Dr. Cynthia McKinney Explains Her Use and Then Forced Scrubbing of WikiLeaks in Her Dissertation
After being asked by her Dissertation Committee Member, Dr. Peter Dale Scott, what happened, Cynthia McKinney Explains Her Use And Then Forced Scrubbing of WikiLeaks in Her Dissertation due to the Obama Administration’s sentencing of journalist Barrett Brown to prison for publishing documents using the same whistleblowing platform.
Read the dissertation preface where I protest what happened to me and restate the importance of using all such documents (including COINTELPRO and Frank Church Reports) in fully understanding, U.S. political behavior based on the policies and perceptions of the individuals who make or contribute to the making of it. In my case, I used State Department Cables published in WikiLeaks CableGate and Stratfor e-mails, published in WikiLeaks Global Intelligence Files. Barrett Brown was prosecuted and sentenced to 63 months in prison for merely linking to the Stratfor e-mails published on WikiLeaks. The title of my Preface is “Barrett Brown, Barack Obama, and Hugo Chavez: When Telling the Truth Becomes a Crime.”
