In a clip, Chelsea Manning explains that she originally tried to leak documents to The Washington Post and The New York Times before turning to WikiLeaks. Manning claims the "technical complexities" of the mainstream media prevented them from receiving the files securely at the time. The hosts note that Manning's inspiration for contacting the Post was the movie "All the President's Men."
The Freedom of the Press Foundation has released "SecureDrop," a whistleblower submission platform originally developed by Aaron Swartz as "Deadrop." The system underwent a security audit by Jacob Appelbaum and is being marketed as a secure way for sources to leak documents to journalists. This technology is central to the new investigative model being pursued by Greenwald and his associates.
