Bradley Manning confidant David House reports on the alleged whistle-blower's confinement

[WilliamRLazenby]

Expose them Dave!

[Latisha2004]

I really think this guy wants his 60s of fame..when is his book coming out? He seems like he is out for himself

[olivier93fryou]

What for an asshole, this TV speaker !

[guccione2]

Bradley Manning chose to do an ethical act over being part of the brutal killing of hundreds of thousands of women and children by the hands of his bosses. He is a hero

[Mspape1234]

I am Bradley Manning

[nickgonewalkabout]

an ethical giant of our generation

[Simm2Dimm]

that reporter was a little 2 interested in linking manning to Assange

[asynkronos]

I am Bradley Manning. I'm an RN and human rights activist.

[Itachi21x]

this guy desevers the nobel peace price and not obama...

[IamBradleyAssange]

@ 3.35, you betcha david..could have pushed me anytime ; )

[RedRiverChannel]

SOOOOOOOOOOO.

Okay. Le't s say he deserved it (which he didnt in my opinion) but let's say so.

Now, what about the info he leaked? About the US warcrimes?

Oh, they wont face justice but bradley will.

Fucking hypocrits.

[SluttyPhDatUCSD]

I wanna suck David's big dick till you cream all over my face hehehe.

[IamBradleyAssange]

david Home, you looked better when you were that sexy twink we all knew and loved and passed around us military buds. this new look aint doing it for me.. but now that youre twenty i guess that chins got a career of its own.

, good luck anyway with your new career in talking and so on, youre a really riveting conversationalist.

[niunka1]

smart kid!

[IamSpartacas1]

I am bradley manning ( a young man)

[Mirani2]

@IamSpartacas1 I am Bradley Manning. I am a truth fighter.

[smellyfooty]

do you have conjugal visits? cause that would be hot.

peace to manning

[IamBradleyAssange]

@smellyfooty mm, yum.

[nlpjohn]

Manning was a unstable soldier. In Iraq they took away the bolt of his rifle finding him unfit to carry a weapon. He also punched a female officer in the face. Several officers recommended that he be cashiered from the army. The officers that blocked his dismissal from the army should be fired. Manning can still be of some use for his country. He can be executed as a spy to serve as a warning what will happen if you betray your country...

[StevenE93]

@nlpjohn But Bradley Manning has not betrayed his country. If anything, Bradley did what he supposedly did in order to benefit the regular citizens of his country and other countries. These regular citizens are the people the government and the military claim to represent and act in the best interests of, and yet they kept secrets from us. I truly believe that we had a right to know the contents of these documents. Bradley Manning is no traitor and execution would be severely unjust.

[Rebekisha18]

I cant believe people cares more about Justin b than this... SaD Humanity... i wish we could help this guy :(

[duckbiter]

BRADLEY MANNING  AMERICAN HERO

[tmtwer234]

Free Bradley Manning !

The United States , a country ruled by Satan !

[MrPaulpriest]

Bradley is perhaps the only American soldier who is not a coward! Bradley live you will live forever in the thoughts of people who love freedom and hate the United States, a country ruled by Satan.



[HomleandSecurity]

After Bradley, we're coming after Peyton and Eli

[neosandy]

Amnesty.org Free Bradley Manning!!!

[MoonAharshMistress]

CIA this twinkfest is disturbing.

you filthy old codgers.

[Il00OOll]

The people at the Pentagon who are torturing Bradley Manning are traitors and must be investigated. They are destroying the prestige of the US in the world. Stop torturing Bradley Manning, you filthy scumbags!

[doddsalfa]

the US government is torturing Bradley Manning now.

[sim0b]

The US gov is a disgrace. That goes for the UK and sweeden too.

[sih1688]

There are all gays in this video!

[FedupwithR]

Thank goodness he has a real friend in David House. I admire them both.

