The CIA and the Biden administration claim that Julian Assange conspired with Chelsea Manning to “hack” and therefore steal top-secret information.

Their entire case is hinged on this. But this has NEVER been proven and Chelsea Manning has repeatedly claimed this is false and that she NEVER had to 'hack' anything.

Manning says that she had full, readily available access to the information she passed along to WikiLeaks.

I’m going to pardon Assange and Snowden on Day 1. I’m going to build a statue to Assange somewhere near the Washington Press Club and a statue to Snowden outside CIA HQ in Langley as a civics lesson to the Republic.

So, in essence, Chelsea Manning is the one who committed the crime of sharing state secrets and spent 7 years in prison for this. Yet, the publisher to whom she leaked the information is standing trial to be extradited to the United States to face a 175-year prison sentence.

Sounds fair… right?

The single most pioneering and consequential journalist of his generation -- who is responsible for the publication of more major scoops that most corporate journalists combined -- today has his final attempt to avoid dying a US prison cell. Live reporting here:

@VICE Stfu. You used to do powerful investigative journalism. Can you just take one step back and look at what you've become. Fucking pathetic.

@transport_wales can you please stop parking your trains outside my flat with the engines on?! At least turn the engine off, waking me up every day. Near chester station.

@andrew_lilico Good ideas! Maybe the best solution for growth is to have the Tories do what they can now for growth in the finance sector such as the reforms just announced, then have labour come in and focus on the things in your article.

Would be consistent with both party's philosophies.

[Tom @theseironhands]

@andrew_lilico Also have you considered that they see their side as just too. So who should be the adjudicator?

Maybe perceived justice is not the best basis for peace.

[Tom @theseironhands]

@andrew_lilico In the novel I'm reading, there's a race called the Forkrul Assail. They saw themselves as arbiters to the world. Their version of justice was to simply annihilate both sides of any conflict.

Is an unjust peace better or worse than nuclear war?

@parker_bradley They already live in misery, they want everyone else to share their misery.

@vincecable @Independent So we shouldn't criticise their abhorrent treatment of Uygurs because its inconvenient and cause the west has previously done horrendous things of its own?

No one wants war but calling it out /= war.

Unbelievable garbage from you.

It is possible to say the govt has done vaccination better than many others and that they have ballsed up just about everything else. There are shades of grey in everything and we need more of them in the way we debate. Ps it is not possible to support 2 football teams 4/4

@ffscout_az @WBA Wow, I hope they get relegated and never come back up.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

Mediocre journalists with no reporting accomplishments or record of bravery always hate most those who actually bring transparency to the world's most powerful factions and enable the most important scoops.

They're a mirror held up to these journalists, showing their failures:

[Naomi Klein @NaomiAKlein]

Between this and the disgraceful smearing of Corbyn, it's pretty clear that for liberals on both sides of the Atlantic, the true Machiavellian passion is saved for knifing the left, not slaying actual right wing monsters.

Which is unfortunate, and not just for the knifed left.

@samesmail it's like the opening scene of a Mr Robot episode.

I regret not voting Andy Burnham in the 2015 Labour leadership race. The guy woulda been an outstanding PM if he'd got there.
