Well done Alex, what you said is the very truth, indeed there is no freedom of telling the truth, there is no democracy.

The abhorant treatment of this hero makes me sick and enbassassed to be an American. how is it that we tell ourselves and other countries that we are “…the land of the free and the home of the brave” , that we are just and should be enbraced when we commit war crimes AGAINST our own people. i have always been proud to be an American but this is the last straw. until Bradly Manning is FREE, this is one American who can no longer sing The Star Spangled Banner. God forgive America is my new anthem.

Don’t blame the messenger for the message! We’re supposed to be more civilized than that.

Although I am unwilling to become a member of the “Avaaz.org community” I am a member of the Bradley Manning’s support network and I agree with Daniel Ellsberg that …

- Bradley was held in pre-trial solitary confinement for 11 months, in conditions condemned by the UN Rapporteur on Torture as “cruel, inhuman and degrading,”

- Both President Obama and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dempsey have declared publicly, prior to trial, that Bradley “broke the law.”

- Article 10 of the UCMJ promises defendants a speedy trial … his court-martial trial has yet to start.

- The prosecution has withheld key evidence

And I call on Judge Lind to acknowledge the outrageous government conduct in Bradley’s case, and dismiss the charges against him, and tell President Obama to pardon him in the event of any conviction!

Sincerely,

John, I believe you mean the American government’s hipocrisy. Both parties are at fault and act as puppets for major corporations

What I saw on the video of the helicopter firing indiscriminately at a group of men and, later, firing at the van and the people trying to help one of the wounded men was nothing more than acts of cowardice and thirst for blood. Bradley Manning is a true American hero for letting the world know about these shameful acts. Free Bradley Manning.

This case is indicative of the Obama Administration’s hypocrisy.

Free Bradley Manning is one of the few American heroes, and deserves to be freed. His actions are courageous in the persuit of truth
