Now a few -- of our freedom files it's not a secret that governments want people aspire view.

But they'd rather you didn't know about how they were going inspire -- Last month governments were all over the world gathered at the intelligence support systems conference where else.

Washington DC to talk about the latest in surveillance technology and computers spyware.

But the proceedings of these meetings are highly secretive.

Chris so -- yen attended a conference like this while an employee at the Federal Trade Commission in 2009.

And recorded some of the seminars but when he publish those recordings on line he was placed under investigation.

And ultimately lost his job.

Proving it is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong.

Fox News is intrepid Catherine Herridge reports that military lawyers for suspected 9/11 planners who are being held at Guantanamo Bay are accusing the defense that part.

-- of routinely opening reading and even confiscating correspondence.

Between the detainees and their lawyers.

Who has spent the last year under house arrest in England while awaiting extradition to Sweden lost a court battle this week to stay in the United Kingdom.

Assange faces accusations that sexual assault and sweep.

Accusations that curiously a rose only after -- -- leaked classified documents that -- embarrass governments around the world.

Meanwhile Assange has yet to be charged with a a crime.

In Sweden after more than a year now.

Such a charge is an absolute for Iraq was it for extradition.

Unless of course the government of the country that has.

And the government of the country that once you hates and fears -- Then you lose your rights.
