#8  Come now, Rambler - I'm sure you could give him a fair trial before he's hanged.

#7  I would cheerfully volunteer to be recalled from retirement in order to sit on PFC Manning's court martial.

Of course, my willingness to give him a fair trial before he was sentenced might give some defense lawyers fits...

#6  @lopt: that reminds me of a proposed hell that would await 0bama in the afterlife. he would be fitted with the equivalent of a bark collar for dogs. whenever he speaks, he has a nasty and painful electric shock. whenever he talks, his voice causes him terrible pain. staying silent renders onto him the terrible pain of not hearing his own voice...

#5  Being stuck in a max security prison with no one to listen to his important proclaimations might be worse from his POV, Broadhead.

#2  This actually does not bode well for the PFC. They are going to convict him of just enough to hold him, then I bet they are going to turn him over for national security prosecution in a US federal court.

This is because he is going to ADX Florence, on a one-way ticket. No Leavenworth for him. The Army gets first dibs, out of protocol, but his destiny is truly awful.

#1  From the comment section:
Its been many years since I signed a charge sheet, but this looks like Manning was 'undercharged' - Article 92 and the 'general article,' and not Articles 104 and 106a, which carry the death penalty? So, if convicted, he gets a Dishonorable Discharge and few years in Leavenworth? Not a charge sheet calculated to deter similar misconduct .....
