Description:
The Forgotten Man
Reporter: Quentin McDermott
Broadcast: 14/02/2011
While WikiLeaks boss Julian Assange has been cast as a heroic
champion of free speech, his ongoing expose of US foreign policy
would not have been possible without the work of Private Bradley
Manning. It was Manning who allegedly stole the classified documents
published by WikiLeaks. It is Manning who now languishes in a US
military prison.
Now reporter Quentin McDermott tells the inside story of Bradley
Manning and his daring intelligence heist. David House is one of the
few civilians allowed to visit Bradley Manning in jail. He describes the
young soldier's mental deterioration and his struggle to deal with long
hours of confinement.
He tells the program: "...the US Government is just trying to put
immense pressure on him in order to get him to crack open."
In Monday's Four Corners we hear the only recording of Bradley
Manning's voice and we listen to the logs of alleged conversations
with the man who ultimately betrayed him.
That man is Adrian Lamo. In an extraordinary interview he reveals
how he came to know Bradley Manning, claiming the young soldier
openly confessed to him his role in the WikiLeaks scandal.
Four Corners also explores the disputes that have erupted inside
WikiLeaks. A former insider has told the program how he held deep
reservations about Julian Assange's determination to keep releasing
material that might compromise his source.
The program puts these accusations to the WikiLeaks boss.
There is little doubt America wants to punish Julian Assange. But to
bring a case against him vital questions must be answered: How did
Private Bradley Manning steal the classified material? How did he
relay it to WikiLeaks? Did he do this of his own accord or did Julian
Assange conspire with him to take the information?
