Marianne, I watched most of the televised podcast and found it distressing. As a former journalist and advocate of my local university's school of journalism, I intend to send this discussion to the head of the school. Also, I will send an ardent letter to both of my State's U.S. Senators--one being Sen. Amy Klobuchar: she shows great respect for our Constitution and First Amendment rights, so I hope my points gain her attention, particularly, since she serves on the Judiciary Committee, and she's very skilled as a prosecuting attorney--as you may have noted when she questioned now Associate Justice of the Supereme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Finally, I appreciated your bringing a historical perspective into much of the discussion as well as alluding to those indirectly benefitting by the 'secrets' held by our military--the toxic link between our government and the corporate defense sector. Keep safe!

I watched all three hours of this timely and fascinating discussion. Thank you to all who made it possible. I have always been a believer in the rights of Julian Assange as a journalist and will speak out even more, especially to the White House. I , sadly, have many friends who have been fed the corporate media, military complex, and political party misinformation. I will continue to make noise with you!
