The US Army intelligence analyst, who is half British and went to school in Wales, appeared to sink into depression after a relationship break-up, saying he didn't "have anything left" and was "beyond frustrated".
In an apparent swipe at the army, he also wrote: "Bradley Manning is not a piece of equipment," and quoted a joke about "military intelligence" being an oxymoron.

Wonder how involved the Obama administration is along with members of Congress; etc in helping this guy and Wikileaks do this crime?
Mr Manning, who is openly homosexual, began his gloomy postings on January 12, saying: "Bradley Manning didn't want this fight. Too much to lose, too fast."
"to ascertain if they missed any warnings when he applied to join the US Army?"
Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot?
Ah, methinks it's a little late eh morons?
As someone who worked both covert (in Nam) and overt Intelligence in the USAF (and recruited Agents Agents and Confidential Informants) as well as having done a 3 year stint in the USAF OSI and was responsible for conducting background Security Clearance Investigations, something here stinks to high heaven.
While the military (and gov't) have (or used to anyway) a tendency to over classify some information, ANYTHING to do with Agents/Sources should at the very least, be classified TOP SECRET.
Secondly, how did this lowly PFC get authorization or access to such information?
Last but not least, someone in the Army CID did a p*ss poor job vetting this a-hole not only before his enlistment but certainly during his background investigation.
There HAD TO BE many telltale signs of his philosophy/ideology as those don't usually simply manifest themselves and lead one to commit treason over a lover's spat and btw, if he was openly gay, did that not set off warning bells as far as his being a security risk as well?
And, am I missing something here as I thought the "Don't ask--don't tell" policy was in affect and openly practicing homosexuals were being discharged?
I guess we will learn more in time, but something just does not compute!!!
The major deaths/wars attributed to Christianity.
The Crusades: 1-5 million
Albigensian Crusade: 1 million
The Spanish Inquisition: 30,000-100,000
100 years war: 3 million
General religious Mayhem: 10 million
Witch hunts: 50,000-100,000
Persecution of the Waldensians: 900,000
30 years war: 7 million
Ireland: 600,000
Grand total: approximately 17.7 million
Figures taken from http://users.erols.com/mwhite28/warstat0.htm#100yrs
When you compare those numbers to the numbers associated with communism/socialism (100 million) http://www.hawaii.edu/powerkills/COM.ART.HTM
and those killed by abortion (2.5 BILLION) http://users.erols.com/mwhite28/letters.htm#Abor515
you can see that the “unreligious” left is truely far more dangerous to life and liberty then the “religious”.
This piglet is headed for the big house, if not the death house. If we had an AG rather than a pusillanimous PC enabler, it would be the latter.
As for his co-conspirator, the loathsome sociopath Julian Assange, there are any number of ways he could be dealt with.
If the Big 0 had the gonads for it (in some alternate universe) he could simply have the baboon shot like a dog in the street, after which the president could use his ABSOLUTE power of pardons and paroles to pardon both himself and the shooters.
Obviously, that isn’t going to happen, so it is up to private citizens or foreign operatives of some kind. As an arrogant sociopath and media beast, Assange has probably not considered that there are potential state actors other than the cowardly and possibly complicit regimes currently in power in the US, the UK, and Australia.
Afghanistan is a notoriously murky operational environment. You can step on a lot of toes when you start messing around with secret ops in that part of the world.
Whatever happens, Assange has to know that he can never have a minute of peace for the rest of his life. There are people out there who have made it their life’s mission to take him down, and down hard. Some of them know what they’re doing.
Is that gawky looking kid walking toward him on the sidewalk actually a trained assassin with a suppressed pistol in the waistband of his jogging suit? Does that Volvo parked outside his neighbor’s house conceal a bomb in the trunk? Is the cable guy really a cable guy? Is that old fart in the parking lot a former KGB agent and is there a nasty surprise in the tip of his umbrella?
I’m very glad I don’t have to think about these things.
Where is the Congressional investigation?
(They're all on the HRC take)
How is it that this person is “openly homosexual” in the U.S. Army?
Wait until they start “helping” by whispering that Manning’s treason was justified by his — fill in the blank — outrage at being able apparently to serve as an “open homosexual” even though apparently Don’t Ask Don’t Tell is supposed to preclude homosexuals from serving openly.
Just wait until Obama & Gang start arguing that Manning is not being court-martialed because he’s a traitor, it’s only a witchhunt against him because he’s gay.
Just wait until the Human Rights Campaign argues that if “gays weren’t discriminated against in the military,” gay soldiers such as Manning wouldn’t “make mistakes” such as releasing 91,000 classified documents.
There will be no congressional investigation because no one will want it to be highlighted to the American people that this soldier was “openly homosexual” and that he was “livid with his ex-boyfriend” when he set about his crime.
We need to know why people without clean psychs are being given access to this information. Same goes for the USAMRIID scientist who killed himself while under suspicion for starting the anthrax attacks. Is there a lack of understanding of how to perform a psych screen? Is there too much trust in individuals?
the little fag broke Rule .308
I’m not sure his alleged homosexuality had anything to do with this.
It is not necessary to be sure. High probability of deceitful, vengeful, and irrational retaliation is all that is required.
Certainty is a condition we can not afford
Will security measures be put in place? Will names of allies be strictly classified? Will the leak of personal information from all the staff of wiki-licks be posted on the internet including financial, medical, employment, recreational?
There’s too much political correctness. Moreover, especially when it involves any type of sexual proclivity, there is too much of a “it’s only sex, it’s only his private life” garbage that obscures the way that behavior can reflect mental status and relational style.
How about a liberal tool?
The rational for the question was simple, those engaged in demented acts were considered a blackmail threat. Today they would probably be considered a hero. My guess is the DOD is probably developing a new ribbon for meritorious behavior to accommodate those previously outed the design of which I will leave to your imagination lest I be banned.
Sending the FBI to look for the melinin defiecient one. I would be looking for a Jason Bourne type to sic on him.
I agree with the point you are making, but I do have some reservations about your numbers. The Crusades were a last ditch defensive war against an expansive Islamic empire and therefore I believe they shouldn’t be put under the Christianity column, and my second point is that your numbers for the Spanish Inquisition may hold true if you mean all Inquisitions throughout history, though I would still argue that the 100,000 number is an extremely high estimate; however, the Spanish Inquisition itself only executed approximately 3,000-5,000 and was unique in that it was under the control of Spanish Monarchy not the Papacy and though on paper it was a religious inquisition in practice it seemed to be more about consolidating political power.
Sorry about the rambling post, but I just wanted to add my two cents.
He’s on suicide watch, how can I send him some rope?
