The US central government is now the number one enemy of its own Constitution. In addition to its war crimes, crimes against humanity, embassy spying on locals, etc, it has subjected one of its own, accused whistleblower Pfc Bradley Manning, to the still-ongoing torture of indefinite solitary confinement under inhumane conditions. Even indefinite solitary alone is torture, ask Senator McCain. Yet Manning has not even been indicted under USMJ Article 32, let alone tried in Court Martial. (1/2)

Did anyone notice that Wikileaks was actually shut down a couple of days ago?

We should give this courageous soldier, Bradley Manning the Nobel Peace Prize! He thought something wasn't right and acted on it. He did nothing wrong. We should get him out of jail. It's not right.
