US Subjected Manning to Cruel, Inhuman, Degrading Treatment, UN Torture Chief Concludes
Jason Leopold, Truthout: ''The United States government subjected 24-year-old Pvt. Bradley Manning to cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment following his arrest in May 2010 in Iraq on suspicion of leaking hundreds of thousands of secret State Department cables and other documents to WikiLeaks, the United Nations Special Rapporteur for Torture concluded in a long-awaited report.''

Bradley Manning Prosecution Incurably Infected by Government Misconduct
Kevin Zeese, Bradley Manning Support Network: ''Last week I spent two days in court for a pretrial motions hearing in the court martial of Bradley Manning, the private accused of leaking documents to WikiLeaks that showed widespread unethical and illegal behavior by the Department of Defense and State Department. Manning has suffered the fate the Queen put on Alice when she was in Wonderland, 'Sentence first, verdict afterwards.' By the time his court martial is actually held he will have been incarcerated for more than two years, one of those years was spent in solitary confinement. But, that is only one of many obvious injustices Manning is being subjected to.''

Manning and WikiLeaks are also credited with (and criminally accused of) release of the so-called 'Collateral Murder' video footage of the slaughter of Reuters reporters and other civilians by the US military in Baghdad. For his alleged role in this 'crime,' Manning is enduring one of the most aggressive legal prosecutions in American history.''

The president versus human rights
C4SS Center for a Stateless Society
by Darian Worden
US President Barack Obama, who campaigned on change and offered transparency, bears direct responsibility for the abuse, and possibly the torture, of Manning. Not surprising: This is the same president who signed indefinite detention without trial officially into US law, and who claims the authority to order the murder of anyone anywhere on his personal assertion that they are 'enemy combatants...
