U.S. Chamber of Commerce plots against “opponents”
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, has been working with “private security” and lobbying firms to attack and undermine “opponents”.
The companies involved are, among others, Hunton and Williams, whose attorneys solicited private security firms HB Gary Federal, Palantir, and Berico Technologies (Team Themis collectively) to develop a sabotage campaign against certain “opponents”.
The private spy company investigated members of the family, including children, of the so called U.S. Chamber of Commerce “opponents”.
Aaron Barr, an executive at HB Gary Federal circulated emails and documents with personal lives details and even photos of the opponents’ family including their children.
Details were revealed by one of the targets of the action – ThinkProgress.org.
In an email from Aaron Barr to Hunton & Williams attorney John Woods, he points out to the need of reducing exposure so that he won’t be identified and shows how Woods and another fellow Hunton attorney Richard Wyatt are “vulnerable” in social media.
The three security companies – Palantir Technologies, HBGary Federal and Berico Technologies – were also implicated in a plot to target the online whistleblower WikiLeaks and some of its prominent supporters

Bradley Manning – at at 16:46:43 min

Transcript :
Clwyd: I want to raise with you the question of Bradley Manning, the US marine, who at present is in a military prison – untried and unconvicted – and the treatment that has been given him. He has been kept in solitary confinement over the past ten months, he is denied access to the normal things that one has every day. He is made to stand naked outside his cell every morning and so on and so forth. And as you know, Hilary Clinton’s press spokesman has been forced to resign over the comments that he made over the treatment of Bradley Manning, calling it “counterproductive and stupid.”
Bradley Manning’s mother in Welsh, from Pembrokeshire. She has visited him recently and everyone is very concerned about his treatment. I wonder if you can raise it, or have raised it, because there is a lot of public interest in the treatment of Bradley Manning.
Hague: Well, on this particular case, Mr Manning’s lawyer apparently wrote on the 2nd February on his blog that “Mr. Manning does not hold a UK passport, nor does he consider himself a UK citizen.” Beyond that we can’t comment on an individual’s nationality without their consent. And in that situation, of course, our standing on this matter is limited. He is not asking for our help, nor considering himself British.
In general, conditions in US prisons do meet international standards. Solitary confinement is a procedure used in many countries. It is deemed to offer protection both to the inmate and those around them. It is for his legal representative to challenge his treatment, if they judge that his treatment fails to meet international standards.
The fact that it has been raised in this committee, of course, can be brought to the attention of the United States. So it can be, and will be. But our position, from a legal and a consular point of view is as I’ve just been describing.
Clwyd: Can I just say that his legal representative published an 11-page document a few days ago, which was a statement from Manning but also a complaint from his lawyer about his treatment. So as we are receiving letters from constituents on this particular subject, I will be coming back to you on this subject.
Hague: Well, do come back to me and of course I will write you a letter so you can correspond with your constituents.
