How does some members of the US media encourage "good law abiding citizens" to respond to whistleblowers Edward and Bradley's revelations that the US government is deceitful, corrupt and murderous? You label the whistleblowers as "traitors" and belittle them as "high school dropouts" (who just so happened to be employed as top computer system analysts of the CIA or intelligence analysts for the military) and say they have committed the worse kind of crime of all (exposing the truth) and therefore deserve to die!
Notice he also uses the same argument that Wikileaks stated about their publication of state secrets not causing any deaths, to go on to suggest that the US government illegally and unethically spying on the whole world has also "not caused any harm to law-abiding American citizens"! Citizens of other countries or US citizens who don't obey the state's laws 100% don't have rights! So he thinks the war mongering US government should be trusted with information about everything and everyone but not the press or the public?

Assange speaks to CBS from Ecuadorian Embassy re Bradley Manning trial
June 7, 2013
Take note in this interview how the journalists interviewing Assange immediately try to blame Assange implying he has done something wrong because he is not in the same position that Bradley is in! Ie, facing a punishment of life in prison by the US military and government. They keep stating the same old (false) argument that the release of secrets by Bradley Manning and Wikileaks has endangered the lives of American soldiers and civilians. Julian gives a clear and concise answer, but the journalists are not interested. They simply want to throw accusations and keep repeating the lies without any interest in the truth. They try to state that governments have a RIGHT to keep secrets and Julian gives an excellent answer. The interview concludes with a final accusation without giving Assange a chance to even answer it.

The courage and convictions of Edward Snowden
June 6, 2013
US National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden saw a lot of abuses and decided to inform the public, at the cost of his life. He is now being hunted down by the FBI and Britain has warned airlines not to allow him to board any flights to the UK.
"But over time that awareness of wrongdoing sort of builds up and you feel compelled to talk about. And the more you talk about the more you're ignored. The more you're told its not a problem until eventually you realize that these things need to be determined by the public and not by somebody who was simply hired by the government."
"And if living unfreely but comfortably is something you're willing to accept, and I think it many of us are it's the human nature; you can get up everyday, go to work, you can collect your large paycheck for relatively little work against the public interest, and go to sleep at night after watching your shows."
"But if you realize that that's the world you helped create and it's gonna get worse with the next generation and the next generation who extend the capabilities of this sort of architecture of oppression, you realize that you might be willing to accept any risk and it doesn't matter what the outcome is so long as the public gets to make their own decisions about how that's applied."
