Michael Hastings & WikiLeaks/Assange

This a byproduct or companion thread to my theory that Hastings already had some (yet unpublished) information which together with some of Snowdens infos would have added up to something much more threatening for the three letter agencies and/or the administration.

Thank god for people like Hastings, Assange, Manning and Snowden who will not bow down to the corrupt power in this world! We're seeing more and more of these true journalists that report with integrity.

We'll get the media back on the public's side soon, you'll see. The tide is already turning.

Since you mentioned Manning I will just repeat what I posted some minutes ago on another thread:

Michael Hastings, who disappeared in a fiery car crash on Jun 18 also was interested in Bradley Manning's case! More "interesting" timing...

Here are some tweets:

@3ristar President Obama perhaps should pardon Bradley Manning.

1/2 "Pfc Manning also details how he tried to leak the archive of secret files to both The Washington Post and The New York Times...

Btw, a win for @RonPaul is a win for @wikileaks and Bradley Manning.

link

and to me, barring them from visiting manning sounds like possibility of even bigger story. #wikileaks #bradleymanning

Michael Hastings was certainly working on several different stories when he was "accidented". I would not be surprised if one of them was about Manning.
