P.J. Crowley, whose comments on Bradley Manning sparked his resignation as Chief State Department loudspeaker for Hillary Clinton, is now within weeks a diplomatic and public policy rock star, He has increased prestige and political standing for his succinct commentary on Wikileaks, Bradley Manning, Libya and a host of other issues. Here’s a bit of background: Bradley Manning got thrown into Quantico where his “harsh” treatment has sparked a global protest. Crowley, while speaking to a small group at that relatively unknown junior college for low IQ jocks called MIT , let his personal views escape that he had a problem with how Manning was being treated. As a high level official working for Obama and Clinton, Crowley’s comments were not consistent with the “official” stance on Bradley Manning. So within a few days Crowley resigned, one of the first high level US Government resignations as a result of Wikileaks. This was a big deal and continues to be a big deal. And thanks to Crowley’s political twitterliness and short, straight-to-the-point commentary (http://twitter.com/#!/PJCrowley) and his military and political background, he is becoming a force to be reckoned with. Crowley reminds us of a slower talking version of a super smart Howard Dean without the loud public outbursts.

Future Wikileaks Movie character P.J. Crowley, whose Bradley Manning comments resulted in his resignation from the US Government, has surfaced in the UK’s Guardian to “stand by” his remarks. In his Op-Ed article titled “Why I called Bradley Manning’s treatment ‘stupid’” P.J.Crowley goes to great lengths to articulate his perspective. In this article he provides specific reasoning behind his remarks about Bradley Manning’s treatment, delivered to a small group at MIT. He also provides broader commentary on Wikileaks, CableGate and other topics relating to the release of US Diplomatic cables and communications by Wikileaks, Bradley Manning and Julian Assange. For standing firm behind his beliefs and convictions, P.J. Crowley will no doubt solidify a legacy in the Wikileaks affair and will certainly be highlighted in an eventual Wikileaks Movie, film or documentary.

U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Carlos Pascual Resigns Over Wikileaks Cables

March 19, 2011 By Jacob Andrews 2 Comments

U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Carlos Pascual resigned today, becoming the first US Diplomat to resign due to Wikileaks “Cablegate” and yet another potential story for inclusion in the Wikileaks Movie. Coming off the heels of P.J. Crowley resignation, Pascual leaves his post as diplomat to Mexico in order ease political tensions between Mexico and the United States stemming from a series of Wikileaks cables released last fall. These cables describe a dysfunctional and corrupt security organization in Mexico and low levels of collaboration. Mexican President Felipe Calderón is said to have been disturbed and offended, particularly by remarks focusing on the demeanor and abilities of the Mexican military and security. More recently President Calderón has been publicly denouncing Ambassador Pascual in the press, something which no doubt led to his resignation. The “Resignation of Pascual” set amidst scenes of political tension, border disputes and drug war violence may bring a dose of reality into the theaters, especially for movie goers in the United States and Mexico.

P.J. Crowley, State Department Spokesman, Resigns Over Bradley Manning Comments

March 13, 2011 By Jacob Andrews 4 Comments

The resignation of P.J. Crowley, US State Department Spokesman, over his Bradley Manning comments provides great opportunity for the Wikileaks Movie teams and demonstrates the unequivocal impact of Wikileaks, Julian Assange and Bradley Manning on global affairs. The Wikileaks film and movie teams have so much to work with including this recent resignation of a top US Government official. But what is more interesting is the story of Crowley, who serves as Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs and right hand mouthpiece for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. In the recent weeks Crowley made a series of remarks about Egypt, Japan and Bradley Manning that have angered the Secretary of State, the Department of Defense and President Obama. In a recent talk at a MIT social networking event, P.J. Crowley said the way that Bradley Manning’s treatment “is ridiculous and counterproductive and stupid.” The resignation of P.J. Crowley, which was quickly approved by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, is another pivotal moment in the dramatic story of Bradley Manning and Wikileaks. How will the resignation of State Department Spokesman P.J. Crowley impact the unfolding conflict surrounding Wikileaks? How will this turn of events be incorporated into the Wikileaks Movie and Film?
