Why is the US Torturing Pvt Manning? - Page 2

**mothernature** · 03-19-2011, 03:46 AM

Anyone who saw that video knows that what Manning did was the right thing to do.

It's too easy to kill a bunch of innocents and then place the "top secret" label on it to try to hide what really happened. For what? So America wouldn't look bad? So the world wouldn't know that our technology is so poor, our servicemen can't tell the difference between a gun and a camera?

Also, has Manning been convicted of any crimes yet? What happened to "innocent until proven guilty"?

Or maybe they could make him hang around with you for the rest of his life.

That is some sick shit. Will they get the same treatment as Manning? Hardly.

They're the ones that should be sitting in solitary confinement awaiting trial. yet they prolly are gonna get combat medals and preferential treatment. This shit makes me ashamed to be an American.
