so here’s an art idea. i’m blatantly copying amnesty intl, but didn’t someone say that copying someone is the best form of flattery?
anyway, to gain attention regarding the conditions at guantanamo bay, they re-created one of the cells there – i think it was in the back of a truck, and they invited people to come sit in the cell for 5-10 minutes a piece.
since brad is in solitary, why don’t we create a cardboard “cell” – and at future actions, we invite people to sit inside the cardboard walls for a few minutes to simulate being in solitary. we of course don’t have to take people’s clothes, but we can make them precisely aware of the fact that if they were brad, this would happen to them. also, part of this art installation would be a matress on the ground or on a really awful cot.
this “cell” could be portable and go from action to action – it would be easy to make, put up and take down, and the most important part about it would be inviting people, random passerby and everyone, to interact with it. nothing spreads the message of suffering as well as safe, sanitized re-creation of it. people who might not understand why solitary confinement is torture would get a much better idea by sitting in the “cell” for a few minutes.
and of course, all participation would be completely voluntary, and if no volunteers or curious passer-by came foward, then protestors could use the “cell” as a visual protest tool.
so there’s my idea. i hope this helps get our creative juices flowing!
I AM AN ATTORNEY WITH OVER 32V YEARS TRIAL EXPERIENCE AND WOULD LIKE TO VOLUNTEER MY TIME IN HIS DEFENSE

We created and recorded a song for Bradley. It’s posted at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijWyzQapZqo
and we welcome people to download the song and make videos of their own with it.
This action against one individual who is an American citizen, showsfully how America is acting as a ReAtionary Body aginst there own citizen, shown by The Gov. reaction to this one Issue(guantanamo bay)brought up by one Individual(citizen)concerning a pice of America, where the rules,of America,Constitution, do not apply,
I suggest that the motto for Baradley Manning’s actions shoud be the very words of Mahatma Ghandi: “When injustice becomes a law, disobiedience is a moral obligation”

N.B. Je regrette de n’avoir pu remplir avec succès votre formulaire de donation. Problème à revoir pour les contributions hors USA ?
N.B.bis I am happy to know that you will eventually receive my very modest contribution. Note that I was informed at home this morning by a phone call suggesting that my money account could be in danger asking if I really made a donation ! This imply that your acknowledgment message figures in France on some security control list.
I have made donations with Paypal, and my Visa, but now am cut off! I will try Amex next. This proves that even sending money electronically will never be free from a political agenda.
Reading the scripts of the conversation between manning and lamo (the man who informed on manning to the authorities) as published here http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2011/07/manning-lamo-logs it becomes very clear that manning is a SHE not a he. She says so several times. She was planning to start her physical transition as soon as she returned to U.S. soil and at one point explains that although she doesn’t care about the risk of prison or execution, she does care that her picture will be published around the world as a boy, and that she will be referred to as HE. Since this is clearly against her wishes, since she clearly identifies as SHE, can people please please start respecting this?
Bradley is high on our national news in the UK and so he should be, possibly a braver man than any top brass of the US army. He has reported the so called un-reportable to the shame of a very small minority. So times in life we have to make brave decisions and Bradley deserves a medal not a sentence. The stupidity of Bradleys trial is that we already know the outcome. I love America and the people of America are the warmest kindest people on earth, but you must question your politicians are you really the land of the free. God bless you Bradley and good luck, because you need it mate! Love & Freedom Terry Mc
He is a traitor and should be found guilty and actually hung after being found guilty!!
Americans are some worthwhile, and Bradley is one of those.
This quotation was taken from a latin newspaper:
“(…) These files were later found in the public domain site Wikileaks and included a video taken from a U.S. helicopter attacking a group of civilians in Baghdad and hear the laughter of the crew when they are shooting.”

Bradley Manning you are a hero and South America supports you.
The Sarbanes Oxley Act (SOX) requires the protection of whistleblowers. It incorporates a legal rule that the informer of a scandal shall be protected.
Now you can say that this idea does not pertain to military affairs which would mean that the military can afford any kind of scandal – an interesting point of view if you consider the idea that the military shall help to establish civilized and democratic structures in the middle east countries. This would be an actual contradiction.
Or you say that the legal point incorprated in the Sarbanes Oxley Act is a universal idea which pertains to every legal area. Then you have to set Bradley Manning free. Tertium non datur.
Evil propogates when honest people stay silent. Although the American government has always has taken the front seat in control freakery it is endemic throughout the western world. What has happened to Bradley is just another example of big corrupt government doing whatever it needs to to keep control. You have to ask yourself who is it that benefits from western goverment policy, it is cetainly not the greater majority. No we are used and abused by the powers that be as cannon fodder to protect big money interests. For the love of humanity we have to wake people up, or we will sleep walk into oblivion.
Bradley Manning did what is right for our country our republican politicians should do the same
Our government has been abusing Bradley Manning by keeping him in solitary confinement for months and is now prosecuting him for revealing government “secrets”, which as far as we know are mostly confidential diplomatic cables. To say nothing of the destruction we subjected Iraq and its people to for more than eight years. Meanwhile, we have carelessly left behind in Iraq “secret” documents in a junkyard in Iraq. Appalling.

