Unbelievable. The irony of Germany lecturing anyone, but especially us, on the treatment of "prisoners" is palpable.

He’s lucky he hasn’t already faced a firing squad.

Execute him for treason. That will solve the problem..................

Private Manning’s defense lawyer has complained that his client is being held under unjustifiably restrictive conditions, including being largely isolated in his cell 23 hours a day and being stripped of his clothing each night and given a suicide-proof smock to wear to bed.

Counselor's objection is reasonable. Why should Pvt. Manning be prevented from killing himself?

[ScottinVA]

Actually, maybe they’re right. Manning should be put in general population. Then run an office pool on how long the little poofter survives.

the German Parliament is obviously way underemployed

What have they said lately about Iran and North Korean prisoners?

Suicide watch is common. If they didn't do that and he killed himself then the same turds would be crying about how that hadn't been prevented. Let's get real, the real issue is that he's incarcerated all together.

However, that said, I can't pick on the Germans too much for they are very “consistent” in their twisted and dysfunctional perceptions. There is a reason why near all RAF terrorists are free today. Why Americans that committed murder are not handed over to us unless we make promises that death is off the table. Why Rudolf Augstein publishing classified material about their Tornado years past that was incarcerated by Franz J. Strauss who was the head of the ministry of defense caused Strauss to have to resign! Think about that! A $hithead published “classified” materials in his smear rag Der Spiegel and Strauss, the only person with a pair, has him thrown in jail (Within the law I might add), causing Strauss to eventually have to resign because of all his political peers and superiors being limpwritsed!

The Germans in the past have actually had their own events similar to this and they generally acted like wimps then too. Those that took action like Franz Joseph Strauss ended up being sacrificed on their version of a politically correct altar: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Josef_Strauss (One of the last great German politicians)

Seriously, the Germans are simply emasculate. View them as such and their opinions on Manning make complete sense.

Never forget the people doing this complaining are the commies that just TWO decades ago would shoot “prisoners” trying to escape East Berlin. THE EXACT SAME EVIL CLOWNS. They have no shame.

If the Germans really want to help him, they should lower the prices on their cars. Yeah...a new Porsche 911 for say $5,000. A new Mercedes E class for oh, I don’t know, how about $2,500. Then, he would feel like Germany really cared for him. Yep, that’s the trick. Come on you Bundestag Babies and help this poor guy out! Even better, give away your cars in America! We could use them for shopping carts. Have a heart!
