Brigitta Josdottir Comes To New York. Icelandic MP Birgitta Jonsdottir, During Visit, Describes Being Targeted by US Government. On April 3, Icelandic parliamentarian Birgitta Jonsdottir arrived in the United States.
It was her first visit since she helped WikiLeaks release the “Collateral Murder” video showing a 2007 Apache helicopter attack by US forces in Iraq, and it coincided with the three-year anniversary of the release.

Bradley Manning, an action for alleged Stratfor hacker Jeremy Hammond and, in general, whistleblowers and dissidents in the country being targeted by their government. I spoke to Birgitta. The following is Part 1 of an interview with her.
