Pardon Bradley Manning! He is Sentenced to 35 Years in Prison, While War Criminals Go Free.
This man is not a spy. He is not a criminal. He is a brave whistleblower who has exposed war crimes, government misdeeds, and corruption. He embarrassed the government, but his disclosures did not cause a single documented death. He released the following documents to WikiLeaks, now faces years in prison, and must be pardoned by President Obama. . The Collateral Murder Video, which showed U.S. troops firing and killing unarmed civilians, including a Reuters photographer and firing on children in a van. www.collateralmurder.com . U.S. attempts to block investigations into CIA rendition of prisoners: http://is.gd/poVGfc . U.S. ignoring torture of Iraqi prisoners: http://is.gd/2ftWlt . Documentation of many more civilian deaths than had been reported previously. . Documents exposing the corruption of the Tunisian government, which led to rebellion in Tunisia, and the Arab Spring: http://is.gd/YBlxpS . A cable that proved that U.S. troops executed at least 10 civilians, including a woman in her 70s and a 5 month old baby, in Ishaqi in 2006, and then called in an air strike to cover it up. Soldiers involved did not serve a day in jail! This led to the Iraqi government refusing to allow U.S. troops to remain after 2011. http://is.gd/cmzrtc . Many more war crimes and revelations, including spying on diplomats at the U.N. Contact the White House at: 202-456-1414 and demand that President Obama pardon Manning. Or go to: www.whitehouse.gov and leave your comments. Here is what the ACLU said: "When a soldier who shared information with the press & public is punished far more harshly than others who tortured prisoners and killed civilians, something is seriously wrong with our justice system. A legal system that doesn't distinguish between leaks to the press in the public interest and treason against the nation will not only produce unjust results, but will deprive the public of critical information that is necessary for democratic accountability. This is a sad day for Bradley Manning, but it's also a sad day for all Americans who depend on brave whistleblowers & a free press for a fully informed public debate." www.bradleymanning.org [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- LAAMN: Los Angeles Alternative Media Network --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe: <mailto:laamn-unsubscr...@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe: <mailto:laamn-subscr...@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Digest: <mailto:laamn-dig...@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Help: <mailto:laamn-ow...@egroups.com?subject=laamn> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post: <mailto:la...@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive1: <http://www.egroups.com/messages/laamn> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive2: <http://www.mail-archive.com/laamn@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yahoo!
