Published on Feb 7, 2013

Plaintiffs and supporters in the Hedges v. Obama lawsuit challenging the controversial indefinite detention provision set forth in § 1021(b)(2) of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA): Film-maker Michael Moore and Thomas Drake, National Security Whistleblower, with his attorney, Jesselyn Radack, joins Pulitzer prize-winning journalist Chris Hedges, whistle-blower Daniel Ellsberg, and NDAA Case Coordinator Tangerine Bolen, moderated by Natasha Lennard of Salon.com and Matt Sledge of The Huffington Post. They discuss the profound erosion of liberties set out by the 2012 NDAA, a pattern of abuse and intimidation on the part of the Obama DOJ toward publishers, whistleblowers and activists, the creative efforts of the widely disparate groups that have joined the lawsuit team and the need to replace a corrupt government. Earlier in the day, February 6, 2013, was argument before the 2nd Circuit in which the US appealed the historic ruling by Judge Katherine Forrest in favor of the plaintiffs.
