Transparency isn’t of much value if no one much bothers to look, or if when they do there’s little understanding of what’s before them. Or worse, if when even horrific images like the ones in the Wikileaks-released video Collateral Murder are disseminated they are immediately enfolded and massaged into brains already preconditioned by old and new media violence housed in the skulls of numbed-out spectators who perceive the murder victims as at best the “other” and worst extras in a video-game fantasy (one like Manhunt, for instance).

That’s why the kind of analysis Andy provides–history, policy, context, with the names, bios and faces of not only the victims but also the perpetrators–is invaluable. Priceless.

I fervently hope Julian Assange is a step or two ahead of them, ensconced somewhere safe for the duration, and further that Bernard Manning does not become the 182nd of what used to be called enemy combatants dumped in the pit of Guantanamo to be warehoused indefinitely, and down the road opportunely suicided.

Given the above post, of course I felt sick to my toes that the Defense Department has asked Mr. Assange for his “cooperation.” If only one line of my book is ever read and absorbed, let it be the last:

“We Will Not Cooperate.”