I wish I could tell Mr. Bradley Manning personally that he is one of the few lights in this world, an actual hero. I wish him strength, endurance and the good luck that one needs to see that what he has done was right, is appreciated by many and will hopefully be also good for him personally in the end.
I believe that one of the people most interested in seeing him prosecuted is Hillary Clinton. She stands on the dias next to bush and cheney. She should be so very ashamed as am I, of her.
(For Bradley):
“OPERATION SANTA CLAWS”
Was there really a Santa Claws?
Well, yes indeed, quite true ~
Surprised? You like ‘hard facts’?
Most of us do, too ~
I’d like to ask these men
Who found it so amusing
Did their bellies shake…?
When they decided, “This, we’re using!”
“OPERATION SANTA CLAWS”
Is WAR, to some, a joke? ~
“Find the terrorists!”
“We HAVE” OOPS! (I misspoke…)
They waited til the dark
‘And brought their little toys’
Not quiet as a mouse
But terrorizing noise…
First, we’ll kick your door in,
Then we’ll shout at you
Offer us resistance…?
Go ahead – Please DO!
Women and children crying…
Hooray! Santa Claws is here!!
This WAR (they have) ON TERROR
Well, part of it is fear…
A man is now on trial ~
Right NOW! At Christmas time!
PEACE ON EARTH is all they want
Their message, so sublime ~
“How dare you question US!”
“Our heroes, now in danger!!”
This GOD you TRUST so much…
Is he some lost evil stranger?
Cross-examine YOURSELVES
You’re sick, and full of guile
And ‘out’ the mad, rude elves
Who kill ~ HO HO ~ and smile
“I’ll leave this on the table”
It will give you energy…
Come to the LIGHT you fools
“GOD BLESS” ~ our Dear Bradley…

I am so enlivened by the comments here and on other sites,there is a growing awareness of what is really going on. The great dragedy is that in the US as in the UK and most of the west there is no real alternative to government of the greedy for the greedy by the greedy. We must forget about party politics and look for honourable voices to support. If you ever get to read these words Bradley you are a true hero , and millions of people support your shout of freedom.
A lawyer for 32 years, only pretends to offer help. All lawyers are liars! I have been in military prison when they served bread & water, so why is Bradley still wearing that uniform, if they are going kill him anyways? Its because his lawyers have lied to him, just as the media has lied to you. These petitions and protests change nothing. So where is the REAL change? When is ANYONE going to take the oath and our constitution seriously? Without a constitution, what do you have? NOT MUCH!
My thoughts go out to you and your family Bradley, what a hell you all are going through, you have my full support and a donation will be sent ASAP!
Best wishes and season greetings from Denmark
If this world were not so mad then Bradley Manning would not be facing life in prison. However, it IS mad and all I can say is thank you Pfc. Manning for your courage and bravery, best of luck and best wishes from Ireland. If only everyone had such courage to face injustice, the world would be a better place. Unfortunately most are greedy and small-minded and for that I have no faith in humanity! But people like Manning provide hope and inspiration and we can only aspire to better things… Here’s to enlightenment, peace and goodwill throughout the world! Keep fighting the good fight!
I support Breanna Manning. There’s lots of info that Bradley Manning is transgender, female-identified, and prefers the name Breanna. Let’s help really support her & call her by her preferred name.

I wish the trained stooged running for the GOP nomination had enough back bone to say something about this injustice and prove they love freedom and America as much as they say they do.
Report a crime not a crime.
Denunciar un delito no es un crimen, si se acusa de filtrar datos del gobierno de EU significa que los crimenes son reales y se debiera investigar tambien a los autores de esos crimenes.
Bradley Manning is a traitor and a disgrace to the Army and the country. He deserves everything that’s coming to him.
The traitors and disgraces here are the perpetrator of these heinous acts committed while representing America and not the person who brought these terror creating crimes to light.
All the terrible and evil things our government has done, they should be the ones locked up.
