19. Is waterboarding also prisoner protection?
This rationale for abuse is like claiming that waterboarding is a humane technique because it keeps prisoners from killing themselves by not drinking enough water.

I don't believe it for a minute. There is no mystery here. The military is trying to break Manning so he will implicate Assange. What is pathetic about this is that any evidence from Manning will be derived from subjecting him to abuse and torture.

Are Americans prepared to see a whistleblower convicted based on obvious abuse and torture?

The military and the administration apparently thinks so. I hope they are wrong.
