[Abdul Alhazred]

Bradley Manning supporters welcome UK government's expression of concern

...

While acknowledging that Manning's lawyer has stated that he does not hold a British passport or consider himself to be British, the minister stressed that the soldier "is British by descent" despite being born in the US, thanks to his mother's nationality.

Silly question. By default everything is your fault. That's why we blame Lisa.

We should always be concerned that people are not inhumanely mistreated. So do you think he is?

No, that was our fault (or at least that of the late Maj Ivan Hirst)...

Government officials and Quantico Marine base have blocked official visits to PFC. Bradley Manning by Rep. Dennis Kucinich, Amnesty International, and the UN Special Rappateur on torture.

Sucks to be him.

Maybe sending all those files to wikileaks wasn't such a good idea, eh?

 

[Travis]

If he's being kept naked it's probably a suicide prevention measure. Considering he's looking at a sentence of at least twenty years because of his frivolous decision to be rebellious that might be a good idea.

yes, when one reveals the truth and embarrass powerful people, the payback is a bitch.

It sucks a lot less if you do it in a legal manner...
