Very interesting talk, especially the part where he says Assange has access to all this information but only selectively releases things based on his own personal agenda;

'Assange smeared faeces in our embassy'
No-one is saying he's jolly good fellow, or that his integrity is beyond reproach. They want to try him for his role in helping Chelsea Manning expose what was at least sickening murder and at worst war crimes. We (as in the people of the world) can't have that.

Criminals have to be assessed on everything they did, not just one case.

The indictment is all about the Chelsea Manning leak. That's why they have Manning in prison again, because she refuses to testify against her source.

Nope. Manning is in jail for her demands for a public hearing as the only way she will testify. She broke the law, simple as that.

From the wiki:

On March 8, 2019, Manning was held in contempt of court by a United States District Court judge and jailed in Alexandria, Virginia for refusing to testify to a grand jury investigating WikiLeaks. Manning said she refuses to testify because she objects to the secrecy of the grand jury process, and already revealed everything she knows at her court martial. The judge ordered her to remain in jail until Manning testifies or until the grand jury concludes its work.[10]

I said she's in prison for refusing to testify. You said 'nope'. Wiki says 'yep'. No?

You didn't read your source, your own post nor what you linked.. She said no to the closed grand jury as one of her objections. The other objection has no merit. She said nothing about protecting her source

Never happened. Especially as she claims she told the government everything already. How do you protect a source when you have told government everything you already know? Think about it.....

Oh. Aye, fair enough. That was a bit of a brain fart on my behalf.
