I have just read about the plight of Bradley Manning in the Flemish newspaper DE MORGEN in Belgium, and am shocked at the conditions he is kept in (as I am shocked also for the reason of his arrest). I guess he is not allowed to receive email? If so, I would be glad to correspond with him.

I have searched your website and responded to several pages, but what seems to be worrying to me is that about 4 or 5 of my emails came back as ‘undeliverable’. Are we being sabotaged already??

All good wishes with your fight, which I am prepared to join – have donated 100 $.

Is it wrong to break law if you are trying to protect innocent children? Is it really wrong to give out military videos if you are trying to protect those who cannot protect them selves?

Bradley Manning, you may be thought of as of a criminal now, but the truth will prevail and someday you will be thought of what you really are, a HERO WHO RISKED HIS OWN FREEDOM TO HELP PROTECT LIVES OF THOSE WHO COULDN’T PROTECT THEMSELVES!

I am bad at writing, so the above lines basically summarize what I wanted to say for those who don’t want to read the whole stuff bellow.

Unfortunately, laws do not consider “reason”. Unless some miracles happens (presidential pardon, or some other miracle) Bradley will most likely be convicted. If law allowed for “reason”, such as it would be lawfull to break law and distribute classified information in order to help prevent killings of civilians then obviously he would be found innocent or even not charged or imprisoned. But as of now, the sad truth is that this hero may be found guilty, I would say he will most likely be found guilty. Maybe some day laws will be changed so heroes will be protected in cases like this since they are acting in order to save innocent lifes. But as of now, even though many of us feel that he is a hero, many others will say that he broke military laws and released classified information, they’ll say that he did something bad because he broke law. I was borned and raised in a communist country. Many people fought against the communist government. Many of them were imprisoned, tortured. My uncle (R.I.P.) was imprisoned and tortured just for the fact that he was in my home country’s underground army during World War II, fighting to free my home country from Germans. After World War II, Russian tyrany was ruling my country and the underground army members were thought of as enemies of the country. They were imprisoned, tortured, often sentected to death. Many civilians thought of them as of criminals because the law said that they were fighting against my home country. After the fall of communism, these soldiers became heroes. There are no more laws saying that they were the bad guys. This is the change that is needed right here, right now. Laws need to be changed so if someone acts to prevent killings of innocent, they will not be prosecuted or imprisoned. This hero here did not sell any military information that would endanger the U.S. army or the American nation. He did not sell or give out plans on how to build nuclear weapons to terrorists. The laws that the army is using against him were raised to protect the army and the American nation. He did not do anything to put the army or the nation in danger. Unfortunately, someone forgot to put some additional clauses in law, so to protect people who give out non safety related army information that would help save civilians, to not imprison or trial those people. It seems that the people in charge in the army are simply having revange on this hero, just because they could find a paragraph that would put him in prison. At first when I watched they video of those civilians being killed I thought “oh well, it’s war, it’s not like they meant it” (even thought they laugh at the dead and take pride of “good shooting”). But this made me think, what if we had a war here in United States, what if lets say we had a civil war and army happened to sometimes kill civilians. What if it was my children? Or my neighbours? The thought is very chilling….. even though I don’t have children. Someone may say “well, if you’re not a terrorist you got nothing to worry about”. My uncle was not a terrorist either when he jump out of a window to commit a suiciede while being tortured by the communist. He was thought to be, be the government back then, but not by the current government. Many will say that this hero did something wrong, he broke the law, but……. was he really wrong to do that when he tried to save innocent?
