I’ve had the privilege of hearing Daniel Ellsberg speak on the Bradley Manning case in Berkeley and hope to interest more people in it where I live; will talk about this tomorrow at a ‘Write for Rights’ in the Unitarian-Universalist Church in NOrth Hatley.

America has fallen off the wagon of moral values and has devalued those “American values” than ever before. Nixon was forced to resign for obstruction of justice, now not ever war crimes register on our moral radars and to add salt to injury, those who try to defend are prosecuted like terrorist, when in reality should be given medals and promotions, while at the same time, our war crminals are allowed to roam free and collecting socialist for life pensions. And to make matters worse, we torture those who defend this frail democracy of ours. Let Manning go, let Julian Assange go and America the beautiful will thank you for. We need more liberty, not less, we need more transparency, no darkness, we need more democracy, no tyranny.

Why do people need to judge a man not by his actions, which definitely caused by patriotic feelings, but by his personal qualities, such as sexual orientation? Yes, some of LGBT people support Manning because he stands against DADT policy. But when others say “Oh, he’s just a f**, why do we need to hear about him?”, I start to think that there’s something wrong with people if they have such pity reason to dislike.

I just watched a video of private life of Braley, and knonw more about him.
Though he was rebel in his early age, he became a real man now, the hero for fighting, Equality, Freedom, gay and lesbian rights.
Just hold on, man, the weight of the world will you the strength to!

More people should support PVT Manning. I am surprised that money has to be raised to find him a lawyer, certainly there must be at least one lawyer in the US with a conscience!
As for the fact that they are brining in claim of him doing it because he is “GAY”, that truly means they have nothing against him and only trying to make him look/sound less heroic. Any person, news reporter, judge that brings claims against him for his sexuality, is not looking at the facts. From what I have read, the US should not allow him to be locked up or stand trial.
I have read the news reports and this article, and from what I can gather is that he leaked information to news agencies, therefore he did not leak info to the enemy. If the news reporters have leaked the info, they should stand trial to.
I would like to hear the President of the US comment on PVT Manning’s ordeal.

Thank you, Bill. I don’t feel heroic, just gratified that I’m part of a big group of people doing something that desperately needs doing.

I’m in Slovakia because I live living here. More information about that can be found, easily, by googling my name. I try not to mix my other politics with the work I do toward Bradley Manning’s cause.

The first time I read or heard about PVT Manning’s unfortunate situation, I tought of him as a true hero, because when some one enlists, he/she swears to uphold the Constitution. Not the generals, not the president, but the Constitution and from where I sit, that means that law and order trump political agendas or special interests, but later on I also read that his motives were not that pure, but that his sexuality was the real motive and that cheapened his stand. That said, I’m also against him being jailed. He, if any thing, should be given a letter of reprimand. It’s unbelievable to see some one in jail and our war criminals let go free. Something is definite rotten in today’s America and cases like this one that reminds me that the slippery slope that America is embarked on is not where we should be heading. Democracy is best in the worst of times. Let’s bring back the Constitution.
