Witness: Non-Muslims Targeted...

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — A witness to the attacks at Nairobi’s upscale mall says that gunmen told Muslims to stand up and leave and that non-Muslims would be targeted.
Elijah Kamau said Saturday that attackers with AK-47s and grenades made the statement about Muslims as they began their attack at the Westgate shopping mall in Kenya’s capital around midday.
Gunmen threw grenades and opened fire during the attack.
Associated Press reporters at the scene said they saw about 10 dead bodies and dozens wounded more than two hours after the attack began. Officials did not yet give an official death toll.
Somali’s rebel group al-Shabab vowed in late 2011 to carry out a large-scale attack in Nairobi in retaliation for Kenya’s sending of troops into Somalia to fight the Islamic insurgents.

The evidence of foul play in the death of Michael Hastings has been piling up since the incident happened, and now another witness is stepping forward to tell about Michael’s fear that someone had been tampering with his car.
This conversation was had just one day before his death, and to make matters even more strange, it was also recently discovered that the feds visited Hasting’s home the day before the crash as well.
LA Weekly reported that:
Helicopters often circle over the hills, but Hastings believed there were more of them around whenever he was at home, keeping an eye on him. He came to believe his Mercedes was being tampered with. “Nothing I could say could console him,” Thigpen says.
One night in June, he came to Thigpen’s apartment after midnight and urgently asked to borrow her Volvo. He said he was afraid to drive his own car. She declined, telling him her car was having mechanical problems.
“He was scared, and he wanted to leave town,” she says.
The next day, around 11:15 a.m., she got a call from her landlord, who told her Hastings had died early that morning. His car had crashed into a palm tree at 75 mph and exploded in a ball of fire.
With the evidence of foul play mounting up the mainstream media has went into damage control, even claiming that Hastings was a drug addict just to smear his name.
As Shepard Ambellas asked yesterday, Was Michael Hastings killed by ”the powers that be”, and then demonized by the mainstream media as a cover?

Star Witness And Trayvon Martin"s Friend Blasts Juror Who Called Her "Not Credible"
CNN
Less than 48 hours after a not-guilty verdict was handed down in the George Zimmerman case, the controversial witness who was on the phone with Trayvon Martin minutes before his death said she was “disappointed, upset, angry, questioning, and mad” at the verdict.
In an interview with CNN’s Piers Morgan, Jeantel also blasted an anonymous juror who had told CNN’s Anderson Cooper minutes before that she was not a “credible witness.” Jeantel said she was “angry” at the description.
And Jeantel refuted the anonymous juror known as B37 who said that the case and the verdict wasn’t about race.
“It was racial. Let’s be honest. It was racial,” she told Morgan.
Jeantel said that the jury’s verdict was based on “just B.S.” She painted a light-hearted picture of her friend Martin, saying he was not the “thug” the defense tried to make him out to be. She was open about his frequent use of marijuana — but she said it made him “hungry,” not violent.
“Weed didn’t make him go crazy. It made him go hungry,” Jeantel said.
She added: “He was a calm, chill, loving person, loved his family, definitely his mother. And a good friend.”
Here’s a clip of her appearance:

Bradley Manning Witness Defends WikiLeaks
(Adds more testimony)
By Ian Simpson
FORT MEADE, Md., July 10 (Reuters) – WikiLeaks and its model of decentralized leaking of secrets is a high point in journalism history, a Harvard professor testified on Wednesday at the court-martial of a U.S. soldier charged with passing secret documents to the website.
Testifying for the defense at the trial of Private First Class Bradley Manning, Harvard Law School professor Yochai Benkler said WikiLeaks had taken on a role that had always been played by investigative journalism.
WikiLeaks is “a clear distinct component of what in the history of journalism we see as high points, where journalists are able to come in and say, ‘Here’s a system operating in a way that is obscure to the public and now we’re able to shine the light,’” said Benkler, the co-director of the Berkman Center for Internet and Society.
Benkler, who has extensively studied WikiLeaks, said the website founded by Julian Assange might fail because of the fallout from the Manning case and its role in aiding Edward Snowden, the fugitive former U.S. spy agency contractor.
“But the model of some form of decentralized leaking, that is secure technologically and allows for collaboration among different media in different countries, that’s going to survive and somebody else will build it,” he said under questioning by defense attorney David Coombs.
Manning, 25, is alleged to have leaked more than 700,000 classified files, combat videos and State Department cables to WikiLeaks while serving as an intelligence analyst in Iraq in 2009 and 2010.
NEWS OUTLETS
WikiLeaks provided the materials in 2010 to traditional news outlets that included The New York Times, Britain’s Guardian and Germany’s Der Spiegel. The newspapers were able to vet the material and provide greater distribution for it, Benkler said.
Benkler is the 10th witness called by Coombs since the defense case started on Monday. Coombs has not divulged a customary list of witnesses, but Benkler could be the last called by the defense.
The 21 charges against Manning include espionage, computer fraud and, most seriously, aiding the enemy by disclosing material that could be used by the al Qaeda network.
Manning, a native of Crescent, Oklahoma, could face life in prison without parole if convicted of aiding the enemy.
Benkler said a 2008 Defense Department report showed that before Manning’s disclosure the U.S. military viewed WikiLeaks as a news gathering operation rather than a source of information for an enemy.
In other testimony, a specialist at the Center for Army Lessons Learned at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, said in a sworn statement that the center had not recommended changes, such as in training or tactics, because of the WikiLeaks disclosures.
The center, which focuses on adapting operations to changing conditions, also had not been requested to do so, said the witness, whose name was not disclosed.
The defense has sought to portray Manning as a naive but well-intentioned soldier who wanted to show Americans the reality of war in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Defense lawyers also have contended that much of the material Manning is charged with leaking had been available from public sources before the WikiLeaks disclosure.
The prosecution rested last week after five weeks of testimony, some in closed session. The trial is scheduled to end by Aug. 23. (Editing by Barbara Goldberg, David Brunnstrom and Phil Berlowitz)
