I Am Bradley Manning

1. I like how they attack the strawman with their &quot;aiding the enemy&quot; means &quot;the public is the enemy?!?&quot; claim. They were suspiciously quiet about the news OBL (presumably an enemy) had information leaked by Pfc. Manning.<p>But I suppose propaganda techniques are only wrong when it&#x27;s the government or McDonald&#x27;s, eh?<p>2. Manning has <i>explicitly</i> been removed from death penalty consideration earlier in the trial process. The prosecutor had to make that declaration already, so it&#x27;s not something they can back out of. But I guess lies are only wrong when said by the government?<p>3. I&#x27;m not so sure that they would <i>want</i> him to take credit for the tens of thousands of persons killed in the aggregate from Arab Spring uprisings. Even if we consider the formation of democracies a benefit worth the price, that same exact logic would also justify the 2003 invasion of Iraq...<p>3a. &quot;There is no evidence that anyone died as a result of the leaked information...&quot;. Contrast with &quot;The information that Bradley gave to the public has been a catalyst for pro-democracy movements in the Arab world...&quot;.<p>Alright guys, either have the cake, or eat the cake. If he truly catalyzed the Arab Spring then some number of persons died as a result of the leaked information. If no one died because of information he leaked then why try to claim credit for those uprisings?

i hope he gets the prize, he will be the first winner jailed by another peace prize winner, fucking hilarious.

imho, great video, but please change the initial video screenshot.<p>The pre-play screenshot seems a bit angry, and Im note sure how it ties in? In contrast, the content of the video I think was on-target, and thought provoking.<p>A shot of manning being &#x27;escorted&#x27; to trial, or just his face would be more suitable I think.<p>or you could lead with the text slide &quot;Is truth the Enemy? ..&quot;.. which is impactful.<p>Thanks for doing this!

FWIW I do believe Bradley Manning deserves moral and legal support. But this video is both propagandistic and vague. Like, except for 3 or 4 Hollywood celebrities, who are these people? And are they doing more than making a video?

These people clearly missed the point of Manning&#x27;s leaks.<p>Its like how Christians worship Jesus instead of God. The point of the leaks was to shed light on the atrocities committed by the government not so that Manning is glorified into some sort of saint. I mean, I&#x27;m all for doing that- but wtf is the point when the same atrocities will happen again on some other day. You can argue that so that future leakers will get protection- well let me remind you there won&#x27;t be any future leakers present anyway. The government will certainly start to smarten up about who they choose that pulls the trigger.

Nobel Peace Prize nominee? Citation? Nobel Laureates are expressly prohibited from talking about the nomination process until 50 years after the fact.

This issue is unifying a lot of people

The site features another falsehood: &quot;There is no evidence that anyone died as a result of the leaked information&quot;<p>Not true. The cables contained the actual names of Afghans who helped us fight the Taliban. Once their names were exposed, unredacted, via the Wikileaks calbes, &quot;punishment&quot; and death -- courtesy of the ascendant Taliban leaders -- came quickly.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;pjmedia.com&#x2F;richardfernandez&#x2F;2010&#x2F;07&#x2F;28&#x2F;murphy-rides-again&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;pjmedia.com&#x2F;richardfernandez&#x2F;2010&#x2F;07&#x2F;28&#x2F;murphy-rides-...</a><p>Wretchard continues his story:<p>&quot;Yet the dead are the lucky ones. The more unfortunate may wind up in a torture chamber similar to one found by Coldstream Guards. It features such amenities as chains to hang prisoners from walls. Not that the inmates would want to walk on the floor: that features broken glass. And there is limb amputation, kneecapping with an electric drill, eye gouging, bone-breaking or ritual rape to smash the will. Where the offender is not himself available punishment will be visited on his relatives.&quot;<p>No, the antics of Manning and Assange were not without bad consequences.
