I completely agree. The information supposedly leaked by Bradley Manning has shown just how badly we need to keep pressuring the government for transparency. Obama started his administration with a promise for increased accountability and transparency, even praising “whistle-blowers”. We need to keep pressuring him to follow through on his promise. So far he’s done exactly the opposite.

Not only did Bradley Manning expose and bring into question our actions broad, but he also helped bring the troops home.

I really hope we can return the favor and help free him.

Well not only did it make a difference…..it forcefeed every idealistic patriot of these United States the sad fact: We have become nothing more than a bullying country. One that seems to have lost it’s way. If not for Bradley Manning and those like him the men who hold positions of power in this country would absolutely have no elective memory such as those in Collateral Murder.
