David Rovics - Song for Bradley Manning

David Rovics performs his newly written "Song for Bradley Manning" in this video.

Bradley E. Manning is a United States Army soldier who was charged in July 2010 with the unauthorized disclosure of U.S. classified information. He is being held in solitary confinement at the Marine Corps Brig, Quantico, Virginia, and is expected to face a court-martial in the spring of 2011.

Manning was assigned to a support battalion with the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division, based at Contingency Operating Station Hammer, Iraq, which gave him access to SIPRNet—the Secret Internet Protocol Router Network—used by the U.S. Department of Defense and Department of State to transmit classified information. He was arrested in May 2010 after Adrian Lamo, a former computer hacker, reported to authorities that Manning had told him, during an online chat, that he had downloaded material from SIPRNet and passed it to Wikileaks. The material included the video of a July 2007 helicopter airstrike in Baghdad—the so-called "Collateral Murder" video, which Wikileaks published in April 2010—a video of the Granai airstrike, and a large number of diplomatic cables.

Thanks you David for this powerful tribute to Bradley Manning

It is so good to see artists begin to speak out after such a long silence. Much of the power of the 1960s-70s was in the antiwar and protest songs and visual arts. It's well past time for all people of good conscience to make speak in every medium we can access, to make our message heard and seen.

thank you David for keeping Bradley Manning's story out there. Obama has his torture and a lot of other blood on his hands,

Free Bradley!

Brilliant lyrics and great video. Thank you for keeping Bradley Manning's confinement in front of the public. We must remember Manning until he is free.

Excellent song, well produced video.

Music has a power that mere words often fail to reach.

Shame on Obama who allows torture & killings to be carried out in the name of "freedom & democracy".

War is peace. Love is hate. Normality is abnormal. The world is insane.

Thankfully, many people are waking up to the "double-speak" & "virtuality" which rule our contemporary lives.....

Freedom will come .... sooner than many believe.

Be the change that you want to see in the world.

Peace ;-)
