Bradley Manning and his sister during Thanksgiving dinner. This weekend, supporters will host dinners in his honor all around the world.

Support for Bradley Manning’s freedom and for the protection of whistleblowers generally is growing every day. The Council of Europe recently released a report condemning the “cult of secrecy” that shields war crimes and calling for the enhanced protection of whistleblowers everywhere. The report singles out Bradley Manning as an alleged “whistleblower [who] should be treated as such,” and to whom we are “indebted.”

Kevin Zeese interviewed on libertarian show Free Talk Live two days ago to talk about Bradley Manning. A recording of his interview is available here.
