One word...Iraq.C'mon Bear, this is the real world.
If the US wants something from the UN, it pulls the puppet strings and gets it. :roll:

Find me one against the US...that veto power works great for both of them don't it?
See above response.
Sovereign eh. So is Lybia, Afghanistan, Iraq and every other f*cking country on this planet but that don't stop the UN when it is the US pulling the puppet strings!
There are questions about his treatment and the term 'torture' is among them. I have to agree, nothing to hide then it shouldn't be a problem.
This obviously doesn't apply to all the other sovereign countries of the world in your little brainwashed mind, or does it?
Oh yeah, go ahead and ask him about how bad we treat him while we watch and listen witha few goons in the room. Do you really have any idea of coersion and intimidation techniques?
Sure they do, they pick and choose as they please all the time.The entire point is that the UN does NOT have any right in any sense to challenge the practiscs in American jails while they ignore China, who murders thousands in its prisons every year.....after harvesting their internal organs for sale.
That and some other claims that have been made.And the UN wants to investigate the fact that Manning is forced to sleep without his undies.
Hmmm, who is the president of the UN? Who has used or threatened to use the veto in the UN more than all others combined? Who ignores the UN when it suits them and then cries foul when others ignore the UN?And you think the USA runs the UN!!!!!
I couldn't care less. Except that the UN complaining of a lack of co-operation is ridiculous when they do not DARE confront the worst nations on earth.....and the demand for entrance is a violation of sovereignty of the nation.
The Quran burning Pastor, is still free.The point is actually that the US claims to be this great bastion of freedom but seems to have a different set of rules when it comes to their own actions.
I'll support them, as soon as they come back from Gaza, China, and so on.That and some other claims that have been made.
Mr. Alfredo MorenoHmmm, who is the president of the UN?
Russia?Who has used or threatened to use the veto in the UN more than all others combined?
People on CC forum?Who ignores the UN when it suits them and then cries foul when others ignore the UN?
That's not much of a self-seving pro-US statement is it?I'll support them, as soon as they come back from Gaza, China, and so on.
My mistake there, Obama is chair of the security council, not pres. of the general assembly (Joseph Deiss/Switzerland)Mr. Alfredo Moreno
US, well over 200 times, mostly in support of Israel (go figure)Russia?
Yeah, but not quite as much as the US.People on CC forum?
No, that's a statement denoting how I find the UN to be morally and ethically bankrupt.That's not much of a self-seving pro-US statement is it?
Jesus Colpy - After that naked comment my head is filled with Horror - I am reporting you to the UN Rights Commission for Horrible Images presented in public. My Gawd, Another beer bar mistress, hopefully this will soothe the pain. Yes I will send you the tab.Since when does the bloody useless UN get to demand entrance to an American prison to pass judgement on the treatment of a vicious little weasel?????
Tell them to go insist on inspecting jails in China, or Zimbabwe, or the Sudan, or Syria, or Iran, or anyone of the 90% of nations that are MUCH worse than the USA.......
But no......
There has NOT even been a serious accusation of torture!!!!!!!!!!
First, isolation. As I've said a dozen times, let the scrawny, gay, whiny, treasonous little bastard out into the normal population of US Marines that can't follow the rules. Now THAT would not be torture, he wouldn't live long enough. Have you people never heard of protective custody????
Making him sleep naked. Hell, I sleep naked. My wife might consider it torture, but I don't. Perhaps he should quit threatening to hang himself with his shorts.
Just p[lain stupidity.
And how secretive is the US compared to China. Would you like to compare their Humans Rights? He is being held in prison. He has access to a lawyer, paid for by the Govt. It will all come out at his Courts Martial.Just to clarify, Coply, the UN has in fact criticized other countries like China. Why should the US be granted special treatment? If it has nothing to hide, then show itself better than China and let the guy in? Why should the US follow China's lead in being so secretive?
My son is a military aviator and flies in the Air Transport Service. He told me Manning is being moved from Quantico to Leavenworth which will have much more suitable accomodations for a pre-trial UCMJ case. The move will take place next week.

They should just let him go. The guy's a hero. A hero I tells ya!

Yeah! Kind of like Charlie Manson. Or Benedict Arnold. Or Ethel and Julius Rosenberg.
lol.
That just ain't happening. You know it... I know it. This boy is done.
The stuff he's leaked has been pretty good YJ. Especially the Guantanamo leak that was just revealed. That place was a borderline concentration camp and we - ze people - let it happen.
How were the Allied Prisoners of War treated by the Japanese? Or the Germans?
Do Al Quaeda detainees deserve better? They were captured in civilian clothes. They never signed the Geneva Convention. In normal times, i.e, with no political correctness, they would have been shot on sight.
