Reply #17: Manning's treatment

[90-percent]

His treatment by our government is analogous to a cartel drug lord murdering your family because you stiffed him in a drug deal.

He is a warning to all American whistle blowers that if you leak sensitive info, your own government will take away your human rights and torture you for months or years without even a trial.

Kinda like what happened to people in Stalinist Russia. Only dif is magnitude.

I also think it's cute that elected Congressman Kucinich, who sits on the military oversight committee (forgot exact name?), essentially gets told by the military to go fuck off over even speaking to Manning. Pretty consistent with our current state of Military Industrial Congressional Complex.
