Statement from Edward Snowden in Moscow. (on 2013-07-01) One week ago I left Hong Kong after it became clear that my freedom and safety were under threat for revealing the truth. My continued liberty has been owed to the efforts of friends new and old, family, and others who I have never met and probably never will. I trusted them with my life and they returned that trust with a faith in me for which I will always be thankful. On Thursday, President Obama declared before the world that he would not permit any diplomatic "wheeling and dealing" over my case. This kind of deception from a world leader is not justice, and neither is the extralegal penalty of exile.
For decades the United States of America has been one of the strongest defenders of the human right to seek asylum. In the end the Obama administration is not afraid of whistleblowers like me, Bradley Manning or Thomas Drake. I am unbowed in my convictions and impressed at the efforts taken by so many.

The Truth About Julian Assange And Wikileaks Last night I had the privilege of speaking to Christine Assange, the mother of Julian Assange who has been a reluctant hostage of a global political war among the United States, the UK, and Sweden and of all places Ecuador.
Christine was very informative and thorough in explaining the history and current events regarding the heinous manner in which her son has been treated for supporting one of the most sacred rights of man this being right to have and freely provide access to truthful information. Still, facts and information do not cover the love and concern a mother feels for her child. As a mother myself, I felt Christine's immense and intense worry for her son's safety and his life. As a citizen of the world who carries many of the same concerns we all do of political strife, injustice, world war, poverty, and economic failure, she is above all a mother. I want to share and summarize what I learned from Christine. Let's help: Chomsky-Ali: Episode Ten.

Bradley Manning is escorted from a courthouse in Fort Meade, Md. An Army officer is recommending a general court-martial for Manning, a low-ranking intelligence analyst charged in the biggest leak of classified information in U.S. history. Photo: Patrick Semansky/AP WikiLeaks suspect Bradley Manning is headed for a general court-martial, according to the commander of the U.S. Maj. The most serious charge — aiding the enemy — carries a possible death penalty. Linnington’s decision was no surprise to court watchers. His recommendation was subsequently upheld by the special court-martial convening authority Col. It’s not known when Manning’s court-martial proceedings will begin, but the speedy-trial rule under the Uniform Code of Military Justice requires that suspects be tried within 120 days of being arrested or 120 days of the “preferral of charges.”
It’s unclear how many days are left on Manning’s 120-day clock. Greg Santos - Google+ - ya'll playing?
