A question about Bradley Manning -

[hedgehog]

regardless of his guilt or innocence, how is it those responsible for his unlawful treatment during detention and his failure to get a speedy trial are themselves not under some type of indictment?

1. Great question! The media needs to pay more attention to the fact that he is being abused everyday.

He has said he wants to kill himself. Not good America, not good.

2. I think that is a very valid question and must be dealt with.

Some form of investigation into his treatment needs to be done. I am sure it will be limited, like asking the police to investigate themselves. Mannings guilt or innocents and his treatment are two totally different questions. I could be wrong but I do think that he gave up his right to a speedy trial. I could be wrong, and if I am, I will shortly be corrected.

3. Manning waived the speedy trial to give his lawyers more time (nt)
