Got it wrong. I’m not apologizing. I’m saying it’s been going on for a looong time, but since it was only happening to other Feds. No one gave a crap. Now it’s happening to anyone else: welcome to the party.
Want to change it? Covering the trial is part of that, but I’m just saying this is considered normal in that world, not singling out anyone special. That’s actually part of the problem. Taking the Manning trial out of the equation - this is how some agencies treat everyone who visits them for any reason. Transparency will be a one way street until more people realize what has been going on for the last decade.
