Bradley Manning's Legal Duty to Expose War Crimes

[sabrina 1]

139. You're seriously defending Cheney now? The Constitution is the Statute, the law of the

land, that was violated by Cheney when he lied to get this country into war. Since the Constitution is specific about when this country should get into a war, and Cheney took the oath to protect and defend the Constitution, that is what he violated. If he did not, a trial would have revealed that, wouldn't it? But when someone is suspected of a major crime and there is evidence that they have committed that crime, they are generally charged with the crime.

He has publicly stated 'I would do it again' wrt to ordering torture. I believe we have laws against torture. We certainly are a party to International laws against torture.

Here, let me make it simply for you. If someone hires a hitman to murder someone else, their spouse, boss etc even though they are nowhere near the scene of the crime themselves (and we know Cheney would never be found anywhere near a war zone) that person will be charged with murder.


Cheney has admitted that he ordered torture, and that he 'would do it again'. He also ordered the outing of Valerie Plame a crime of treason according to most legal experts. HE should have been charged with that crime. Instead others were able to cover for him, obstructing justice was the charge against them. Preventing the prosecutor from holding Cheney accountable by lying. Libby was convicted remember?

You are free to defend Cheney all you want, but the world knows who lied us into war, we SAW him lie, publicly, over and over again.

The man is a war criminal, undicted so far, but hopefully someone with the guts to do it will prosecute him one day.
