243. You DO know that if you travel to a foreign country, then are accused of committing an offense

in said country, it is irrelevant whether you are a citizen of said country or not? Or is that concept just a tad too, I don't know, difficult to grasp?

"You do know Bradley Manning was held in solitary confinement until "about April 2011, (when) 295 academics – many of them prominent American legal scholars – signed a letter arguing that the detention conditions violated the United States Constitution." There were claims that the US treatment constituted torture and Manning's mental stability was a cause of concern after such treatment?"

Irrelevant and non-responsive to my reply.

"You really think this is a simple matter of just going to Sweden and "clearing up the matter...?" Really? REALLY? How Adorable."

No, I "think" precisely what I posted: he should go to Sweden and confront his accusers, and thereby clear the matter up. Not much "simple" about it other than making himself available in Sweden to do just that.

Another thing I think is that you should exercise some civility when talking to your fellow DU'ers, and cease putting words in their mouths, stop talking about irrelevant matters that do not address what they originally replied about, etc., etc.

You will not, as anonymity on a discussion board tends to make those who delight in snarling at others who do not share their precise views 100% bold. But it's just a suggestion.