[DARTHMELL0N]

Bradley Manning is a traitor to his country, long live the USA and Big Brother sense everyone confuses breaking the law as their civil rights

[eskii2]

true hero. Among the top contributers to humanity unlike the rest of us imbicills

[DARTHMELL0N]

@eskii2 he is a contributer to chaos, which is what wikileaks is all about

[CcccclarkkkkK]

@DARTHMELL0N he is a contributor to the TRUTH, which over-patriotic assholes like you can't seem to handle

[DARTHMELL0N]

@CcccclarkkkkK i handle the truth but im not an idiot like you. if u want to live without secrets leave society and find yourself an island, otherwise shut the fuck up.

[muhlissuh09]

Bradly Manning in my eyes is a hero, just goes to show what the goverment will do to people to make sure their secrets do not get out. Bradly Manning, I am praying for you hang in there.

[porazindel]

fuck lamo

[NewBornpt]

Bradley Manning is an example top follow by everyone...

[911Investigate911]

Bredley Manning - Hero! USA - EVIL !!!

[whythepie]

The reporter in this video is a fool. He keeps trying to get this kid to implicate that Manning is colluding with Assange. It's terrible journalism on the reporter's part and on the part of MSNBC for hiring such a hack. The guy was obviously very poorly informed on the topic. Honestly, if you've got millions of dollars to hire TV "journalists" like MSNBC, the least you could do would be to get someone with more than a passing knowledge of the topic on the air.

[TangerineAnn]

This IS torture. This appears to be an attempt to break Manning down so that a case can be successfully manufactured against Assange. The US is bent on destroying WL and Assange and Manning is the patsy in the process.

Join a global group of people standing up to this madness. We are sending a very public message to the US gov about its antidemocratic behavior by video. Go to support - julian - assange for more info. Please add your voice to this message and help us stand up to this!

[farcuf]

They are punishing Manning for what is happening outside, Fascist tactics as demonstrated today, January 23. David House denied right to visit Bradley by means of harassment and intimidation

[lmktacwa]

Bradley Manning is a political prisoner because his political views include open and transparent government. Apparently that doesn't square well with the United States Government. We need to really stop and think about that.

[Cathrynesperance]

Bradley Manning should be held humanely. What's wrong with our government?

Thank you, FireDogLake, for covering this.

[asynkronos]

Military officials claim that Brad gets to see "friends and relatives" every week. Another lie. His aunt and David House are the only family member and friend allowed to see him. Our ignoble "leaders" are lying about Brad's treatment and much more. They are a pack of cowards. They're trying to appear calm but sweating bullets as additional damning evidence against them is published by WikiLeaks. The arrogant fools are hanging themselves.

[19lfm12]

@asynkronos Yes, they are lying about Brad's treatment. This IS torture, for which there is NO moral justification no matter what someone is alleged to have done.

Solitary is widely used in US prisons for even the least 'offense'; to humiliate & break prisoners. It is torture.

Confine him prior to trial? OK...but humanely. With proper bedding, excersize, food, clothes, reading material, unlimited visitations.

[PalmyBruce]

David, thank you for giving us this useful status information. I would like if possible to confer with you by Skype or email. You can see who I am by viewing my video on Itocracy and the 'truth storm', but that is not why I'm trying to contact you - I'm basically interested in assuring his morale is effectively reinforced so that he survives this episode as well as possible, notably by establishing clear, nourishing hopes. If you/anyone reliable is in contact with him I want to talk.

[bweazel]

So wait, who the fuck is this kid? And why is he allowed access to a military prisoner no one else is? I call bullshit.

[hathigmonorow]

Bradley Manning you deserve a medal! Most courageous soldier for siding with his conscience against the traitors of the US Constitution.

[merkabah2]

Fuck you, Lamo.

[hanksnow82]

Here is something for all you Manning supporters to consider . If you think you are being mistreated when you are arrested in the Marines you or your lawyer have to file a complaint with the Marines Corps Inspector General (MCIG) . Why has neither Manning or his lawyer made any application to the (MCIG) the only person that can address his situation ?

