Online Petition Overturns PayPal's Blocked Bradley Manning Payments

Paypal.... i am so disappointed in you.

Nice.

Now, you too can stop watching videos for a few minutes while you contribute some real money to the Bradley Manning Defense Fund.

I'm serious.

Do it.

Thank you.

Sadly, the root isn't going away. Each time we cut one head of the hydra, two seem to spawn in its place. What would have been a victory is if paypal wasn't politically motivated. I thought they were trying to be a bank.

I totally agree that we're doing good things, and fighting the good fight, but the thing is, why aren't key leaders in our society making better decisions? I believe it's systematic.

Paypal is not your pal.

[guatepower]

He's the alleged leaker. I think that he still hasn't been charged, and it's been almost a year.

[jackbrightside]

hes a hero, the only military man that i know of that i would trust

[grendelcatt]

Alleged Leaker, He has not been proven to have done anything and, is only charged with leaking the "nose" camara footage of U.S. troops killing civilians in Iraq...

glad someone is still talking about this, internet ftw

Good one!

I choose to use paypal because it is quick, safe, secure and widely accepted. But if that choice was based soley on paypal's morality, well....I'd quit shopping online I guess!

Score one for truth and justice.

[Shadowlit001]

Score one for the good guys!

This is kind of surprising though. I've been involved in online business for several years and have heard way too many stories of how evil PayPal can be.

@Shadowlit001 The fact that they would block a legal defense fund at all is bad. That they backed down from that stupid decision doesnt say much considering how much activism they have been pushing despite being a business.

They are always doing this crap without explanation.
