We are thinking of you, Bradley, and are hoping that they wil release you on probation with “time served”, since the goverment has treated you so abominably. Our hearts are broken over your situation. You are a hero whistleblower, in our opinion, and do not deserve what you are going through. Thank you for disclosing our country’s war crimes to the American people. We are sick of warfare and killing. Please stay strong and know that many Americans support you for your bravery and are sending messages and petitions to our government on your behalf.
Thank you Bradley for being so corageous…our hearts are there for you – lots of love from New Zealand
Thank you Bradley, for what you did for all of us. We will not forget!
Michael from Germany
Don’t have to tell you to be strong and brave tomorrow, Bradley. It’s in your marrow, your heart and soul. Toronto and Canada and all of us here who have believed in you from the get-go will be with you in spirit tomorrow and we will continue to work on your behalf until you are free. Thank you for your courage more than three years ago and for your strength and your courage throughout your imprisonment and your court-martial. Sending you peace and love, love, love. Charlotte
Thank you for your brave and courageous service, Bradley Manning. They know not what they do. Your service and your whistle-blowing should be rewarded.
Please tell me where in NYC there will be a rally. Union Square seems like the logical (usual) place.
I don’t know whether I feel really anxious or just thankful this part time of the process is nearly over for you.
My fingers are crossed for a lenient sentence in view of your bravery.
I am sure you will confront tomorrow with the same grace and stoicism you have shown throughout this trial.
My thoughts are with you from here in Australia.

Sydney AUSTRALIA will Stand with Bradley Manning Thursday 5-30pm 22 Aug AEST in Martin Pl between Castlereagh & Elizabeth Sts.
Occupy Sydney convey our utmost respect for Bradley Manning who has willingly stood up to give the world transparency where his government tried to give us press releases. A Good Government should have nothing to hide from its people.And its people should have no possibility of their privacy being invaded by their government.
Solidarity Bradley Manning
I hereby sentence the corrupt hijacked U.S. government to an eternity of shame for the torturing, raping, maiming and murdering of hundreds-of-thousands of innocent men, women and children; and for abuse, torture and imprisonment of a young American hero who sacrificed his freedom to reveal crucial hidden truths to the American people.
Thank you Bradley for your help!
Only 35 years. Was hoping for 90 but would have been okay with 60, but 35 years. Sad…

When the working class rises up to defend its interests the capitalist shows how barbaric they can be.The working class in a lot of cases have to face death when they lose their battle against the brutality of capitalism.Still in all the working class in all countries will fight until they have got rid of this blood-soaked system of gouernment.
