1) Bradley Manning was moved to Leavenworth 6 months ago. He is not in solitary confinement.

2) Juan Mendez is allowed to visit Bradley Manning, but must abide by the rules that everyone else does.


"The Pentagon said Monday that the U.N. official, Juan Mendez, is welcome to meet with Manning but that brig rules require that such a meeting be monitored and permit any statements Manning makes to be used against him in court."

3) He went 17 months without his Article 32 because of defense motions, primarily. If his lawyer thought he was being denied a speedy trial, he would file a 707. He hasn't.

"** PFC Manning’s case is currently awaiting an Article 32 hearing. Based upon several defense motions in this case, the government has place the Article 32 hearing on hold until it can determine the classification level of the case. A preliminary classification review is currently being conducted in this case to determine the highest classification level of any relevant information."
