I am not back, but I couldn't resist posting this piece of GOOD news, since this was the subject of a long debate.

PFC Manning was transferred to the Joint Regional Corrections Facility (JRCF) at Fort Leavenworth on April 20, 2011. I was able to tour the facility and meet with PFC Manning last week. PFC Manning is now being held in Medium Custody. He is no longer under Prevention of Injury watch and is no longer subjected to harsh pretrial confinement conditions.

Unlike at Quantico, PFC Manning cell has a large window that provides adequate natural light. His cell also has a desk, a bed, and a toilet. The cell is approximately 80 square feet. He is provided with a normal mattress, sheets and a pillow. None of his clothing is taken away from him at night. PFC Manning is able to have all of his personal items in his cell, which include his clothing, his legal materials, books and letters from family and friends. He is also able to have a pen and paper at all times in his cell, and is able to write whenever he chooses.

PFC Manning is housed in a special area of the confinement facility, along with other pre-trial detainees. Each pre-trial area (including PFC Manning’s) has four cells, and each pre-trial detainee is assigned to his own cell. The cells are connected to a shared common area, with a table, a treadmill, a television and a shower area. Click here in order to see photos of the JRCF area.

Not a one of us, is as strong as all of us.
It's what we choose to care *about*, which moves this world when that lever is applied.

By that measure this issue of the death of the already dead Bin Laden would rank quite low on common sense priorities. Though the concept does make me think...
"already dead guys with bombs"

So let me get this straight: Bradley Manning was moved AFTER all the bitching and moaning by people who were told that bitching and moaning about his treatment was nothing more than just bitching and moaning?

Looks like bitching and moaning did some good, after all!

Thank you, CTS, for the better news.

Frem said it better than I could.

Hello,

I think the argument for freeing him would be better if he could claim to be a whistleblower. Such a claim would be more valid if he was leaking particular information related to particular malfeasance. To my understanding, he simply packed a disc with everything he could get his hands on, and handed it off.

The nature of government meant that lots of the information contained naughty bits. But lots of it didn't, and I'm not sure he knew everything he was grabbing when he did it.

If he has a public trial, perhaps more information will come out about the specifics.

Anthony, I agree. It's just my personal opinion that anyone who brings things to light IS a whistleblower and shouldn't be prosecuted. Obviously it gets grey when it comes to secrets important for our country to keep, but what's important to be kept secret and what the public should know about is something everyone will never agree on.
