The Obama Administration has been a huge disappointment regarding it’s position on ‘Whistleblowers’.
They say they support transparency in government and then they prosecute those who expose information. Then there the issue of ‘indefinite detention through NDAA’. It’s an alarming trend. The death of Adnan Latif who was imprisoned for 11 years without ever being charged should compel us to confront honestly the human toll of the Guantánamo prison — now approaching its 12th year in operation. We can start this reckoning by releasing the 86 other men at Guantánamo who the United States government has concluded no longer deserve to be jailed there.

Bradley Manning is a true American Hero for showing America America’s TRAITORS. There should be a statue of him along side of Rosa Parks statue. Revealing crime should never be a crime regardless of who the criminal is. If the truth hurts so be it.

TODAY: President Obama unveils statue for civil disobedience at the Capitol!

Decades ago Rosa Parks broke the law to fight for freedom. Manning deserves the same.

I know it was just a movie but in “A Few Good Men” it demonstrates punishment for following a bad order. It shows that the military wants you to do as told but it also wants you to decide right from wrong. I think that demonstrates what they are doing to Manning. We were doing wrong, he did right, he is the one being punished. I am often ashamed of our governmental decisions and their motives for those decisions.

I’m afraid after Obama made the remark that what he did was wrong, it’s almost impossible for Bradley to get a fair trial. Obama said he would protect whistleblowers but has punished more than all previous presidents before him. It makes me sick that he has done this, really it’s just a ploy to control information in our country.Bradley needs to be honored for what he did not punished!

Does this “Judge” not have to explain and justify her decisions on the basis of military law and precedent? 1,000 days does seem considerably longer than is reasonable – what does Rule for Court Martial (RCM) 707 actually say on what is reasonable? Nothing like a staged trial!!

I find it amazing that with all the crimal activity exposed by Wikileaks and all the laws broken to get Manning, the only one being punished is Manning. What happened to my country? I want my country back.
