By Nathan Fuller, Bradley Manning Support Network. July 19, 2013. Specialist Jihrleah Showman, drawn by Debra Van Poolen. Bradley Manning’s former supervisor at Ft. Drum and then in Iraq, Specialist Jihrleah Showman, testified this morning that in a counseling session, Manning said that the American flag “meant nothing to him” and that he felt no “allegiance to this country or any people,” but that she never even wrote the statement down. The government elicited that allegation in very brief rebuttal questioning, after which defense lawyer David Coombs spent nearly two hours drawing out her support for that statement, why she failed to document it at the time, and why she didn’t report it when first questioned for this investigation, implying throughout that Showman fabricated the allegation after Manning’s arrest.

But she never wrote the statement down. Showman also said that in June 2009, she’d recommended Manning for ‘soldier of the month.’ Paul David Adkins, drawn by Clark Stoeckley.

What was troubling Julian Assange when he made a dash for friendly extra-territorial space? His detractors argue that it’s the usual story, to do with his propensity to see himself as the centre of the universe, and the target of an improbable plot to lock him up in the US and throw away the key.

That last honour has already been bestowed on Bradley Manning. In the leaker, surely, the Americans have their man: why bother with his celebrity publisher? Outside the Ecuadorian Embassy in Hans Crescent, round the back of Harrods, a thin but emblematic presence is maintained by his supporters. While I was there earlier this month a French woman was squatting on the pavement, hunched over a placard, shading in the letters of a message that she later tied to one of the crowd barriers. On a recent visit to Queensland – Assange’s home state – the US ambassador in Australia said the US could have him extradited as easily from Britain as from Sweden, only they weren’t bothered. Gareth Peirce on the torture of Bradley Manning. Gareth Peirce, the renowned UK lawyer who represents Julian Assange, gives her views via the video above on the torture of Bradley Manning, the US soldier accused of leaking war crimes, as well as the use if torture in the US prison system generally.

The video was made during the time Bradley was tortured, but is relevant given there is currently another pre-trial hearing underway. It is a quietly spoken, powerful speech that is worth listening to in full. Bradley Manning was mentally and physically tortured (as attested by Juan Mendez, the UN Rapporteur on Torture) in the precise way he was by the officers of Quantico for two reasons. The prime reason was so that he would implicate Julian Assange, the editor-in-chief of Wikileaks. The secondary reason was to tip him over the edge, to send him insane, so providing an excuse to terminate proceedings (and cover up secrets) and then lock him away in an asylum for the rest of his life.

Rule Of Law Abandoned For Bradley Manning. ASI / Le NYT a laisser tomber BM. Guardian Man of the Year 2012. Bradley Manning denied chance to make whistleblower defence | World news. Bradley Manning, the US soldier accused of being behind the largest leak of state secrets in America's history, has been denied the chance to make a whistleblower defence in his upcoming court martial in which he faces possible life in military custody with no chance of parole. The judge presiding over Manning's prosecution by the US government for allegedly transmitting confidential material to WikiLeaks ruled in a pre-trial hearing that Manning will largely be barred from presenting evidence about his motives in leaking the documents and videos.

In an earlier hearing, Manning's lead defence lawyer, David Coombs, had argued that his motive was key to proving that he had no intention to harm US interests or to pass information to the enemy. "This is another effort to attack the whistleblower defence," said Nathan Fuller, a spokesman for the Bradley Manning support network, after the hearing. An Outpouring of Love and Support for Bradley Manning to Receive the Nobel Peace Prize.

During the last week of March, more than 30,000 people signed a petition urging the Norwegian Nobel Committee to award the Nobel Peace Prize to Bradley Manning. While the numbers continue to mount on the petition website, so do the comments from individual signers. Thousands have already written personal notes to explain their support for the petition. I hope the Nobel committee reads the comments carefully when the petition arrives in Oslo later this spring. As a U.S. Army private — seeing massive evidence of official deception, human rights abuses and flagrant killing of civilians — Bradley Manning did not just follow orders. Instead, he became a whistleblower, supplying vast troves of documents to WikiLeaks, exposing duplicity that had enormous impacts from Iraq and Afghanistan to Egypt and Tunisia.

Ron Paul: Bradley Manning Deserves Nobel Peace Prize More Than Barack Obama. Army Pfc. Bradley Manning, who is accused of providing an enormous stash of classified government documents to WikiLeaks for publication, deserves a Nobel Peace Prize more than President Barack Obama, according to former Texas Rep. Ron Paul. "While President Obama was starting and expanding unconstitutional wars overseas, Bradley Manning, whose actions have caused exactly zero deaths, was shining light on the truth behind these wars," the former Republican presidential contender told U.S. News. Manning was nominated for the award in 2011, 2012 and again earlier this year. The WikiLeaks documents Manning allegedly leaked "pointed to a long history of corruption [and] war crimes" and "helped motivate the democratic Arab Spring movements," according to the Icelandic, Swedish and Tunisian politicians who nominated Manning.

[FLASHBACK: Manning Supporters Disrupt Obama Campaign] How Bradley Manning Became One of the Most Unusual Revolutionaries in American History. On the night of February 21, 2009, a year before Army private Bradley E. Manning allegedly leaked the largest cache of classified information in American history, he sat at a computer in his barracks at Fort Drum in upstate New York.

It was a Saturday in midwinter, and the barracks were nearly empty. He pulled a chair up to the computer in his cinder-block room, briefly debated between a pizza and a sandwich from Domino’s, went with the sandwich, and passed over into his “digital existence,” as he thought of it. He logged on to AOL’s instant-messenger service under the handle Bradass87, and off he went to transform himself. On the web, he could be whomever he chose.

It was 8:27 p.m. at Fort Drum when he popped up on the computer screen of ZJ Antolak. “hi,” he began. “hi,” ZJ responded. “You don’t know me, i apologize, i got this [address] from your youtube channel.” Manning was an atheist himself—“I’m godless,” he told an acquaintance.
