Even if in military you're guilty untill proven innocense then how is it that they conviniently removed the part where he has a change to prove himself innocent?
And to all those who says "it's not torture". Yeah you say that from the comfort of your home. You wouldn't last a month in the same conditions.

Calm down Sir. This isn't fox news, I don't think anyone wants a conversation consisting of screaming, name calling, and enjoying one's own smug.
I am neither for or against Manning, because I don't know what the results of his actions will be. But as for everyone who was for him, just because he's a hero, a martyr in your eyes, doesn't mean that he shouldn't be in prison. He committed a crime and he is in the brig because of it.
Next, the few rights that he still have aren't being violated. He is being put through normal jail house procedures. How many of you complain when a federal inmate or an inmate in a state prison goes through the same thing over and over for life.
I'm here because as a Marine, I have had to stand guard, I have stood suicide watch (had a flash back to bootcamp and my blue lens moon beam), I have had to keep watch over prisoners for 12 hour shifts. The last thing that they want is for this soldier to get hurt in their custody.
Lastly, think to yourselves. This man is in military detention, the brig, prison. If they were torturing him, theres no way a letter detailing his abuse would get out. They read every letter that goes out. The letter the Manning wrote, that some use as evidence that he's being treated inhumanely only shows how uncomfortable he is. He is going through normal prison life for someone that has committed a crime of this nature, and that has the star status that he's gotten.edit on 13-4-2011 by Santh because: (no reason given)edit on 13-4-2011 by Santh because: (no reason given)
