"Mothers and Fathers do not want their daughters to grow up and live life under the boot of taliban tyranny and due to this loser of a human, they will be killed for it."

Is there a story you could link to about this? Where did this information come from?

here here my friend. this guy is every good soldiers worst nightmare. I can't imagine what he was thinking. But he knew what he was getting himself into so he deserves whatever he is going through now. It's not like the army doesn't warn analysts about what will happen to them if they conduct treasonous acts...

Explain how Manning's leaks were a danger to troops instead just of embarrassing to American Government. Please, because none of the information leaked was about troop positions or squad formations, which WOULD potentially get someone killed if given to the ENEMY and not the general populace.

Sadly its become like the Roman circus...people thirst for blood and vengeance.

Yes, RaceBannon, we forget. Basically because we are all pussies that want to rely on the Leviathon to tell us what to do in all these matters.

Its exactly who I thought it wad.

LOL

typing on a cellphone ..........hnfkjhlf c,lo

"Embarrassing stuff that will make you question them and reconsider allowing those officials to continue leading".

yep. +^d

Funny to think what the ©Republicant's were shredding or burning before they turned over the house. Dick must have had his special envoy of specialists make sure nothing survived.

I used to think that you were extremely intelligent and had something to offer. But increasingly, I have been disappointed. I have lived in an isolated environment for five years due to security issues. Yet I still manage to function. I will admit a failure in certain emotional/mental functions due to this isolation and have reported it to my employer. Three days is a walk in the park., try 6 to 12 months at a time. I feel sorry, for Bradley, as he clearly appears to be cut from a more delicate cloth.

You are a Loon.

How can you speak of this mans integrity. He was obviously cut from a cloth of bravery and loyalty to humanity.

not from the cut of soldier this faggot needs to be executed.

Give me a break man. This dude is a fucking traitor, I dont care what you say about his actions. He has signed numerous documents and sworn to not releasing these documents. He is military MI he signed up for this shit. He knew the punishment for his actions. You guyes act as if hes some bad-ass for releasing these documents.

If you are going to be a bad ass live up to the consequences. Dont be some pussy who is afraid.

He should man up and except death for his actions. This would be the only way to save face with the rest of the world.

WAKE UP SLEEPY HEAD!

Are you familiar with the Nuremburg trials, hmm? In the grand scheme of things Nuremburg proved that any loyalty, oath, and duty that went against a persons and or groups human rights HAVE NOT A POT TO PISS IN!

Any officer regardless of rank must uphold the human rights of others before the orders of his superior officer. If the CO told a private to Kill and rape women and children. Two things can happen. He can say NO! and go to Leavenworth. or He can say yes and be prosecuted for being a vile rapist. the Judge will say: You knew that doing these things to women and children went against the Geneva Convention, You knew that this went against the conventions and laws held by the country of residence. Therefore yoiu should rot in prison, with your CO!

I used the extreme but it still stands, our countrymen have been told do things by Washington that are down right EVIL and it is the PRIME DIRECTIVE of every officer to Uphold the CONSTITUTION and its IDEALS and not the SLIMEBAG Orders of Sycophants and Charlatans fornication and wrapping themselves around the flag.

STOP FREEBASING OFF GROUPTHINK YOU COWARD!

You are 100% correct!

WHY ARE SO MANY GOOD AMERICANS DEFENDING THIS JERK??? he's getting exactly what he deserves! how anyone could call this guy a hero is just as baffling as the republicans shooting down the 9/11 first responders bill...

i agree, he should be executed. but don't start tossing around hateful words like "faggot" otherwise no one here will listen to you when you have something "unhateful" to say...

Just as George Orwell said "In an empire of lies, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act."

I have just been contacted by Mr. Orwell from his grave.

He says that it is no longer a revolutionary act: It is simply disregarded in the chaos of some mythical 'Topical dot com'

Chaos accepts truth and tears it to shreds.

Exactly where I stand. Thats a BIG +^d

I choose a very small flag if asked, hopefully with lubricant.

Wrapped in a flag and carrying a fucking cross....that is more like it.

Its like that scene in the exorcist when Linda Blair shoves that cross some where and screams "F me J" "F me J".....that is our life under the current fascism of Christianity, Government, and Corporate Capitalism in this country.

Good for that, but I thought that Bradley would be assigned a military defense attorney, so the claim of a $50,000 defense fund could be another scam by Julian?

In a Military Tribunal, you do NOT want a 2nd LT to be your advocate.

Does the defendant have a choice to choose a civilian lawyer?

AFAIK, yes.

Two words for you: Human Rights.

Unless you don't want the US to be part of them... so then you are as tyrant as fuckin North Korea.

