Daniel Hale the "US Drone War" whistleblower pleads guilty to one count of violating the Espionage Act

By
"The documents that Hale provided to investigative journalist Jeremy Scahill of The Intercept contributed significantly to public awareness of the US military drone warfare and assassination programs developed during the Obama administration. The information helped to expose the existence of the secret programs, that drone strikes killed many more innocent people than their supposed “targets” and that US citizens had been killed extrajudicially by drone strikes in violation of their constitutional rights.
The reason Hale cited for pleading guilty is because the Espionage Act charges prevent a public interest defense. In other words, Hale’s lawyers were barred from arguing that the need of the public to be made aware of the criminal activities of the US government was more important than his obligation not to disclose classified information to anyone."

Zimbabwe must confront its culture of drink driving. Hopewell Chin’ono, a prominent journalist is still in prison for the crime of tweeting about corruption by Zimbabwe's elites, and people are celebrating the life of Gnimbi, a symbol of rot that has brought poverty and destroyed millions of lives of Zimbabweans. Why not organise protests or other actions during Gnimbi's funeral when the whole world is watching, when all those elites gather to show off at that funeral.  Tragic and sad as it is, Genius "Gnimbi" Kadungure was irresponsible and careless. The deaths of Moana, Limumba Karim and Elisha. These tragic deaths were were needless and preventable. The families who have lost their loved ones as a result of Gnimbi's carelessness should sue his car insurers and his estate for compensation for wrongful death.
