WikiLeaks Founder Julian Assange on Iraq War Logs (Part 2 of 4)

Watch Part 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jz4dJpJTJYE

In an extended interview with Democracy Now!, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange discusses the release of more than 400,000 classified U.S. military records on the war in Iraq, the largest intelligence leak in U.S. history. The disclosure provides a trove of new evidence on the number of civilian casualties, violence, torture, and suffering that has befallen Iraq since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion. While the Obama administration is defending the U.S. military's record in Iraq, the allegations in the documents have sparked worldwide condemnation. Assange also describes WikiLeaks "under siege" and that "the real attack on truth" is by tabloid journalism in the U.S. mainstream media.

Go Julian !! Expose the lies !

[asynkronos]

I do NOT trust authoritarians. They dehumanize people. What kind of military leader is McChrystal to allow his subordinates to order our soldiers to gun down innocent men, women and children and toss off their lives as "collateral damage"? Is that heroic? No, it's fraud, coercion and murder. That's why they keep it secret. The damned parasites have stolen trillions from us by staging these massive productions and hiding their despicable crimes.

huh -- let's hear from the NON-soldiers.... of course they ALL will echo what the US Government wants them to say - for heavens sake. Again -- USE third parties that are not going to be fired or offed if they offer a different view.
