1. Thank you. Finally. We need international attention on this. n/t

2. I hope the international pressure does some good.

Perhaps, with the Army's admission from yesterday (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/41241414/ns/us_news-wikileaks_in_security) it might.

10. I am so confused. In the same article where the military claims that it is not torturing Manning...

You pluck out the parts where they can't "link" Manning to Assange.

If one is true is the other?

This has become more than absurd. It's hilarious.

11. Both are true. The military claims they aren't mistreating Brad AND

they have admitted they can't tie Manning to Assange.

And, since then, the commander who claimed he wasn't mistreating Brad has been replaced.

12. This is all just too much

A shame that AI would poke their head into this tent.


When I see a sworn affidavit or, fuck, a nicely written note that truthfully and accurately explains the "conditions" that Manning is living with, then I might give a FF.

But there is only innuendo and tears. :(

13. Well, something happened because it moved big bad Marines.n/t

7. Yes . . . didn't get a chance to post that link yet

Yes, I'm aware that the commandant has been replaced. I posted the article from a couple of days ago because, from what I saw in another thread on this topic, so many DU'ers seem to be totally unaware of what has been going on.

9. Imo, the repetition is helpful.

Thanks, Mark.
