Bradley Manning’s pretrial hearing begins again today, and once again Kevin Gosztola will be there covering it at The Dissenter.
As Jesselyn Radack says at 26:40 in the HuffPost Live clip:
Kevin Gosztola should be recognized as one of the best journalists in our country and one of the only ones chronicling what is happening in Bradley Manning’s court marshal, as he has since the beginning.

About Firedoglake
We have more of a reporter here in the likes of a K.G., than the collective media establishment in aggregate. Most unfortunate that the “testicles” or “ovaries” of the “investigative reporter(s),” if he or she exists anymore, is in the vice of a compromised corporate (the Good American) controlled media.
Kevin’s actions have been damn near heroic. Hell of a find, Jane. He’s great.
He was up again at the crack of dawn to schlepp down to Ft. Meade. The days are long and grueling and he’s on a military base, and they won’t let him leave. It’s exhausting. But he’s absolutely determined, and he’s there every minute.
I follow Kevin on Twitter and watch all day during hearings. His updates are invaluable.
Thank you for giving him the launch pad to cover these hearings. Bradley deserves his story told in full, or as full as the government will allow, and Kevin has been the loudest and most perceptive voice telling that story.
Thanks, Jane. And, kudos to Kevin.
I’ve heard it said Action is the antidote for despair.
I believe Kevin wins this years, SD “never give up” award.
Absolutely! FDL should create and award one of those every year in SD’s honor!
Jane, thanks but no thanks for the information. I am not too crazy about Huff.Post. I am content with FDL
Okay – But Michael Ratner, Jesselyn Radack and Daniel Ellsberg all shared great insights and it was HuffPost Live that got them together, not FDL. So, we have to point you in the direction and encourage you to hear what they have to say. They have perspectives I don’t have and Jane doesn’t have.
Can you appreciate that?
Thanks everyone for the praise. I appreciate everyone who is following and supporting my work.
Sorry, I wont appreciate it. I am an independent thinker and would like to remain that way. I always have problems with Ariana and her business practices (slave labor). I refuse to support, you know what I mean. Now I agree about your point of perspective of all those gentlemen. True. If need to watch them I can hear them at several other places lot more professional than Huff and Puff. About three or four years ago I wrote as a compliment to FDL or Jane (when she was covering Libby’s trial) and mentioned the good old “you build the field, they will come and play”. I am sooooo happy to see FDL progress and popularity. And you yourself are a living example and others. Independence is FDL’s uniqueness and should remain that way. By the way I read all your posting with great interest and learn a lot.
Proud to help out when I can, you are a real star, Kevin.
