From what I've read, seriously disturbed sounds much more likely.
If you look at how he's treated in prison there will be no telling how
sane he may have been once they're done with him. He's on POI watch
and in isolated confinement. He walks figure 8s for a while once a day
and the rest of the day (and night if his face is not visible) he is
asked if he is OK every 5 minutes. that is sleep and interaction
deprivation torture. sorry but that makes wikileaks even more
necessary. his lawyer, david r coombs has all the details if you care
I deal with lawyers every day, so it's not as if I'd believe the one of
them at this point. Manning's lawyer not a neutral observer, he's an
advocate, and there's no penalty if he lies, unless he's actually in
court. There's even less penalty if the Government lies. as well.
However I find the story of torture to be unbelievable for a number of
reasons not the least of which is that there's no percentage in it
There''s no new information the military can squeeze out of him, and if
he ever actually goes to trial, any actual torture will come out.
