- Ephesians 5:8-11
THIS man tells it like it is! Well said Judge Napolitano, thank you! The hypocrisy of the American government on this case is breathtaking. The Obama administration demands the Cuban government release U.S. citizen Alan Gross who has been charged by them basically with the same "crimes" as Bradley Manning while justifying the imprisonment and torture of Bradley Manning (find earlier post concerning both men by searching for Alan Gross on this blog). Also check out the latest action by the British Parliament concerning the imprisonment of Bradley Manning (see below).

Bradley Manning Support Network Praises British Parliament
Bradley Manning Support Network Praises British Parliamentary Initiative to
Intervene on Behalf of Accused WikiLeaks Whistleblower
On anniversary of the publication of WikiLeaks’ “Collateral Murder,”
activists applaud U.K. Parliamentary motion to raise Manning’s
pretrial conditions with U.S. officials
April 5, 2011, San Francisco, CA -- The Bradley Manning Support
Network applauds the United Kingdom’s motion to intervene on behalf of
the accused whistleblower. Manning, held in solitary confinement for
over nine months, is alleged to have leaked a video showing two
employees of Reuters news agency being shot and killed by American
soldiers. Today marks the one-year anniversary of the publication of
that video on the whistleblower website WikiLeaks.
In the House of Commons, Welsh Member of Parliament (MP) Ann Clwyd
sponsored an early-day motion urging UK officials to confront the
United States about the harsh pretrial confinement of Manning, who is
held in conditions many have likened to torture. The motion has been
supported by 37 MPs thus far. Henry Bellingham, the Foreign Office
Minister, promised to raise the issue of Manning’s confinement
conditions with the U.S. State Department.
Manning’s mother is Welsh and lives in Pembrokeshire, and thus Manning
can claim dual citizenship by birthright. Bellingham has acknowledged
that Ann Clwyd’s “understanding of the British Nationality Act is
accurate” – namely, that Manning automatically acquired U.K.
citizenship at birth.
“We welcome the support of the MPs, who join Amnesty International and
activists worldwide in urging the U.S. to end this inhumane pretrial
punishment,” said Jeff Paterson, steering committee member of the
Bradley Manning Support Network and project director of Courage to
Resist.
“Thirty-seven British parliamentarians have shown their commitment to
justice and a fair trial,” said steering committee member Mike
Gogulski. “We hope to see twice as many American legislators respond
with a similar motion.”
The Bradley Manning Support Network has raised over $250,000 thus far
toward the defense of the accused whistleblower.
