Update 8/2/13: Colbert Report’s great segment on Bradley, “my view from inside the courtroom”, Berlin rally pics
Bradley Manning: my view from inside the Fort Meade courtroom
The media loves to argue whether Manning is a hero or a traitor, but that is beside the point. This is about truth
Molly Crabapple, The Guardian. July 31, 2013
On a delicious July afternoon, US army private Bradley Manning sat in a Fort Meade, Maryland courtroom and waited to hear if he’d be declared guilty of treason….

He’s exactly right. The American people are the enemy of the murderous psychopaths who have hijacked the U.S. government.
Although I usually look things in different way to Colbert, I still think he sometime makes some nice arguments in certain topics. This time he made a powerful argument about the stupidity about the verdict and the judge, not aiding the enemy but convicted with Espionage charge.
we are in a dangerous time in this USA as
we have a government of the government and not a government of the people and how can a man be esponage
and not having a enemy and it appears like the enemy
is the US government as it can trump up charges better
than old Russia
Congress never declared war. So how is it constitutionally possible to consider a charge of aiding the enemy? It was thown out for the wrong reason. The resolution authorizing force that Bush passed, did not define “the enemy”. I’m a conservative christian who would never vote democratic, but Manning and Snowden are heroes in my book.
The government is out of control though it has achieved critical mass. It is like overheated nuclear reactor that can’t be cooled. The fed gov. is the enemy.
