(735 posts)You say ''Before I post I usually do a search to determine the atmosphere on a particular topic. Since I am just starting to post here again after a year, I try not to post stuff to cause anger."

I certainly have been called a traitor and a lot of other names for my defense of Manning and Assange.
While Manning knew what he was getting into,it does not justify our governments mistreatment of an individual!!
EVER!!!
And the fact that more individuals say "well as long as it's not me being mistreated" then it's OK!!scares the HELL out of me!!!
How many Germans said that and then looked the other way???