[EdM021]

@hanksnow82 He was arrested by the Army and sent to a Marine Brig. Shouldn't he have been sent to Leavenworth?

[hanksnow82]

@EdM021 You don't go to Leavenworth unless your senteneced . They want him in Quantico because thats where the all the people that will be interviewing him are .

[EdM021]

@hanksnow82 They'd better lift that POI tout de suite, then, because otherwise Bradley's mind will turn to mush and he'll be of no use to anybody, most importantly his defense team! The POI should have been lifted as soon as it was reported to the psych eval team that he posed no threat of harm to himself or others. But it's still there, making his conditions more torture than it would be otherwise. Bradley's attorney and his Army Staff Judge Advocate can't get Quantico to budge. SOME one (1/2)

[EdM021]

@hanksnow82 (2/2) SOME one is leaning on the psych eval team to keep the POI in place and it sure ain't from within the Military!!

[Anuksunanon]

David,

I think Bradley has a good friend in you, you're very well spoken and can only help Bradley's quest for liberty. Please keep going to see him for all of us.

[MoonAharshMistress]

@daviddevall ..well, manning will "exist" of course- but he is a non-person. That is, someone who is probably orphaned and without ties. Pretty much all the kids organised crime gangs pick up- probably san francisco area- who are prostituting themselves can be looked into by their mates at the Pentagon.

If they discover someone has a mother who will worry about the if they go missing- they leave em alone; but

[MoonAharshMistress]

someone who no- body knows anything about (the status of the majority of people who prostitute themselves anyway)..well, their identity cannot be vouched for, nor a false identity assigned to him, be refuted by others in any way: Ideal victims to be inserted into media psy-ops & false flags.

And in fact, if you were gonna run a false flag- thats exactly where you would recruit your material from.

[MoonAharshMistress]

Cos he's "Anonymous" as they say, and thats exactly where they get their slaves from- and the captured and living dead cant talk.

I have no doubt the chain of command tell Obama, the kids in jail and he is behind the wikileaks fiasco.

But what does it matter. Assange and his jewish media buddies are the one orchestrating it.

They just need pictures of this twink to illustrate their material and what not.

They keep going on about the death penalty cos hes probably dead already anyway.

[MoonAharshMistress]

You can kill an unknown orphan & who would know?

Certainly not Obama, who will never get to clap eyes on this individuaL for as long as he lives. The Cia will have told Obama not to look too deeply into anything- that the Wikileaks has its own purpose and necessary secret methods, but overall, it is useful to the United States. But Obama will never learn of what that secret is.

[MoonAharshMistress]

There is usually one reason to keep something secret: and ususally its to do with making money from sex crime and making money from smuggling narcotics- shooting anyone who gets in the way of that activity.

Its up to Obama whether he thinks thats acceptable way to run a country or not.. indeed if the people behind it are even ‘American’ anyway (allegiance to US citizens).

[hanksnow82]

Is this David House a fag too ?

[jiimy21]

FREE BRADLEY MANNING

HOLD IN THEIR BROTHER, THE CALVARY IS ON THE WAY!!

[MegaCurioso1234]

Liberate Bradley Manning!!

[EdM021]

@SupportWikileaks Amen!

[EdM021]

The reply I made to hanksnow82, may it not come true. Stay strong, Bradley!

Nolite te bastardes carbonundrum.

[EdM021]

THe prediction I said in my reply to hanksnow82, I hope it doesn't come trye. Stay strong, Bradley! Nolite te bastardes carbonundrum.

[hanksnow82]

They say once you get the first 25 years in at Levenworth the second 25 years goes faster . I hope Bradley Manning enjoys Kansas.

[EdM021]

@hanksnow82 The way they're treating him and the utterly slow pace of the investigation of the charges against him he might not even make it alive to his Article 32 Hearing!

