To Fellow Citizens who love the America we had when justice was the law of the land: The Bradley Manning case is just another black mark against our being considered among the list of civilized countries in the world. First the photos from Abu Ghraib, the treatment of suspected criminals when transferred to black holes of detention in foreign contries where torture is commonnly practiced so their human rights can be denied, and now the unbelievable daily humiliation and degredation of Bradley Manning. Obviously this inhuman treatment of isolation and refusal to allow him clothing are designed to break his spirit and health, all crimes against the Geneva Convention of prisoner of war rights. Bill Mahr exposed these infringements on his HBO program last week with great support from the audience for his statements. Please call your Senators and Representatives by the thousands! Please march to take a stand! Please pressure ACLU to come forward, also MoveOn and any other progressive movement you are aware of. A few scattered voices are not enough to rectify a military wrong doing. Every week that goes by is a public disgrace to America and the rights we so proudly stand for.

It seems that Mr. Latwaitis here didn’t care 4 the Note I posted earlier on fb w/my letter 2 Sec. Gates about Bradley. He sent this private msg 2 my inbox:

“When you break the law, there are consequences. This man leaked classified military info to the public. That’s a serious crime under UCMJ (look it up). They don’t receive personal constitutional rights that you and I have. Educate yourself before going on looking like a dummy.”

Hmm…what do YOU guys think? I encourage u to contact him directly, as he did with me, and share your views.

Question: Mr. Manning’s father said in his interview that Bradley is NOT being tortured. Bradley’s lawyer has stated that Bradley is NOT forced to stand at attention naked but rahter is allowed to wrap himself in a blanket when standing to collect/turn in his clothing. So WHERE ARE YOU GETTING THIS CRAP??? You have NOTHING to back up your position so you are making this stuff up just to advance your sick cause. I dont mind you printing the TRUTH and if it was the TRUTH I would be not only donating money to help this kid out but would join you on your public protest at the gates at Quantico. Problem is 75% of everything you print is a LIE. You are making yourself look stupid and making Bradley look like a weak cry baby. Let him be a man, support his with your money to his lawyer if you believe in his cause. Stop your lies! Demand ONLY that he be removed from his POI status and that he be put in a larger cell rather than the small cage he is in now. Do this right and it will help the kid out. Right now your just pissing people off. And tell Bradley to continue to be the model inmate his lawyer says he is. That is his BEST case to get his status changed! May justice win.

(Another letter sent to the President today.)

Mr. President,

Please properly investigate the possible/probable inhumane treatment of PFC Bradley E. Manning, being detained in the United States Marine Corps Quantico Brig in Virginia.

Common sense tells the conscience that possible/probable inhumane treatment must be fully investigated.

Facts of the case, as reported by David Coombs, PFC Manning’s defense lawyer, indicate that:

Pentagon Press Secretary Geoff Morrel has stated that PFC Manning has been a model detainee.

Brig forensic psychiatrists have continually stated that there’s no mental health justifications for the extreme conditions of PFC Manning’s detainment.

Quantico Commander Colonel Daniel Choike has denied a fair request by PFC Manning to be removed from the medically unnecessary extreme current conditions of his detainment.

Chief Warrant Officer Denise Barnes used a sarcastic remark made by PFC Manning, (referring to the waistband in his shorts), as a unfair convenient excuse to unjustifiably further increase the extreme conditions of PFC Manning’s detainment, with no contact of, nor recommendations from, the mental health staff to do so.

The Brig (excluding mental health staff as they don’t recommend the extreme current conditions) is using loopholes in policies to unfairly increase the extreme conditions of PFC Manning’s detainment.

These extreme conditions, inconsistencies between policies, and possible/probable abuse of authority, must be investigated.

The communication and exercise and sleep of PFC Manning is being severely restricted to the viable concern of inhumaneness.

Hence, to now rely on the sole assurance of those allegedly behind this alleged mistreatment, does nothing to justly bring the truth to light.

Our country’s principles of conscientiousness, deserve to have a serious matter such as this be fully investigated by unbiased independent third parties.

Again, please properly investigate the possible/probable inhumane treatment of PFC Bradley Manning.

Anything less falls short of truth and justness, and hence the American way, as your words so often convey.

Sincerely,

Sally Kline

There are “common people”, and then there are heroes–who, when given the choice take a stand for truth, liberty and the pursuit of happiness instead of personal profit; take a stand for making this world a better place instead of following the beaten path of “trampling on the weak for personal profit”; take a stand for the belief that truth is worth living for; take a stand for the rest of “human-kind” even in spite of the grave possibility that greed-led “human-kind” trapped in a self destructive rat-race will reward their actions with ridicule, false accusations and even martyrdom; expecting nothing in return–take a stand for you and me.
Will we watch in silence while the inertia of our society destroys those who dare to think differently?
Will we be a cog in the gear of the machine we call society that makes martyrs out of those who dare to believe that there could be a better way to do things?

Take a stand for truth,

David G. Mayo (Germany)

Hi Amy, Hi Martin,

There is actually quite a lot you can do. Bradley Manning is UK/US dual citizen so the UK does have a responsibility to intervene here. As of yet, Bradley has not even been offered consular assistance (basic oversight of his conditions and a prison visit etc), which is scandalous and something the UK Government needs to be pulled up on, bigtime.

This is a situation in which a letter to your MP can make a very big difference. For more information on what you should write, and what we’re doing in the UK to help Bradley, please visit us at one of the following locations:

We’ll also be demonstrating outside the US embassy on 20th March.

All the best,

Naomi
