Bradley Manning a thoroughly decent American

Post by ToughGong »

Bradley Manning, the 23-year-old Army private accused of leaking classified information to Wikileaks, has been held in the brig at Quantico Marine Corp Base for five months in inhumane conditions, with severe restrictions on his ability to exercise, communicate, or even sleep. Manning has not been convicted of any crime. Nor is there a date certain for any court hearing.

The conditions of Bradley Manning’s confinement became a top issue in the press last week as bloggers traded blows with US officials over allegations that Manning endures inhumane treatment at the Quantico, VA detainment facility. In the midst of this rush by the Defense Department to contextualize Manning’s confinement, I traveled to see the man himself at the Marine Corps detainment facility in Quantico, VA.

Leaking sensitive information just because you can, doesn't make you decent, it makes you a traitor. Ellsberg was a hero, this guy is a liitle shit.He was sad about DADT :cry: so he thought he'd betray his country.

Being a good citizen and being a good human being sometimes need to be mutualy exclusive m8
It is a brave person who discloses governmental wrongdoings.
Neways what's the difference in leaking wrongdoings in the Vietnam war(Ellsberg ),and wrongdoing in the Afghan war(Manning)
