It is the last place I would imagine... I found a hero.

I'm brazilian and I'm very proud of Manning. He is not only a real american hero... He's a humanity's hero. Manning, I support you and I'll donate what I can to help you.

Bradley Manning is a true Jeffersonian Hero.

Ellsberg is also.

One day historians will know both of these men as obvious heroes.

[halo3gamehead]

if manning is killed he will always be remembered as a humanitarian hero.

the man who tried to set things right. exposed the government for all their wrongdoings. Manning is a person who fights against corruption and looks to lead the way. The government is corrupt. wake up. they are manipulating the law to their benefit. They commit crimes that go against humanity and they must be tried and punished.

they arrest and kill people when they have no solid evidence against them.

History is written by the winners. If these tyrants are allowed to achieve their goal of destruction of liberty, then your grandchildren will learn in school that these men were filthy traitors.

My mom died on Jan 10 at 87. She was watching these videos and following Bradley's pre-trial hearing and the occupations until a few days before. Among the last things she said was that she wished she could hug Bradley and thank him. She was a Marine vet, so gave them hell at Quantico brig and didn't spare Obama. She told me that good photos and videos from this time will be prized by the Smithsonian someday. I love your video! It belongs there. Dan is a prince.

This is a great video, but the sound quality is missing- when I turn up the video there is a lot of back ground noise... It's possible it's just my computer, but I don't think so. Also, I think it would get a lot more play if those issues were taken care of :-)

Suggestions for change at end of 2nd Presidential Speech re new PEOPLES PARTY of the 99%'ers are armed with an ONLINE CONSTITUTION and a way to take back country for the PEOPLE by the PEOPLE. In the PEOPLE PARTY your vote will count, really.

Both Bradley Manning and Ellsberg were trying to make peace for the world by revealing the war crime. And Manning is being tortured for that.

well done mate i have been in iraq . and i can say the real enemy is the governments...........

Bradley saw what had to be done and took action, knowing it could cost him his life. Like Dr Ellsberg and Martin Luther King, he didn't see his actions as heroic. He simply treated us as his equals. I believe he'll go down in history as one of the greatest patriots of the 21st century. My mother is a WWII vet and was a photo archivist at the Smithsonian during Dr King's Poor People's Campaign. She told us that Bradley is welcome to stay in her house. He has many friends he'll never know.

Both are truly inspiring. We'll find the means to free Bradley Manning.
