YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

"There are numerous travesties defining the ongoing prosecution of accused whistleblower Bradley Manning, but none more dangerous than the accusation that by leaking classified information, he "aided and abetted the enemy" (al-Qaida) - a capital offense. Not even the government claims he intended to help al-Qaida. The theory is that, even though it was not his intent, the information Manning disclosed may end up being of value to the terrorist organization: a claim that applies to virtually every leak of classified information to any media organization, thus transforming standard whistle-blowing into the equivalent of treason."

Bob Woodward wrote a book divulging national secrets. Why isn't he getting jailed and humiliated and mistreated like Bradley Manning was when he leaked information? Cenk Uygur breaks down which the real threat to freedom is.
