Hi, everyone. Loved reading your comments. I’m soo sick of the amateur psychologists’ b.s. I don’t know Brad but from what I’ve learned (just the facts), he’s nothing like the ”news” reports are trying to make him look.

Poor permanently screwed-up kid, his parents got a divorce. That describes at least half the kids in this country! And OMG, he ”used big words.” Obviously, he has narcissistic delusions of grandeur. He can’t simply be brilliant. His story reminds me of the sci-fi dystopian hero ”Harrison Bergeron,” a short story by Kurt Vonnegut.

Here’s the link to Courage to Resist for info on how how to write Bradley. There’s more

Revealing evidence of war crimes is no crime: to know and not reveal is collusion.

Bradley Manning’s actions were heroic. He did not say ”I did not know”

He is a human hero.

He is worthy of love…

from the entire human species.

He is all of us…if we could but find the courage.

History will celebrate him !

In my last post I finished with ”the sooner the better!!” I am making my self clear that when I said that I meant that the sooner Bradley Manning is released without charge, the better!

He did absolutely nothing that Daniel Ellsberg didn’t 40 years ago and Ellsberg’s conviction was overturned on Constitutional grounds!!

My hero! What courage this young man has and like many have said here before me…BRADLEY MANNING will go down in history as a hero of all times..those videos he leaked say it all. I only wish I could do something to set him free…maybe just signing the petition will help.
A proud Oklahoman! Thank you Bradley!

I guess that the data mining will get all of us for supporting Bradley Manning. Why charge someone when the government can just put the person in prison now without charges, psychologically destroy the person and intimidate the jury to get a guilty verdict (if the government ever bothers to bring the case to trial)?

I’m trying to figure out who won the presidential election in 2008. I think that one candidate said that he would have a very transparent administration if he won. I guess that he didn’t win.

Bradley Manning has my full support. A very brave and honourable person.
I fear that he will be treated very badly by the USA if recent history is a guide.
The USA has many fine parts to its society but it is falling into a morass of paranoia and pure nastiness.

Is it possible to get a letter or note to Bradley Manning just letting him know you care? I did this sort of thing with Amnesty Int. We know why he is ”buried alive”, it would be good to let him know we care.

Pfc Bradley Manning is a true hero! And far too many people regard him as a ”traitor.” He has yet to be charged – when the government gets around to it eventually, he will be given an Article 32 session which is similar to a grand jury proceeding before he is charged with any offense. So why is he undergoing a psychic crucifixion? Because that’s exactly what his solitary confinement is! As for those who claim he was on a suicide watch, now a POI watch, I say this: those watches appear to be excuses and our out-of-control government is intent on BREAKING him.

All our freedoms are on the line including the Second Amendment which the conservatives (along with a lot of others) cherish if Bradley Manning is not released without charge — the sooner the better!

Birgit,

Governments have never worked for the good of the people, unless they’re the people inside of government. As for governing bodies outside of government, they’ve never worked for the good of government too– only for themselves.

Our world needs more people like Bradley Manning!
All the governments are corrupt, and do not work for the good of their people anymore.
Free Bradley Manning, and don’t treat him like a criminal!
