Timothy Webster Adrian Lamo: The Bradley Manning Leak: Code Pink Meets Gathering of Eagles: Quantico Protest for Bradley Manning

ACTION ALERT: Gathering of Eagles is asking you to join them as they counter protest the detention of Pfc Bradley Manning at Quantico on Sunday, August 8th. See a link to details below. About Manning - here's how he got caught: Timothy Webster received a call from Adrian Lamo, a computer hacker, on May 26th saying he had been told a huge volume of classified information would be given to WikiLeaks. Lamo asked Webster, a former Army counterintelligence agent what he should do about it, and also told him that Pfc. Bradley Manning was the leaker who had previously leaked a video of a U.S. helicopter attack in Baghdad in 2007.

Adrian Lamo apparently spoke to several people about Manning, but it was Webster who made the contact with the Army, who then contacted Lamo. Three days after Lamo called Webster, Manning was detained in Kuwait on May 29th.

Bradley Manning is being held at the Marine base at Quantico, Virginia. WikiLeaks and Courage to Resist say they will supplement up to $100,000 for a civilian attorney to work with Manning's Military attorney.

A protest in support of Manning is expected at Quantico tomorrow (Sunday, August 8th), with Code Pink leading the way. According to an email I received Gathering of Eagles will also be there to greet the Pinkys, which is believed to be funded by George Soros.

From the Code Pink website:

Veterans for Peace, Courage to Resist and others will be holding a rally at Quantico Base to support whistleblower Bradley Manning. We will be delivering Bradley Manning letters of support to the base....When: Sunday, August 8, noon...

It appears Code Pink will have some awesome greeters when they arrive. Gathering of Eagles is asking everyone in the area to join them at Quantico, and has some good informational tips about how to get onto base.  

Julian Assange Arrest Warning from White House? Bradley Manning Held in Secret Kuwait Jail?

Julian Assange, the Wikileaks editor-in-chief, says he has been warned by sources inside the U.S. government that he may be detained or arrested if he returns to the U.S.  The Drudge Report headline saying the source is from the White House is taken from a Telegraph headline - but there is nothing in the Telegraph article claiming the White House is involved. PFC Bradley Manning, a U.S. Army intelligence analyst, is under arrest for funneling the classified information to Wikileaks. Assange also says the U.S. is trying to "hide" Manning from effective civil representation in a secret Kuwait jail which is "a second Guantanamo Bay."

Julian Assange - Wikileaks

Assange says his government sources say he will be charged as a co-conspirator to espionage if he returns to the U.S. Wikileaks leaked 92,000 pages of classified military document about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, with more to come. He claims he gave the information to the White House weeks before he posted the documents online, and he asked if there was anything the White House wanted redacted, but received no response. The White House basically said Assange was lying and they knew nothing about the documents.

The 39 year-old told journalists at the Frontline Club last night that US government insiders had informed him about discussions to charge him as a co-conspirator to espionage.

An Australian, Julian Assange, takes classified intelligence documents from a disgruntled member of the U.S. Military and is warned by our own government that he should not enter the U.S. I have to ask what is happening to our Military? They can't keep a PFC in line? Why did a PFC have access to classified documents, or at least the ability to retrieve them? And what is the real story? Are White House sources in touch with Assange or the State Department...what's up the Telegraph's headline?