[hanksnow82]

@EdM021 Manning is not being treated any different than any other soldier brought up on serious charges . I have an acquaintance that sat in solitary for 23 months waiting to come up his charges . People seem to forget Manning is not a civilian he is in the military justice system which is much tougher . I would think Manning has realized by now what his future holds and is looking for something sharp to slit his throat with .

[TheSamara89kitten]

@hanksnow82 you're mean and evil!

[hanksnow82]

@TheSamara89kitten I'm honest

[TheSamara89kitten]

@hanksnow82 well it's inhumane and call me an ignorant 19 yr old girl, but i have feelings and i think that he should not be detained and tortured. im sorry for your friend too...23 months..? that's sad..im not ashamed to show emotions :*(

[mattman85]

@hanksnow82 People don't seem to understand when you raise your right hand, you swear your life away for the next however many years your contract is. I'm sure he had hours of powerpoints every year stating the seriousness of leaking sensitive information and has probably even signed nondisclosure agreements if he had access to classified information. Whether or not he was getting kicked out or not doesn't change the fact he did this while on duty and so can is going to be charged under UCMJ.

[hanksnow82]

@mattman85 I'm glad someone on here understands the difference between being a civilian and being military .

[EdM021]

@hanksnow82 23 months? That's ridiculous!!! Obviously the government does not like speedy trials, they only want convictions! Spending more than 10 days in intensive solitary (23 hours a day) has been found to adversely affect the thinking process. Maybe your acquaintance got to converse with guards and others passing his cell but Bradley doesn't have that opportunity b/c no-one is near him! His Atty reported the staff psychol. said he poses no harm to anyone & he's said to be a model prisoner.

[hanksnow82]

@EdM021 The person i know spent 23 months in solitary in the naval brig in Charleston and the rules are about the same as Quantico . there is only a 6'x6' window which is shuddered 99 % of the time and you have almost no human contact and you are not allowed to sleep from 5 am to 8 pm . Whether or not Manning is a model prisoner has no bearing on his solitary confinement . Speaking to people who should know , they say Manning is going to spend at least another year in solitary before his trial .

[EdM021]

@hanksnow82 Then the way they treat these guys awaiting trial is nothing less than insane! And you need to watch the video anagin and read all the Glenn Greenwald articles since Dec 16th concerning Bradley Manning. As soon as he got to Quantico they put a POI on him which worsened solitary from something barely tolerable to something that would drive you insane! Psychologists reported that he doesn't pose a threat to himself or others yet the psych eval team is keeping it in place. WHY?

[hanksnow82]

@EdM021 Since his lawyer has not made an appeal to the Marines Corps Inspector General i think all he is doing is grand standing . I have had it pointed out that Manning is probally much better off not being in the general popuation at Quantico .

[EdM021]

@hanksnow82 @hanksnow82 Pfc Bradley Manning is not a US Marine Corpsman!!! His Attorney I am sure already contacted the IG for the Army, b/c the Staff Judge Advocate's Office is on the case, lobbying through proper channels to get the POI lifted! And do you know for a fact that Manning's attorney didn't contact the US Marines' IG? He could have told the attorney to go take a hike!

armycourtmartialdefense dot info "Article 13 and Pfc Bradley Manning" & "Pretrial Confinement Review"

[bweazel]

@hanksnow82 That or he doesn't exist ;)

[ant10011001]

@hanksnow82 If this is how the military in the US keeps prisoners I think reform is well overdue. It seems truth justice and the AMERCAN WAY is to hold people in VERY HARSH jail conditions for years without any conviction or trial. But hay they have been doing this for years and no one seems to be able to stop it

Very sad tho cos after all this whats manning or wikileaks revealed. Killing the press killing civis, we already knew this, remarks about other diplomats, who cares! Torture, old news

[hippz420]

That guy represented Bradley Manning like a fucking champ. I want that guy to be my lawyer one day.

