I’m sickened that our government officials dare to treat Brad Manning and other prisoners so inhumanely. Authorities can do this to anyone based on the suspicions of whatever paranoid control freak is in charge of nabbing “potential terrorists” that day.
Now they’re confiscating laptops and cell phones without warrants, as they did to Jake Applebaum, and snooping through citizens’ personal information. Our constitutional rights are being steadily eroded, yet most Americans behave as if nothing out of the ordinary has happened. It’s surreal. The U.S. isn’t becoming a police state. It is one.
Thank you for reporting the details about the rally, Dr Flowers. Thank you, Courage to Resist and the many demonstrators who showed up. I loved the part about you all marching through the gates Good for you! I hope Brad could hear you. I’ll find out when the next demonstration is and see you there!
Thank you for carrying on the tradition of speaking Truth to Power for the fallen Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the illegally punished Pfc Bradley Manning.

Hope all the best for Bradley Manning. Its unacceptable from human view that one man is tortured for 1 CD-rom. US army is biggest enemy for their own people. Hope for best, more human and less violent america in the future for better common world.

I am 50 yrs old and deeply saddened to see the world in its current state of global conflict. After the fall of the Berlin wall and the opening up of the Eastern block countries I was very optimistic for the future of mankind. Global travel/communications truly were making the world a global village.

Predictably, post the demise of the so called “Russian threat”, soon enough another threat was discovered in Islam, which fortunately was good news for the international arms industry, as a new enemy was conveniently created.
Ironically, the new enemy was a by-product of the USA/Russia cold war era when Russia`s attempt to annexe its neighbor(Afganistan) had to be stopped, so as to secure the middle east/oil supply.
Yet again, the world is becoming very polarised with the most extreme viewpoints having only one thing in common, meglomania!
Sadly the other 95% of us are in the middle, and if we do not do make a concerted effort to break down barriers and get along the time will come when you will not be able to “sit on the fence” .
The internet is one such vehicle which will help to breakthrough barriers, in particular the ascent of websites such as Wikileaks, which Governments have very limited control over,could possibly reinstate true Democratic Government, governance which serves the people.
Reallistically, we will need an army of Bradley Manning`s to reveal the powerbase pulling the strings behind Government.
Alas, history shows us how quickly an army can be mustered when a just cause is presented.
Peace to all, Sam Brad.
‘Bad things happen when good people do nothing’ I don’t know who said this, but it is significant to what is happening to Pfc Bradley Manning. Thank you for making a protest and speaking up for justice. I will continue to do so.
@Pauline: Thanks for the quote. It made me realise WHY our central government is treating Bradley Manning the way it is. Because it wants good people to do nothing! And let those inside the government to continue their doings of evil.

Hi Sam
I am soon to be 53 and also my youthful idealism is nearly shot!
All the hopes of the freedom movements in Central America, Guatemala, Nicaragua, the fall of the dictators, then fall of the Iron curtain, seems to have clouded over in the last 5 or so years.
I read Naomi Klein, John Pilger, Chomsky, perhaps these are voices in the wilderness, but my despair is very soon turning to anger and a desire to express myself and act.
I want to show solidarity with Bradley Manning and I cannot do so any other way. Yet to do nothing is not an option. I have very little power or status in this world.
But I live here as conscious aware being, sickened with propaganda and manipulation. My heart rejoices at the events in Egypt now, I hope the world wakes up and the interest of the many trumps the self-centered interests of the greedy, powerful few.
I wish I could have been there with you. Thank you for carrying-on for King and us.
