Thank God somebody is speaking up. Obama must know that Bradley Manning was given orders to do something despicable and is now determined to punish him for telling the truth. A mistake has been made by the US Military, Do the grown up thing and admit it.

Bradley Manning accused of treason, recieving no less then a roach does, watching and waiting for the next being to come in and torture him, no time to rest, Alone and Hurt. Innocent and unproven accusation’s. Discriminated against by Obama.

Many Americans have not yet fully realized the implications of the loss of rights. My own experiences in the Army and with civilian authorities. Have proven to me that Americans no longer have the rights they once had, or did we ever?

There are millions of other abuses that have happened and currently ongoing against the American people by US authorities, not to mention activities in other countries.

Bradly Manning is a perfect example of were things have gone. Laws enacted without discloser (patriot act 2), new laws that eliminate and or circumvent constitutional law. Refusal to follow the Geneva Convention, for which has been signed and agreed upon by the US Authorities. Refusal to sign into affect new versions of the Geneva Convention, of which the majority of the world has signed and agreed upon.

Bradly Manning should be a wake up call to the American People. Allowing abuses to continue, basic human rights will continue to erode.

Americans better stop looking the other way, in the hopes to not attract attention, and let it happen to the other guy. Soon, perhaps sooner than you think, it will be your turn. I suggest that people research the famous, Nazi “Protective Custody Warrants”.

History is bound to repeat it self. The American People need to take action, and start holding the Authorities Accountable for there actions, and put a stop to the American Authorities use of abusive powers.

If the American People do not save Bradly Manning, there will be no one left to safe the American People.

I think that very few American or British thinking people will ever be able to trust The US claim to respect justice after this, the slamming down of the ‘phone Deb was an admission of the discomfort their guilt is visiting on them.

I just called Jeh Johnson’s office, a Sara, answered. I introduced myself and didn’t get half of the first sentence out of my mouth before she slammed the phone in my ear.

The treatment given to Bradley Manning in Quantico was despicable. it deprived him of his human rights, subjected him to humiliation on the basis of his sexual orientation, and broke the US Constitution’s “guarantee” against “cruel and unusual punishment”.

The rationale for the mistreatment was, aside from sadistic disregard for his humanity, the desire to break his resistance so that he would plead guilty to any charges and thereby make life easier for the Army and any VIP witnesses he might call during his court martial.

In accordance with his quiet heroism, Manning did not break under torture, but held to his determination to plead his innocence and stand trial.

President Obama should pardon Bradley Manning immediately, and bring to an end this discreditable charade of “American justice”.