Maybe hes doesn't deserve good treatment while a prisioner, maybe he deserves to die, but there are RIGHTS, BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS and HES RIGHT to be treated humanely in this facilities. The USA is OBLIGED to treat him with human basic needs, including a pillow, a blanket, a book, and able to exercise.

Of course, its because of people like you, that USA has fallen on morality, which eats a society alive.

Read my comments below. He has a bed, 3 meals a day and a blanket. He can roll up his towel for a pillow. He is military and should be trained to face hardship. Unless, he is a little pussy, unwilling to face up to his crimes, exactly what was he thinking when divulging this information?

I am not "for" the bear. fuck the bear. Clear ?

p.s. There WAS NO "stick" , just a guy taking sketches and notes on the bear and bear nature/behavior. The bear just tries to maul anyone and anything it cant sit on; it wants EVERYTHING ELSE in a cage. It keeps trying.

This young man was an emotionally deprived fool, entrapped by an experienced reporter and betrayed by a hacker, supported by the Chinese Gov't. If you take the time to read the transcripts between Bradley and Lamo, it becomes evident that Bradley was being seduced into revealing confidential information. There are many ways to blow the whistle, but this was the most idiotic.

Exactly what does the stupid comment "Clear" mean? I can read and understand any comment that you are capable of making. Clear! You little fnuck!

just checking. +^d. ; shows strength of character !

p.s. He was a little naive, granted.

He was used and is now being abused. It is sad to say the least.

"just a guy taking sketches and notes on the bear and bear nature/behavior." By this statement, you imply that Manning knew what was in the files he gave to Assange. I don't think he did. He may have had an idea of what was in them, but do you really think he went through the whole thing before he committed treason by giving these files to a foriegn entity with the express purpose of doing damage to the U.S.? Regardless of how you feel about the whole thing, this man willfully committed treason during war time, and should face a firing squad.

Holy fuck you are stupid.

I love getting responses like this. It reinforces by belief in the current state of education in the U.S.

Wow, and i thought the U.S. prided its self on a supposed fair, uniform, and just legal system.
But apparently you feel that depending on who the defendant is and who the prosecutor is, torture and the subversion of the legal process and the bill of rights is ok because you don't like the guy.

Great.

You go from claiming Manning 'poked a bear' or something (that he was an instigator and deserved his torture) to claiming he was duped and manipulated.

Which is it?

I disagree

Yes, you are a narcissist. You like to interpret all responses to confirm your own self schemata. Good job.

Welcome to america, grasshopper. Where you are not exploited, you are redundant. No victims only volunteers.

Not war time, occupation time. Nobody seems to get this right. If you go along with the war thing, then america, was preemptive without any clear threat. Just made it up, we did. But if you say something often enough the chattering monkeys, will repeat it. The Germans used this recently to good effect. Lessons lost in the land of amnesiacs.

You heard it first from Telcod -- "Just made it up, we did."

Well, actually, we've figured this out several times: Gulf of Tonkin, Battleship Maine, Overthrow of the Hawaiian Monarchy, bla, bla, bla.

And you are SO right about this land of amnesiacs.

This is a fact that seems to escape most people.

The BEAR in my comment is the U.S. government. He was manipulated by Lamo and Julian for their personal benefit. Thus, for your edification, I was suggesting that military personnel do not violate their sworn duty to the military, unless they are willing to face severe consequences. (as Bradley has).

If he was out to "attack and do damage", THAT would be my "poking with stick" analogy. I don't think he did that, and I don't think that was his intent.

not -"EMBARRASSING superiors" is not an "attack",....though it may "provoke".Everything that annoys is not necessarily an attack, much less an attack with intent to wound.

Sorry Dustin, I am a Christian. I gave up Narcissim, years ago.

How can turning classified information over to a foriegn entity for the express intent of publication not be an attack? Maybe, if he can prove he went through every file and knew what was included in every cable, then, maybe, it might not be considered an attack, but I dont think that's the case here. And one last question, since when is a computer researcher qualified to make a diagnosis on someone's health just by looking at them?

Information is INHERENTLY '"free", and the withholding of it "lies" (heh) somewhere between modesty,embezzlement, and neurosis,....depending on the motive.
NO ONE "owns/has title to" information; the freeing of it CAN NOT be equated with assault.

Isn't Hubris another name for narcissism? You certainly got hubris! Hey, don't take offense -- When you got it, flaunt it baby!

Hubris and humility go hand in glove. A kind lesson for you,while you are going through life.

We like kind lessons. Otherwise mommy takes us out of the kindergarten.

