He is being used as an example. Don't mess with us because we have the power and you have nothing. Welcome to the USSA.

Remember when the Bushies insisted that denying the "terrists" in Guantanamo the right of habeas corpus would have no impact on American citizens?

And the Republicans tell us that George ISNT a war Criminal,
Could they also explain why George will not go overseas anymore!
or Rumsfeld or Cheney, or any of the other members of his Cabinet!
Bradley Manning is in fact the Greatest American Hero of at least the 21 Century!

It's probably too late for a new American Revolution. What will bring this evil monstrosity down is economic collapse.
