What about Obama? He is your president. He could tell the military to make the conditions of Bradley Manning better. Why not tell him to do so?

Oh. You already know. Obama will do nothing. Sure. He is president. But he is not running the country. The military is running the country.

Obama has been told by the military to shut up. And that is what he is doing. The puppet, the coward. Obama shuts up.

Of course he shuts up. He is afraid. He knows. If he does not shut up, then he will be killed. Look at John F. Kennedy. He did not listen. They killed him.

Maybe. If we all write a letter to Obama. We tell him how he is in the pockets of the military and then we ask him to show us he is not.

If we do that. Maybe the shithead will tell the military the change the conditions of Bradley Manning. Maybe. A very maybe.

Look. Obama is a true politician. The American people do not know. That is why they elected him. That is why he was made president of the US.

Look. That is a politician. During elections he promises the world to the people. And once in the office he does nothing. He doesn’t care.

A soldier’s honour is his bigest pride.
They can put you in chains, court-martial you or any other facist way to brake you, but in the end, the most importante thing is, in the eyes of millions you will keep your HONOUR because you’ve done the honourable thing.
They will be left with no shred of honour.

For that, I Salute you.

Hi, everyone. Loved reading your comments. I’m soo sick of the amateur psychologists’ b.s. I don’t know Brad but from what I’ve learned (just the facts), he’s nothing like the “news” reports are trying to make him look.

Poor permanently screwed-up kid, his parents got a divorce. That describes at least half the kids in this country! And OMG, he “used big words.” Obviously, he has narcissistic delusions of grandeur. He can’t simply be brilliant. His story reminds me of the sci-fi dystopian hero “Harrison Bergeron,” a short story by Kurt Vonnegut.

Here’s the link to Courage to Resist for info on how how to write Bradley. There’s more

Revealing evidence of war crimes is no crime: to know and not reveal is collusion.

Bradley Manning’s actions were heroic. He did not say “I did not know”

He is a human hero.

He is worthy of love…

from the entire human species.

He is all of us…if we could but find the courage.

History will celebrate him !

In my last post I finished with “the sooner the better!!” I am making my self clear that when I said that I meant that the sooner Bradley Manning is released without charge, the better!

He did absolutely nothing that Daniel Ellsberg didn’t 40 years ago and Ellsberg’s conviction was overturned on Constitutional grounds!!

My hero! What courage this young man has and like many have said here before me…BRADLEY MANNING will go down in history as a hero of all times..those videos he leaked say it all. I only wish I could do something to set him free…maybe just signing the petition will help.
A proud Oklahoman! Thank you Bradley!

I guess that the data mining will get all of us for supporting Bradley Manning. Why charge someone when the government can just put the person in prison now without charges, psychologically destroy the person and intimidate the jury to get a guilty verdict (if the government ever bothers to bring the case to trial)?

I’m trying to figure out who won the presidential election in 2008. I think that one candidate said that he would have a very transparent administration if he won. I guess that he didn’t win.

Bradley Manning has my full support. A very brave and honourable person.
I fear that he will be treated very badly by the USA if recent history is a guide.
The USA has many fine parts to its society but it is falling into a morass of paranoia and pure nastiness.

Is it possible to get a letter or note to Bradley Manning just letting him know you care? I did this sort of thing with Amnesty Int. We know why he is “buried alive”, it would be good to let him know we care.
