bemildred (6995 posts) March 29, 2018 at 7:17 amBradley Manning: We Got ThisAlmost one year has passed since Bradley Manning was released from the U.S Army prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Manning, the most famous Army whistleblower, served seven years of a 35-year sentence for leaking hundreds of thousands of classified records about the American wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The day after receiving that sentence in 2014, he released a statement that read in part: “As I transition into this next phase of my life, I want everyone to know the real me. I am Bradley Manning. I am a male.” President Barack Obama commuted his sentence before he left office, and he has not wasted any time, announcing a run for the U.S. Senate seat in Maryland.Appearing on the “Democracy Now!” news hour, he talked about his newfound freedom: “It’s overwhelming. I wake up some days, and I’m not sure that this is actually happening. I’m seeing more and more of the world and how it’s become the world I feared a decade ago.”===Manning was held in a cage in Kuwait, then moved to a Navy brig in Quantico, Virginia, where he continued to be held in solitary confinement. He described solitary as “a practice that needs to be ended everywhere. Nothing justifies doing this to any human being.”===Bradley Manning is now embarking on that life. Part of that is running in the June primary against Sen. Ben Cardin to be the Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate. “Cardin has been in Maryland politics for 40 years,” he says. “He’s been behind a desk that whole time. What experience can he bring to the table? I have life experience. I’ve been homeless. I’ve been to prison. I’ve been to war.”https://www.truthdig.com/articles/chelsea-manning-we-got-this/

Are MD Ds THAT stupid that they would vote for Bradley? Or is this like Cindy Sheehan several years ago trying to Primary Miss Nancy?Whatever the cases, this will be D $$ unavailable for the November election.
