[00:00] the justified and has charged up former c_i_a_ officer are john and tour kalo steeple player is said that right arbiter reiterates problems they write me anyway out with a espionage act now that's a very very serious charge you know that before president obama there's only been three instances of the united states government charging someone with espionage act forgiving excessive information as they claim

[00:30] this former c_i_a_ officer there and six different tastes that is a special on it because president or bob promise to i'd be air and friend to whistle blowers entrance passage there's something wrong in our government he reported he was going to help you doesn't look like he's albania so whatever sag ideal while he talked about how we want a quart of people and how was torture now he thought it was justified even did an interview on sixty minutes

[01:01] and said uh... that he thought it worked the underplayed amount of george but we did but do you happen to call it torture now they look at that missy i did not like that furthermore there was a two thousand a new york times story which invade believe he is the source of the dam proving at and so they say well okay i got past and i jack i guess you're you know there was one of the toughest laws we have and we're company get your are part of the spaces because it's if here's a great irony of that if you actually do the waterboarding if you didn't torture

[01:34] you got no punishment whatsoever now present all mama claimed it was torture and ridiculous and he says he stopped at as ridiculous in a squabble right is torture but he didn't always scot-free the president will not look backward euler look for work if you report the waterboarding the torture espionage act when i play with a look back work all its to protect the c_i_a_'s after this thing protect that's the bush administration error and dick cheney that order that torture well then of course you look

[02:04] backward and in fact new uh... looked very deep into you know us info about charging the defense lawyers at one time all back our whole system is based on an adversarial system where somebody gets a defects now one of the press uh... tactics was to look at that interrogators and try and determine who they were so they can bring them in the court and say eight use them as witnesses because the guys who aren't going to have a bank that are face execution listen when you get an executed we should be able to call the witnesses

[02:37] and what they do obviously for intimidation purposes eric holder jeremy just martin said well let's look into their words are and say we need to be made and say that maybe will charge you with that whatever kind of laws we invited to go out to you mercifully they have decided that in our liberty system we're not going to charge the president is defense attorneys but when it comes to a former c_i_a_ officer but cipher vengeance meanwhile heroes they could be a who was one of the guys who was tortured

[03:08] he was a u_s_ citizen he was locked up in the u_s_ first over three years no charges i flipped out over that at the time on the interest because i said if they can do with the jose padilla they need to do it to anybody he was here in the united states and he's a u_s_ citizen well before circuit this rule yes bigoted anybody uh... jose p_b_s_ case against our us all this thrown out we're not even a consider whether you were tortured did the sensory deprivation has set a route

[03:39] and forget the torture part of it they just didn't even give you a hearing for over three years allowing him listen you got no right-wing rosso highbury by the way the people who defended rumsfeld there of course eric holder and the justice department for a couple of blackboard to see if they did anything wrong they arrest and indefinitely detain u_s_ citizen without charges who can we decide that the law hysteria a little while ago more enough course ever take the bush administration of course that they run spelled but if you saw what was actually blowing the whistle spoke with catches

[04:14] well why is that once again that was a fairness in that there isn't it they look backward when they wanted to protect the bush administration and i look forward when they wanted to protect the bush administration is a good thing we voted for change now of all that weren't bad enough grain reward points out the third hypocrisy here there was a incident inha defect or act in two thousand five where uh... murray staff sergeant of frank would a rich uh... sp told his soldiers to split is very sad to say

[04:46] but should first pass questions later hasn't direct quote and they did they killed twenty-four on armed civilians so massive uh... well don't worry uh... they've really dealt with a major struck a plea deal with them where he might get upto three months in prison maybe up to three months in prison twenty-four armed civilians dead and it's because they told the marines there shoot first don't bother let's see if there is a millions

[05:21] so if you don't twenty four people you might get up to the three must and by the way uh... let's be fair here he could also lose two-thirds of the spe any could be demoted a private why are we really got up but he told world about our clients are transgressions our problems when we're coming to get you espionage a maza here hussein has a great quote on this going very well pointed that out as well

[05:53] he said below traveling manning true really consider committee so more crimes and sort of exposing them i mean no truer words have ever been spoken but what does that say about our u_s_ government is a bradley many headquarters somebody water somebody made even shot on armed civilians have committed war crimes we would do a walk but most of protective because he exposed a war crimes we're doing it are almost the prosecutor and perhaps put 'em in jail for the rest of us life what happened in the united states of america

[06:25] and what happened to that change we voted for
