Manning grew more intense as he went on. Berg and Taitz seemed to
squirm in their chairs; Berg started taking quiet cell phone calls
before Manning evoked the memories of Africans who lost their lives
"packed like sardines" onto slave ships, now in "a watery grave." "Do

your savior? I don't think they want to wake up to that. I think they
want to keep sleeping in that grave until true justice might be
given."
