Topic: State Secrets Act

Daniel Ellsberg is quoted criticizing President Barack Obama for using the Espionage Act to prosecute more leakers than all previous presidents combined. The hosts discuss a perceived "war" between the CIA and the Obama administration. They suggest Obama is attempting to implement a version of the British Official Secrets Act in the U.S. to criminalize the handling of classified material by journalists.

The hosts analyze a CNN interview where Julian Assange walked out after being questioned about internal disputes and staff suspensions within WikiLeaks. They argue that WikiLeaks has evolved from a vigilante group into a sophisticated organization with employees. They reiterate the theory that the entire WikiLeaks phenomenon is being used as a pretext to pass a State Secrets Act in the United States.
