to some kind of sanity, this kind of trial will be judged Unconstitutional and no other decent human being, a person who reported Torture and was basically told to shut his mouth, will be tortured and abused the way Manning has been.

And the real criminals will not be walking around free, invited to the WH to be 'honored for their service to the country', a criminal who went AWOL when he had a chance to serve his country, not at war, in a nice safe place away from the battlefield, he couldn't even do that.

We are no longer in any position to lecture any other country on human rights, and in case anyone hasn't noticed, we are being told this now by other countries on a daily basis.

What a sad day, just another one, for this country.
