The prosecution has rested its case. The defense will begin next Monday,
July 8th. Join us for this historic occasion, if you can. We will begin
with a 7:00 AM vigil at the front gate of Fort Meade. Then at 9:30 AM, we
will fill the courtroom (and the overflow trailer) to demonstrate our
support for Bradley and his outstanding defense team.
In the meantime, YOU can weigh in to General Buchanan, the new Convening
Authority in charge of Bradley's court martial. See below.

Dear Friend,
Last week Major General Jeffery S. Buchanan succeeded Major General
Linnington as the new Convening Authority in Bradley Manning's trial. In the
military court martial system the Convening Authority has absolute power to
reduce any sentence or ruling against a service member. Let's remind General
Buchanan that this system should be about justice and due process, and that
these things have been absent from US v. Manning so far.
Bradley has been imprisoned for over three years now. If the military
requires punishment for an act of civil disobedience, they already got that.
Given that Bradley spent nearly a year in solitary confinement that the UN
described as "cruel, inhuman and degrading", it is reasonable for General
Buchanan to join us in declaring enough is enough! It's time to free Bradley
Manning.
The convening authority can reduce the sentence after the Judge makes her
ruling. Let's Remind Maj. General Buchanan:
* That President Obama has unlawfully influenced the trial with his
declaration of Bradley Manning's guilt.
* That the media has been continually blocked from transcripts and
documents related to the trial and that it has only been through the efforts
of Bradley Manning's supporters that any transcripts exist.
* That under the UCMJ a soldier has the right to a speedy trial and
that it was unconsciable to wait 3 years before starting the court martial.
* That absolutely no one was harmed by the release of documents that
exposed war crimes, unnecessary secrecy and disturbing foreign policy.
* That Bradley Manning is a hero who did the right thing when he
revealed truth about wars that had been based on lies.
Remind General Buchanan that Bradley Manning's rights have been trampled -
Enough is enough!

Here's the Video titled "COLLATERAL MURDER" -
www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rXPrfnU3G0 - that Bradley Manning discovered & sent
to Wikileaks. Wikileaks decrypted this previously unreleased video footage
from a US Apache helicopter in 2007. It shows Reuters journalist Namir
Noor-Eldeen, driver Saeed Chmagh and six others as the Apache shoots and
kills them in a public square in Eastern Baghdad. They are apparently
assumed to be insurgents. They do not have any weapons. After the initial
shooting, an unarmed group of adults and children in a minivan arrives on
the scene and attempts to transport the wounded. They are fired upon as
well. The official statement on this incident initially listed all adults as
insurgents and claimed the US military did not know how the deaths occurred.
Wikileaks released this video with transcripts and a package of supporting
documents on April 5th 2010 on: www.collateralmurder.com Listening to what
the soldiers in the helicopter are saying to each other is absolutely
sickening as they think it's funny killing these eight innocent Iraqi people
who are simply walking on the ground in their own country. Bradley Manning
is a hero for releasing this video that shows the murder of these 8 people.
This is what the United States did in Iraq and it's what the United States
has done in Korea, Vietnam, Panama, Afghanistan and many other countries
over the years. Bradley Manning should be free. The soldiers who shot &
killed these innocent Iraqi people should be put on trial.
