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.
]]>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.
]]>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’.
]]>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.
]]>Bradley has more courage than most.
The soldiers who shot innocents should be behind bars.
Justice will prevail.
