Sounds like he’s being treated the same as any other prisoner in a Supermax prison.

What’s the big deal?? I’d rather see all Supermax prisoners at hard labor.

I’d like to know how a PFC with seven years’ service (that in itself is weird) had access to highly classified documents. Who the hell was his CO ?


A very good question...which is why I am not so quick to execute Manning. If his commanding officers let him have access to all those classified files....that is dereliction of duty at the least.

People above Manning have to be involved

The question of whether Wikileaks is an anti-American conspiracy is not relevant to the case of Bradley Manning. What Manning is accused of doing is morally wrong, illegal and treasonous, regardless of to whom he passed this information, and what was done with it.

How a pervert, first class, got top secret clearance to that stuff is so 'effin scary I lose sleep thinking of turning sodomists and their boy friends loose with NUCLEAR WEAPONS CLEARANCE...

When I was in, rank had nothing to do with clearance level. If I had the proper clearance and the need to know, then I was allowed access. The system that allowed this should be on trial, as well. Not only that, but those who completed this traitor's background check and didn't notice anything about his lifestyle choice should be in prison right along side him. It was apparently very well known in his high school and hometown that he putted from the rough.

A significant part of obtaining a clearance is that you have nothing in your history that would allow you to be blackmailed by others, as well as your loyalty to country. Since it's hard to verify loyalty, then the true search should be anything he could be blackmailed over - that would most certainly include his perversion.

What about his superiors or supervisors responsible for managing this guy? Why is no one else in the brig for this crime. I find it hard to believe that this guy all by himself is left without any supervision to access and download hundreds of thousands of documents with no alert going off. Conspiracy?

It’s not exactly Devil’s Island. It’s not even Sheriff Arapaio’s pink boxers jail. “Only” an hour of TV? Get the waaaahhm-bulance.

IIRC, PFC Manning wasn't complying with DADT. He was EXTROVERTLY GAY. He did what he could to annoy his superiors and tried to embarrass them using the media.

THAT is likely the reason he stayed a PFC.

Artist: Haggard Merle
Song: Mama Tried
Album: For the Record: 43 Legendary Hits

The first thing I remember knowing,
Was a lonesome whistle blowing,
And a young un’s dream of growing up to ride;
On a freight train leaving town,
Not knowing where I’m bound,
No-one could change my mind but Mama tried.
One and only rebel child,
From a family, meek and mild:
My Mama seemed to know what lay in store.
Despite all my Sunday learning,
Towards the bad, I kept on turning.
‘Til Mama couldn’t hold me anymore.

And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole.
No-one could steer me right but Mama tried, Mama tried.
Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading, I denied.
That leaves only me to blame ‘cos Mama tried.

Instrumental break.

Dear old Daddy, rest his soul,
Left my Mom a heavy load;
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes.
Working hours without rest,
Wanted me to have the best.
She tried to raise me right but I refused.

And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole.
No-one could steer me right but Mama tried, Mama tried.
Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading, I denied.
That leaves only me to blame ‘cos Mama tried.

You knew he’d be a reader of Howard Zinn. Maybe “The Won” will send him an autographed copy of Alinsky.

Zinn will reinforce his self-image as the victim of his own treason....

What'd he expect - its prison

From what I understand these conditions are luxurious compared to what the soldier experienced in military prisons several decades ago.
