Manning Supporters Want Prez Pardon
A super-sized version of Army Pfc. Bradley Manning's face was projected onto a D.C. building Tuesday night, along with the word "hero." It was part of a demonstration organized by supporters of Manning, who say he's not a criminal but a truth-seeking whistleblower. Let's look at the history books in fifty years, shall we? O.K., you look at the history books in 50 years - I shan't be here. Gerry Condon is with Veterans for Peace, ...a commie front group and progressive bunch of rabble-rousers... one of the event organizers. "If, you know, people had listened to what Bradley Manning released three years ago, the Afghan war diaries, and saw that our politicians and even our military leaders were lying to us about the progress of that war, we wouldn't still have our soldiers dying there today." It might not, you know, be that simple, Gerry, you know? Emma Cape with the Bradley Manning Support Network wants President Barack Obama to pardon Manning. "There is an official application in the works to ask President Obama to stand behind his promises when he said that he was going to protect whistleblowers and have the most transparent government in U.S. History," she said. Not until he (and the ever-charming Michelle) are out of office - 2016, 2020, 2024 - whenever. By the way, Emma, do share with us any other evidence of his "transparent government".
