‘Commander in Chief Obama’ did not sell us out. All those who voted for Obama four years ago sold us out. Obama clearly indicated his intentions to escalate the violence in Afghanistan/Pakistan and obey the bidding of Israel when he was on the campaign trail, but alas, many did not hear what they chose not to hear.

Where is the commander and chief in all of this someone asked? Obama already declared Brad guilty many months ago in the forum of the Big Media Machine. Sadly for Brad and for all of us, he’ll receive no fair hearing after that happened.

This is sad to hear. I have admired the US and its citizens for their vigorous support of free speech and other consitutional rights. I hope that the judge will allow the public to be present where material already in the public domain is being scrutinised/discussed.

Justice must be seen to be done, right?

I support Breanna Manning. There’s lots of info that Bradley Manning is transgender, female-identified, and prefers the name Breanna. Let’s help really support her & call her by her preferred name.

Tim who posted a comment 12.19.11 @ 1:25 pm speaks about no-brainers. Well, he should know, I suppose. Yes, Manning swore an oath to uphold and protect the Constitution, not an oath to protect criminals. The soldiers who murdered innocent civilians are criminals. The military industrial complex bosses who ignore and cover up those crimes are also criminals. Homeland Security director Jane Napolitano has told the nation, “if you SEE something, SAY something.” Someone, whether it was Manning or some other person, saw criminal wrongdoing and brought it to light. Id est, s/he SAW something and SAID something. This is what is meant by protecting the Constitution from all enemies, both foreign AND DOMESTIC.

While we should be concerned about the media blackout, we should also take note of the negative coverage pervading the airwaves.

Let’s face it…Manning’s leadership failed him, he should have never been deployed.

Tim, Bradley swore to uphold and defend the Constitution, not the government in accordance with the UCMJ. His oath as mine put us under the obligation among many things to stop/expose crimes. He did he best he could.
“The turning point for Manning apparently came when he was ordered to investigate the arrest of Iraqis for the distribution of “anti Iraq” literature by the Iraqi Federal Police. When Manning discovered that the literature in question was a “benign political critique” of Iraq Prime Minister Al-Maliki, Manning reported the incident to Army superiors who told Manning “to shut up.” Manning apparently then began to leak classified materials in an effort to “do the right thing.”

51% VOTING MAJORITY — EXCESSIVE WEALTH HAS SPOKEN

Tim 51%
“For one, it’s not a secret trial…
Manning was/is a pissed off punk…
He probably did this out of spite…
in his mental la-la land that he thought no one would know he did it…
He violated that oath (to kill when ordered to) and should be prosecuted…
Whether you think… the war was justified, this is immaterial…”

LIGHT
Now is above Tim of the slow and careful thinking laboring-class, the 49% with no education beyond some high school?

Surely not, so Tim is of the 51% who happen to be the most educated and wealthy in Empire USA, the 51% voting majority who own all the wealth and love to vote in a way that best enslaves the impoverished lower half.

For exactly what has Bradley Manning done that so upsets Tim?

Well, without Manning our troops would still be occupying Iraq and all those billions and billions of barrows of oil would forever be inflating the profits oi Tim’s 401k plan

Without Manning, Egypt would not be on the verge of charging Israel full price for all the natural gas being piped to Israel, Egypt would not now be about to open the prison gates of Gaza and all the harm Manning has done to Tim’s 401k plan — surely Tim is now “a pissed off punk.”
