American torture leaves Bradley Manning catatonic


The title of the thread is misleading, the article's title doesn't say 'American torture'. It would be nice if people actually stuck to the title of the article instead of putting their own bias spin on it.. :roll:

Do you think anyone really cares about that little twerp. He is a profit motivated traitor. As for Bill Clinton, he was impeached and it is over.
For a people who supposedly love freedom above everything else, you sure wallow in your slavery. The little twerp should be a hero for exposing the corruption of your government, but the status quo must be maintained at all costs, even if that cost is your beloved freedom. You are no less chattel to the multinationals than anybody else. Your politicians are nothing less than paid actors giving you the illusion of a republic while fleecing you just like every other despotic government. Time to remove your heads from your rectal cavities and rise up against the oppressor.

Clinton wasn't impeached and he got away with treason of passing on nuclear technologies. Why?
Bill Clinton, President of the United States,was impeachedby the House of Representatives on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice on December 19, 1998. Who knows why they let him get away with giving China those chips.

Manning made the unilateral decision to expose what he thought were/are unsavory issues relative to the US (and other) gvts.. Who the hell was he to make those decisions? He is one person that sees one small aspect of the entire picture... That doesn't mean he was right or warranted in his actions.

Who knows what the immediate ramifications of his actions were, let alone the potential long term consequences. In his own way, Manning decided that he would take it upon himself to act as Lord and Master and may have taken on the role of the enslaver in the process.

Time to stop glorifying those traitors who only try to hurt our country. He had other ways to expose those papers, but he chose the cowards way probably wanted to get out of the military, well he soon will be out. (to bad he destroyed his life). If you only knew what kind of damage you and your kind (people with no responsibility to anyone or thing, so self believing that they are the seat of world knowledge) do to the world. How about trying to straighten out your own government, smaller should make it much simpler to work with unless it is already messed up also.

Because I'm not running the world. :)
That prick needed to be strung up and made an example of but the Lewinsky bull**** story was far too good a cover and it worked. Kind of like how Sheen is being used while the economic collapse starts to find it's way to those employed by the state who are being layed off in record numbers leaving the saftey and security of the US people's asses flapping in the wind.

Time to stop glorifying those traitors who only try to hurt our country.
Then why the **** is the wife of one of the biggest traitors of all time sitting as sec of state?

Did you expect him to first surround himself with like minded people before releasing the info? The world has been changed more by individuals following their conscience than by revolutions. Violent revolutions guarantee the maintenance of the status quo.

And you think glorifying a traitor, with hero status, who put peoples lives at risk, is changing the world for the better?

A rat is a rat is a rat. I say that about the double agent rats that were put at risk. A rat ratting on rats is what? A rat?

You chose to glorify the Clinton rats as heroes. Why? They are rats.

There is more to this saga than the press is delivering (or perhaps being allowed to know about).

I am not defending harmful treatment of prisoners but we are hearing all the negative news on a regular basis so nothing is being "kept" from the public - but I have to ask a couple of things.

What makes him qualified for "special treatment" - the system is probably maintaining the same routine for him as other prisoners and often gays are kept apart from the predatory population.

Prison for an angry gay man is hell on earth unless he is segregated carefully and cautiously and perhaps to save his life - he is making great drama out of his loss of communication and his recent friendship with Assange has managed to get his message out - it has all the drama of Les Miserable.

I am sorry but there is no secret being made of his harsh treatment - his isolation may be preserving his life as he appears to be easy
pickings for what is housed in that type of facility. I prefer to know exactly what is happening to him rather than being kept out of the information sharing loop.

I think nobody is more surprised at the level of punishment he has received than the man himself - but somehow I feel he has found yet another outlet to complain about and dramatize. The descriptive of his "catatonia" amuses me - as it has such deep levels of people "guessing" something is wrong so he doesn't have to keep telling is story over and over.

He should be relieved he remains alive....his companions could care less why he is imprisoned and who he is....only what they can do to him.

What about the stain and Kennith Star!!!???
What stain? The one you saw on TV? You don't believe everything you see on TV do you? What did they show on TV when it came to the nuke tech deal for debt relief treasonous deal?

I've never met a woman in my life who doesn't freak out over a stain instead of hanging on to the damn thing.

How many Canadians got their **** in a knot when Canada was swinging similar deals? Have you been to one of our UNESCO debt relief parks lately? Why no **** in a knot? Because they were never told or were told but were distracted by blow jobs and clear cut forests.