[hanksnow82]

Bad break for a homosexual like Manning since he is going to have to do 50 years in one of the only prisons that he won't be able to have gay sex in .

[EdM021]

@hanksnow82 But at least it's not like civilian prisons where the gays and whites all get RAPED. I heard they run a tight ship in military prisons and the prisoners are all sexually frustrated. Better than being raped.

[narutocaprirequest2]

man i hate that reporter

[dionstrezlecki]

haha kept bringing up assange, obv smart kid and kept his mouth shut

[EdM021]

@dionstrezlecki And that means he won't report on the others that (according to NightLine 11-29-10) helped him. And I do think that there were several people doing this document dump to WikiLeaks!

[hanksnow82]

I'm guessing that 50 years Manning is going to do at the U.S. Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth will make him wish he had got the death penalty . If i was him i would try to kill myself why i was at Quantico .

[toodance]

@hanksnow82 why wait around to be him? be my guest

[EmeterioBetances]

Wikileaks reported that the UN had more aligned to the US ambassador than to Iran. The United Nation is not doing its JOB adequately to stop the rampant Imperialist! The United Nations should start slamming the US for holding political prisoners like AIM leader Pelteir and Mumia Abu Jamal, Cuban Five and Puerto Rican political prisoners! FREE THEM!

[EmeterioBetances]

Where is the United Nations outrage of the Human Rights violation that this is? This is just like the political prisoners incarcerated in the United States. And the United Nation does nothing for them! A complete Violation of Human Rights!

[lxathos]

This is a government of shit

[jibbi4one]

The reason Pfc. Manning is in solitary confinement is because inbred thought rationale of the welfare/warfare state must operate with impunity. The sad fact is U.S. leaders consider truth to be treason in an empire of lies.

[schifferbrainz]

David House needs his own show.

[honestlycorrect]

*

AN AMERICAN CITIZEN WITH NO RIGHTS !!!

Manning deserves, as any suspected criminal, a fair trial.

If the government can do this to one American Citizen, who will be next ? .....

*

[EdM021]

David House, thank you for communicating this. Thank you, Jonathan Capehart, Dylan ratigan and MSNBC for getting his story out beyond the blogosphere and into the mainstream press. What the government is doing to him is torture and he has not even had an Article 32 Hearing (equivalent of Grand Jury hearing) yet. This is pure fascism and it is to our eternal shame that this has been allowed to happen to our own, on our soil. And Bradley's not the first!

[EdM021]

Folks, you see what teamshotfilms has done! He has software to track my every keystroke and followed me over here from Facebook! Must be working for the government. Folks, this is Your Tax Dollars At Work!

[teamShotFilms]

@EdM021

Actually this idiot has a link on his facebook to his YouTube account. Pull your head out of your ass.

[EdM021]

@teamShotFilms So that gave you liberty to follow me over here???

[EdM021]

@teamShotFilms THen why did you follow me here?

[teamShotFilms]

@EdM021

For the record, if I was gay... I look WAY too good for you.

[EdM021]

@teamShotFilms Then why are you pursuing me?

[EdM021]

@teamShotFilms Except I do NOT find you attractive!

[insightandvision]

A government must be frightened to death when it treats one of it's own citizens as bad as this and other citizens like the Us gov does in Gitmo. The Rule of law is gone in he USA and our long-time ally is fast becoming the policestate based on fear we once were fighting together. In the Empire of Lies Truth is a crime...

[ThaRuppert]

The USA are torturering people - just in line with countrys like Iran, North-Korea, China, and so on.

[jimmyjoe1975]

@TheDaveseal No need to be tart. The post lacked context and I thus chose the wrong one.

[EdM021]

It is utterly shameful that Bradley Manning is literally stuck in the torture of solitary confinement - figuratively crucified! And what has he done? Nothing that we know of. To hold him this long without trial is not only an egregious violation of the Constitution, but also the military's own Uniform Code of Military Justice, specifically Articles 10 and 13. And the fact that he's already slipping can only guarantee that he will not be mentally present at his trial - if they hold one.

