Manning Verdict in: guilty on all counts but one
Renegade:
From Nuremberg to Manning, the US government/Justice Department just made the case in favor of the Nazis. "I was just following orders! I had no duty to report human rights crimes that I witnessed or was ordered to participate in."
Slow clap for the evil bastards. You can now rewrite the history books and explain how the world was wrong to oppose the Nazis. Manning's a hero, as is Snowden. That's the people's verdict, and always will be.

Hi, Renegade
I wasn't aware Manning had been tortured. Can you point me to the details? BTW, "some of my best friends are Australians", from the years 'Razorback Railway', a great rail sim was programmed by Larry Lewis until it just got too frustrating and costly trying to work with 'Steam' et al : :-\

Really? I kind of thought that it was common knowledge. Lots of stories on it in the MSM and alternative media as well:
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/mar/12/bradley-manning-cruel-inhuman-treatment-un
http://rt.com/usa/bradley-manning-torture-un-727/
Tonnes more out there as well.

However, if you ask his captors, nothing they do is torture. They just define whatever they like as "not torture". I saw an interview with a former Navy Seal who was water boarded as part of his training, and was clear that water boarding is torture, which according to US "authorities", isn't. Go figure.
