"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."

"The nation that couldn’t be conquered by foreign enemies has been conquered by its elected officials" odawg Free Republic in reference to the GOP Elites who are no difference than the Democrats
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.
DUAC! DUAC!Sorry, couldn't help myself...
Holy shit, HNC...I think I recognize that guy in the back row...
I wonder if any of the DUmmies even remember what DUAC was? They seem to have such short and jumbled memories.
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?

They're pretty much the most psychotic, inbred fudge-packers ever to walk the earth.
