Bradley Manning's health deteriorating in jail, supporters say

As Julian Assange emerged from his nine-day imprisonment, there were renewed concerns about the physical and psychological health of Bradley Manning, the former US intelligence analyst suspected of leaking the diplomatic cables at the centre of the storm.
Manning, who was arrested seven months ago, is being held at a military base in Virginia and faces a court martial and up to 52 years in prison for his alleged role in copying the cables.
His friends and supporters also claim they have been the target of extra-judicial harassment, intimidation and outright bribery by US government agents.
According to David House, a computer researcher from Boston who visits Manning twice a month, he is starting to deteriorate. "Over the last few weeks I have noticed a steady decline in his mental and physical wellbeing," he said. "His prolonged confinement in a solitary holding cell is unquestionably taking its toll on his intellect; his inability to exercise due to regulations has affected his physical appearance in a manner that suggests physical weakness."

2. We need to contact Amnesty International and the International Red Cross,
not the American Red Cross, and push on them to look into this detention.

I know my opinion on WIKILeaks may not be what is popular here. However, Assange has done nothing technically illegal or traitorous. Did it hurt the Obama Regime? Yes. Was this as bad as putting our local allies against the Taliban? No. But the regime will go after him for embarrassing them.
Manning did commit treason and he is under UCMJ. Manning should be put up against a wall.

Serious question for the military people in this blog (Thank you for your service).
Why is Bradley Manning the only one in the Brig? Where was his immediate superior and his superior?
How can some one so low in rank have such access to information and the capabilities to send the info?
his inability to exercise due to regulations has affected his physical appearance in a manner that suggests physical weakness."Uh, he wasn't exactly the pinnacle of masculinity before...
They're pretty much the most psychotic, inbred fudge-packers ever to walk the earth. :loser:So, THAT's what my ex-wife's family looks like

I do like to hear his health is deteriorating. :-) ****IN' TRAITOR!
How many times do I have to say this--hanging is for traitors! Firing squads are for deserters and murderers!OK. I'm good with that BSS. :-)

I'm worried too!!!!!Is that Cheech Marin in the front row?
I think we should immediately transfer the colossal douchebag to Chino. He has some friends there who think he's cute, and they'd like to meet him. :-)
