Randy Credico interviews Mohamed Elmaazi & Ray McGovern
Credico’s video includes poignant footage of Craig saying good-bye to his wife and two small boys at the prison entrance, as lawyer Mohamed Elmaazi brings us up to date on the legal status of this new travesty of “British justice”.
Then, from minute 13:20 to 25:20, Ray comments on why the British Establishment hates Craig Murray and his “odd” views against torture and prosecuting journalists like Julian Assange and himself — views embodied in the now defunct Magna Carta wrested from King John 800 years ago (when there were still English nobles.)
In 2005, Murray was among the first honored with the annual Sam Adams Award for Integrity in Intelligence. SAAII is now about to name its 20th recipient. (See: samadamsaward.ch)
Craig was preceded by other profiles in courage — British GCHQ analyst Katharine Gun and FBI special agent/Division Counsel Coleen Rowley, for example — and followed by the likes of Julian Assange, Edward Snowden, Chelsea Manning, and William Binney.
For moviegoers, truly excellent films (NOT coming to a theater near you, sadly, but available on line) have been produced about awardees/whistleblowers Katharine Gun, Edward Snowden, and William Binney. Each of them has emphasized the degree to which they were edified by the example of earlier awardees to heed their own conscience and summon the courage to expose key crimes of officialdom.
