    I think the U.S. Of A have a lot to answer for. They go in ‘Guns Blazing’ with no thought to others. A common thing with the U.S. They preach to other countries but never look at what’s going on in their own country. Thank God for Wikileaks!!!!!! Shame on the U.S.

    Wikileaks,

    Would you please get the stuff on the really bad crap that happened under the CIA’s MK-Ultra? If you want the US ”defense” leviathan to go down, get that stuff, and show it.

    It’s demonic.

    The leaking of this information is the one decent thing to have come out of this miserable and disgraceful incident. I am sure that US citizens share with us in the UK the hope that we may be the good guys. The US government response to this proves that we are not at all when our forces are allowed to murder civilians at will. How can we expect to keep our citizens safe from terrorism when we do this stuff. Whether or not US politicians have any decency you would think that having been caught with their pants down they would at least try to look decent. Why are they not prosecuting the murderers?Good luck to Brad, he is a real hero. Wikileaks must survive for the good of all.

    Disgusting. What will US citizens think when we are ravaged by other countries attempting to ”fix” our system based on subjection and opinions? Will the wives and children of these militant murders be spared when we are attacked? We provoke murder and violence on our own soil. The problem is the only ones fighting are the ones that have this mentality, thus making the rest of us appear as cold-hearted demon killers. Death by right to those that make the decisions that should be left to GOD. Killing in the name freedom is still murder. Killing in the name of GOD is still murder. Murder is still murder, no matter the title. These US soldiers are worse than our so-called enemies because not only are they killing children, but they are killing them on their homes. These actions will not be left unchecked. Whether it be in this life or the next.

    Thank you, Brad, for being so much braver than the cowards that pulled the trigger.

    History will remember.

    Bradley has more courage than most.

    The soldiers who shot innocents should be behind bars.

    Justice will prevail.

    ‘In fact, the actions depicted in “Collateral Murder” contain evidence of three violations of the laws of war set forth in the Geneva Conventions, which amount to war crimes.’

    But you don’t understand. Assange, and certainly not Manning, are not employees of the United Nations. If they were, I believe they would recognise each other, but Assange says that he does not know Manning.

    All this just makes me think that Americans have forgotten that American soil can be invaded, like it almost was with Pearl Harbour.

    Maybe it will take the Iraqis to do as what the Japanese once did to wake them up.

    And as it is, the last assaults on American soil have been committed by Middle Easterners.

    This is tricky. You have to allow more Middle Easterners like Iraqis into American soil, if they want to, in order to avoid an assault the proportions of 9-11; but the more you allow in, the greater the risk you run of actually contracting an assault like that.

    Like Deng Xiaoping once said, ‘If you open up the window, some flies naturally get in’.

    Manning seems to be the 1 in 1000 000 who has proven morale. A hero!

    What is discusting is USA and allies reaction to the leaked information. Cover-it-up and punish the ”whistle blower” is the worst of all strategies.

    I’m loosing faith in our leaders. To the rest of the world USA and allies are looking morally crippled, two faced and credibility is evaporating.

    TRANSPARENCY seems to be the only workable tool to mild their power.

    Thank God, or whoever, for Manning, Assange, WikiLeaks and The Net which are democratising information. The leaders we have are apparently not moral beings sufficiently responsible to monopolize information.

    Examples of previous disasters, possible only by manipulating information, show this clearly: Gulag (Stalin), The Great Leap (Mao), Khmer Rouge (Pol Pot), WWII (Hitler), Iraq (Bush), Rwanda, Balkans etc.

    Bradley Manning is a true American hero. If the allegations are true, his actions were extremely courageous and selfless, done wit conscience and integrity. The fact that he languishes in solidarity confinement in a military brig is a travesty, especially when nothing has been done to the murderers of ”collatera murder.”

    If Pres Obama signs his executive order authorizing unlimited detention without trial, revoking the constitutional protection of due process, our hero could spend the rest of his life in a military confinement facility while the attrocities continue on. This should be totally unacceptable to everyone.

    We need to organize rallies all over the country; building a network of support – starting with university campuses and anti war organizations. We need to demonstrate, demonstrate, and demonstrate until we can’t be ignored, forcing the major media to shed some light on this idious crime.
