Accused of giving classified material to WikiLeaks, Bradley Manning has now been in pre-trial confinement for 560 days. He has been exposed to harsh conditions while in custody, including solitary confinement and forced nudity. Rights groups like Amnesty International and the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Torture have drawn attention to Manning’s case and treatment – and the arrest of three activists protesting in support of Manning has drawn additional attention – but the U.S. government still has not set a date for Manning’s trial.
Rule of law in America???? hahahaha, no. We have 5% of the world's population and over a quarter of teh world's prisoners in the land of the free: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/23/world/americas/…
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.
The LAND OF THE FREE?
Enough to make the Founders of this nation turn over in their graves.
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.
