Wikileaks Spin Manning's Legal Representation

Quote:

Birgitta Jonsdottir, a parliamentarian in Iceland who acts as a spokeswoman for the website, said in a telephone interview from Reykjavik that the Pentagon had refused this week to allow the lawyers to meet the Army intel analyst, Bradley Manning. Jonsdottir said Assange had hired private lawyers several days ago because of growing alarm that the accused whistleblower is being mistreated by the Defense Department.

The above statement goes beyond the realms of spin. Birgitta Jonsdottir; a left wing Icelandic politician is being very economical with the truth; and is behaving true to her stereotype as a persistent and predicable anti American loud mouth. Many WIKILEAKS activists consider Birgitta Jonsdottir a liability to WIKILEAKS; responsible for introducing excessive political bias into our output. This was evident with her naming, editing, and commentary of the gunship video.

Assange has not hired any private attorneys to represent Assange. This revealed in our last message to CRYPTOME.

If this is not the case; then we challenge Assange and Jonsdottir to name the law firm they have hired; and for the law firm to provide us all with an update concerning this issue.

We would be looking for the formal notice of representation with to the JAG office in Kuwait from an experienced law firm specialising in military justice. This should then be followed up with an official request for discovery.

In the meantime, Manning remains in detention; with no help from WIKILEAKS, whilst Assange tries to milk donors for $200,000 in order to hire a non existent team of attorneys.

Birgitta Jonsdittir uses the occasion to continue her anti American agenda, and compromise WIKILEAKS credibility.
