I know some of you here think that Glenn Greenwald doesn't have credibily and that Julian Assange and Bradley Manning are "Traitors" to America.
But, I would hope you would listen to this discussion from Democracy Now and how Glenn lays out his position that even Nixon's Attorney, John Mitchell..didn't go as far as our Dems are going in attacking Bradley Manning and now the new move by Obama Administration to tie Manning and Assange together to incarcerate both of them... Meaning that they would both get Gitmo Type Military Trials and not Civil Trials.
Both Manning and Assange, btw are Dual Citizens and NOT US CITIZENS.
Anyway, if those here have an "open mind" willing to listen to other viewpoints...this is an excellent watch.
There is a Transcript there for those who are hearing impared or who prefer to read rather than watch.
I thought both give a clear view as to what Constitutional Lawyer Glenn Greenwald is working on...despite those who try to pre-judge him..(calling him Libertarian, Rightist, Snake and Infiltrator into the Democratic Party).
Listen or Read and open your mind as to what he is saying. He is a Constitutional Lawyer who Practiced his profession ...up against a Constitutional Lawyer who took the Political Road to where he wanted to go.
His view is clearly laid out here... And, I don't hear "Libertarian or Right Wing" in anything he lays out...I hear a Citizen Lawyer laying out his case for Manning and by default Assange and a Lawyer trying to "Protect" the US Constitution/Bill of Rights" and not someone trying to subvert it like the Repugs and Blue Dogs who do not have Democratic American interests at their heart...but belong to the Corporate Class viewpoint.
This is an interesting view no matter where you are on the spectrum of your beliefs. An "Open Mind" to different viewpoints is the true Democracy...not the close-minded views of the Right Wing/Fundamentalist Right Wing/Think Tank Operated/Ayn Rand Devotees and Milton Friedmanomics Supporters who have created Bubble Stock Markets and Ruin for over 40 Years!