Now you get it. Although, I detect a certain sarcasm in your response, that is condescending to me. I suspect that you are enamored with your own superior intelligence. Yes? If that is the case, we will up the ante of our discussions. However, do not expect anymore politeness from me, as your arrogance is not supported by your intelligence and the lack of depth of your discussions. Mommy may need to take you out of the kindergarten, maybe for a piss, I am sure she had to do this for you many times. Assuming, that you can piss while standing, which I doubt.

When shown the ambiguous fist of perhaps, some tend to find their own worst enemy.

While I don't often drink beer, when I do it is on the battlefield of humor, Stay humorous, my friend.

He is not the criminal, the evil doers he has exposed are.

This is true. I'm sure we have many men and women in the military who thought it would be a more patriotic and respectable job when they entered into it. Unfortunately it is used for corporate greed and evil doing? LOL Evil doing.

Real life is hunting coons at midnight (sounds cool!) -- I'm not sure that's part of this guy's solitary.

And as far as whining, it sounds more like he is disoriented. Solitary will do that for you. Butchering hogs and selling calves tend to make you more alert, are you suggesting that Julian might want to look into that option?

I feel sorry for Bradley, as I suspect that he was used by both Lamo and Julian. He seems to be a young man seeking friendship and recognition. He did however, make a terrible mistake at the encouragement of Lamo. Then for Lamo to pass the information to Wiki and then alert the FBI is unacceptable. Then clearly, Wiki (Julian), had no concerns about ruining this young man's life. You have two mature men that have ruined this young man's life and maybe even given him a death sentence to satisfy their own egos. Bradley is a victim and they are the predators. Thus, I have no respect for Julian or Lamo, as their sources should have been protected. Personally I hope both Lamo and Julian suffer the same fate as Bradley.

That life was tough, but fun. I just hate whiners. Not that Bradley is whining to my knowledge, it is just the ridiculous post making these claims.

Sounds to me you are doing most of the whining here. Nobody gives a shit about your hardships. They're no excuse for you to be a total prick.

I choose to be prick, however, in your case it is likely not an option.

Good point. Had some trails in Nuremberg about that issue.

I suppose my German relatives felt the same way back in the day when they joined up. Same as it always was. America, Germany, North Korea, all the same. Just a matter of who has the best PR and who can spin the BS. Let's see, I know those weapons of mass destruction are going to show up every day. Better to fend off the incompetency charges then tell the truth, "Were going to fuck you up, invade your country, occupy you, set up a government approved by us and control your oil and blame it on Sadam, former friend of George Bush."

I think it was Lee Marvin in the Professionals, who said, "I am a bastard, an accident at birth, but you sir, are a self made man." Nothing personal, just was reminded about it when I saw your prick comment.

I just got back online, as I have to shut the generator down every 6 hours for a cool down period. Lee Marvin was a great actor and WW2 veteran. I have not copy righted my retort, so you are free to use it when neccessary.

While the evil-doers that have been exposed may be criminals, this man took an oath when he joined the military, and he has broken it. He has allegedly broken federal law, and has done so knowingly and willingly. He knew the consequences when he preformed his actions, and he still did it. Good for him. But don't expect to be treated any differently from any other criminal.

As I understand it, Bradley started bragging about his actions in a chat room, and got turned in. Maybe he should have kept his mouth shut.

He isn't being treated like any other criminal. He hasn't had a trial whatsoever yet he is still in prison. Explain that MR Oath. Everyone he was involved in exposing swore an oath, why are they not in prison awaiting a trial?

Well that is a fact that we can agree on. "Loose lips, sink ships"!

He is allowed to walk down a hallway during that hour. Other than that he is monitored by infrared camera to ensure he doesn't exercise. He's been denied sheets and a pillow case, not a blanket and pillow. You should read before you start spouting bullshit.

Well I should apologise for your particular insight. I have already stated that he had a blanket, and God forbid he had no pillow case, and why would an "infrared camera" be necessary to photograph a prisoner walking down the hall? But, I have yet to read any posts that describe what you are claiming. Prisoners held in isolation are typically allowed 1 hour per day for exercise, unless they have been unruly, which he has not. Missed your meds today didn't you?

http://www.google.com

Again, you need to read before spouting. The infrared camera is to monitor him while he's IN the cell to ensure he doesn't exercise for the 23 hours per day he's confined to it. It's not a secret, go read. Do you need me to get links for you? Here's a good one to start with www.google.com.

Yeah you fail at reading comprehension, must have been I missed my meds. Idiot.

He doesn't get to exercise....PERIOD.

Are you certain, "Jubal". As normally the one hour out of the cell is reserved for exercise.

Sheets and pillow cases are not allowed because prisoners can hang themselves with these items.

I don't exercise either, yet.
