And who made the decision? No there was never an answer. Every time we asked to leave, they wanted something else. Can we leave? We need your registration again, Maam. Again? Yes, Maam. Please step over here while we look at it. (20 min) Mr. House, we need your Social Security number again. Why are we being detained here? We need your Social Security number again, sir. That went on and on. - Share this: - - Digg<http://phoenixwoman.wordpress.com/2011/01/24/security-theater-quantico-version/?share=digg&nb=1> - Facebook<http://phoenixwoman.wordpress.com/2011/01/24/security-theater-quantico-version/?share=facebook&nb=1> Posted in *Uncategorized*<http://phoenixwoman.wordpress.com/category/uncategorized/>| Tagged: *bradley manning* <http://en.wordpress.com/tag/bradley-manning/>, *david house* <http://en.wordpress.com/tag/david-house/>, *fdl*<http://en.wordpress.com/tag/fdl/>, *jane hamsher* <http://en.wordpress.com/tag/jane-hamsher/>, *quantico*<http://en.wordpress.com/tag/quantico/>, *Wikileaks* <http://en.wordpress.com/tag/wikileaks/> | *Leave a Comment »*<http://phoenixwoman.wordpress.com/2011/01/24/security-theater-quantico-version/#respond> MPs: We Were Told To Do This (Or: Expired Tabs My Ass)<http://phoenixwoman.wordpress.com/2011/01/23/mps-we-were-told-to-do-this-or-expired-tabs-my-ass/> Posted by *Phoenix Woman* <http://phoenixwoman.wordpress.com/> on January 23, 2011 As *John Chandley noted in a Tweet*<http://twitter.com/#!/JohnChandley/status/29357091437154304>earlier this evening, *the AP story on the detention of David House and Jane Hamsher at Quantico*<http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2011/01/23/us/AP-US-WikiLeaks-Army-Private.html?hp>, which prevented David House from seeing Bradley Manning for yet another week, leaves out a key fact namely, that the MPs told House and Hamsher that they had been ordered to detain them. *As Jane Hamsher tells it*<http://fdlaction.firedoglake.com/2011/01/23/goal-of-quantico-incident-was-to-abuse-bradley-manning-and-intimidating-david-house/> : I am very happy that I went, and could be there to support David, because one of the first things the MPs said to us when we arrived long before they asked for drivers license, social security numbers, registration, phone numbers, quizzed us about the addresses on our licenses, etc, etc, was that *they had orders to do all of this.* Which means *they were planning to detain us long before we got there*. They were going to use any excuse to keep David from visiting Manning, and try to intimidate him from coming back. In other words, the expired tabs excuse that the Quantico spokesman fed to the AP is beside the point. The MPs had orders to detain House and Hamsher, a detention that magically ended almost exactly when visiting hours did, keeping House from checking up on Manning and his deteriorating mental condition. Oh, and by the way: Im not going to post it online because its private information, but while Janes tabs were indeed a month out of date, she was able to provide proof of insurance, which I have seen. - Share this: - Posted in *abuse of power*<http://en.wordpress.com/tag/abuse-of-power/>| Tagged: *bradley manning* <http://en.wordpress.com/tag/bradley-manning/>, *david house* <http://en.wordpress.com/tag/david-house/>, *detention*<http://en.wordpress.com/tag/detention/>, *fdl* <http://en.wordpress.com/tag/fdl/>, *jane hamsher*<http://en.wordpress.com/tag/jane-hamsher/>, *quantico* <http://en.wordpress.com/tag/quantico/>, *solitary confinement * <http://en.wordpress.com/tag/solitary-confinement/>, *Wikileaks*<http://en.wordpress.com/tag/wikileaks/>| *1 Comment »*<http://phoenixwoman.wordpress.com/2011/01/23/mps-we-were-told-to-do-this-or-expired-tabs-my-ass/#comments> The Slow Mental Torture of Bradley Manning<http://phoenixwoman.wordpress.com/2011/01/23/the-slow-mental-torture-of-bradley-manning/> Posted by *Phoenix Woman* <http://phoenixwoman.wordpress.com/> on January 23, 2011 Quantico brass have apparently decided *theyre going to harrass and deny visitation rights*<http://fdlaction.firedoglake.com/2011/01/23/statement-of-events-bradley-mannings-primary-visitor-detained-at-quantico/>to the only person who they havent scared away from visiting Bradley Manning in solitary confinement: [image: Bradley Manning]At roughly 1:00 pm, upon driving onto the base at Quantico, David House and blogger Jane Hamsher were detained by military guards. House, who is on the Quantico Brigs visitation list, has been visiting Bradley Manning in confinement since last September. In December 2010, House came forward with testimony that he witnessed a deterioration in Mannings physical and mental state due to the conditions of solitary confinement. House traveled to the Quantico brig to check up on Bradleys well-being after a week in which Mannings lawyer filed an Article 138 complaint over Mannings mistreatment at Quantico. House and Hamsher also planned to *deliver a 42,000 signature strong petition*<http://action.firedoglake.com/page/s/bradleymanning?source=fdl>calling for an end to the inhumane conditions that Manning is being held. Upon arriving at the main entrance at Quantico, House and Hamsher were stopped and detained by military police who provided no explanation of detainment aside from a statement from one MP that his orders to detain had come from the top. Manning is incarcerated because of the word of Adrian Lamo. Its obvious to everyone whos looked closely at *Lamos evidence and action*<http://emptywheel.firedoglake.com/2010/12/31/lamos-two-laptops/>s that he is a grossly unreliable witness who cannot be put on the witness stand; therefore, the DODs game plan seems to be to break Bradley Manning in the hope that hell tell them what they want to hear. However, breaking people in this fashion doesnt provide truthful testimony, or even coherent lies. Instead, it just wrecks them in such a way that they cant be put back together again. - Share this: - Posted in *abuse of power* <http://en.wordpress.com/tag/abuse-of-power/>, * ACLU* <http://en.wordpress.com/tag/aclu/> | Tagged: *Adrian Lamo*<http://en.wordpress.com/tag/adrian-lamo/>, *bradley manning* <http://en.wordpress.com/tag/bradley-manning/>, *david house* <http://en.wordpress.com/tag/david-house/>, *fdl*<http://en.wordpress.com/tag/fdl/>, *jane hamsher* <http://en.wordpress.com/tag/jane-hamsher/>, *quantico*<http://en.wordpress.com/tag/quantico/>, *Wikileaks* <http://en.wordpress.com/tag/wikileaks/> | *6 Comments »*<http://phoenixwoman.wordpress.com/2011/01/23/the-slow-mental-torture-of-bradley-manning/#comments> [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!
