Regardless of what role anyone thinks Manning played - leaker who was tortured, or whistle blower who was tortured, he was tortured.

It is not tolerable to torture the leaking or whistle blowing of that information.

Shaking the slumber from you, you "Americans", tell me what the difference is between recent leaking by Paula What's Her Name, the dame who claims bedding Gen Petraus, and Bradley Manning, and I think you'll find a Cupie doll prize in there somewhere.
