Dear Madam or Sir,
Bradley Manning is a prisoner of conscience. His only “crime” was to blow the whistle on war crimes being committed by the U.S. Military.
Not only does he disserve the Nobel Peace Prize for his principled actions, but awarding the Peace Prize to him might actually save his life. It will be very difficult for the U.S. to execute him, or to imprison him for life (which the U.S. seems intent on doing), if he has the status of Nobel Laureate.
Therefore, I strongly encourage you to award Bradley Manning the Nobel Peace Prize in 2012.
Sincerely,
Stephen A. Justino, Esq.
