclude such a invasion of privacy.
The term progressive victimization happens in our great Military Institution has some problems when the patriots actually get defensive in the case Private Manning made. What did Private Manning’s Chain of Command Failure have to do with his case?
