Hypocrisy

We live in a DISinformation age​

Does anyone, left, right or center disagree?

What have we learned?

"The debate in the media, and in political, circles over Edward Snowden--Right or Wrong--often doubles back on references to Pfc. Manning, who was sentenced to 35 years in prison this morning. Too often (that is, most of the time), the value and import of the Manning/WikiLeaks disclosures are ignored or dismissed, just as Snowden's NSA scoops often derided as "nothing new."

So for those who either suffer from memory loss or ignorance on this particular score, here is a partial accounting of some of the important revelations in the Manning leak, drawn from my book--with Kevin Gosztola--on the Manning case, Truth and Consequences (now, thanks to the miracle of modern publishing, updated to include the verdict and sentencing and reactions)."

Pressing Issues: What Manning Revealed

Does the author discuss the parts of the Collateral Murder video that WL edited out...showing the Reuters "journalist" carrying an RPG and the van dropping off insurgents to join in the firefight a few blocks away...or does he blindly swallow what Assange fed him?

I agree that Manning shouldn't be the only one being imprisoned.
