Book talk with Chase Madar
The astonishing leaks attributed to Chelsea (formerly Bradley) Manning
are viewed from many angles, from Tunisia to Guantanamo Bay, from Foggy
Bottom to Baghdad to small-town Oklahoma. Around the world, the eloquent
alleged act of one young soldier forces citizens to ask themselves if
they have the right to know what their government is doing.