[teamShotFilms]

@EdM021

Says the guy that resorted to questioning my sexuality because I refuted every non-point he made. If anyone is interested in reading the e-mail conversation I am referring to, please message me.

[EdM021]

@teamShotFilms What email conversation?

[EdM021]

@teamShotFilms You didn't refute a bloody thing! And you're really thin-skinned, too. You think being gay is the biggest insult in the world! And what I said is not like I called you a f******. And now I know what some people do: keeping tabs on fellow US citizens!

[EdM021]

@teamShotFilms 2/2 And I wasn't the one who changed his facebook photo from a decorated military officer to a that of a very fit young man in a black muscle tee, a Freddy Mercury haircut and a bicep tatoo of the genre that the well-known author James Howard Kunstler has called "a high-water mark in a fisting contest!" Your photo change gave you the indication of an active military officer coming on to me. How do you think I was going to respond?

[teamShotFilms]

@EdM021

I was a Noncommissioned Officer, thank you very much. I will not apologize for being in shape, having a high fade and some tattoos. You are just another skid mark on the face of the earth with no real reason for living.

[EdM021]

@teamShotFilms You don't have to apologize for that, just your rude bahavior!

[EdM021]

@teamShotFilms You don't have to apologize for being in shape etc etc, just your behavior thaty comes off as stalking!

[LadysHoodJournal]

Jail took the smerk of his face.

[EdM021]

@LadysHoodJournal I saw no smirk, only a pleasant smile.

[jimmyjoe1975]

@TheDaveseal "stupidest" is a silly charge. He is young and did not have the mental wherewithal to take satisfaction in his coup silently. He broke his contract and now will suffer, unless justice prevails.

[stream47]

Yeah, the prosecution is pretty obviously trying to break Manning physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually, it's like what the North Koreans did to US prisoners 60 years ago. It's despicable, criminal, and totally at odds with the Rule of Law that we used to have here; America now has nothing to be proud of. Any "confession" wrung out of Manning at this point should be highly suspect. A Special Prosecutor should be appointed to investigate this, right up the chain of command, to Obama.

[asynkronos]

@stream47 I strongly agree. It *is* like North Korean POW torture. I'll never again trust others just because they're Americans, least of all authorities. This strips "America" of meaning. It's a chunk of earth with people on it, good and bad. If the officials aren't investigated and subpoenaed to testify in court and congressional hearings, this is a totalitarian regime. Obama could release Bradley anytime but it would be an admission of his own guilt. He doesn't dare to face him!

[Aiden057]

The Pentagon is apparently violating its own UCMJ. The piece in firedoglake is very important, but also read Glenn Greenwald at Salon. Manning is being tortured, I think and holding him for this long without trial seems an outrageous violation of Justice due Manning in this case.

[HeyLookaSquirrel]

it's House!

[HIMplusHER]

Wow the interviewer was really reaching for a connection between Julian and Bradley manning. Thats not right. I'm pro Julian. TOTALLY. But this was to be a interview about Bradley Manning and his treatment. Way to just take it and twist it and turn it into Julian.

Julian I am a big supporter! I am behind you all the way.

Bradley Manning, I am ashamed about the conditions you are being subjected to. It's not right. I wish for your freedom and rightful treatment. Stay strong and Best of luck!

[TheLogicSage]

he has few friend but a lot of people supporting him

[Conspiracy2Riot]

I'm glad to know that Bradley has a friend willing to make the journey to visit him. That must be so important to him. I wonder if we can write him or if he can have mail at all?

[SubmarinerAndroid]

I stand with Bradley Manning and against the mass-murdering international bankster Empire which our government is a part of.

[TheRoazdosado]

good luck Bradley Manning
