Young Turks: It's time to free Bradley Manning

Nebraskans owe a special debt to Manning, if he was responsible for the disclosure of those diplomatic cables which disclosed outrageous collusion by the U.S. State Department with TransCanada in the proposed Keystone XL pipeline construction through the pristine Ogallala Aquifer.

Lt. Dan Choi has Manning's back, too:

“Today, we deal with a society that has repealed ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ in the military. And I don’t want to live in a society that replaces that ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ with a new ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ in society and national security. It is time that we unclassify the truth that we deserve to know. For that is what we swear to uphold, those Army values.”

“We see the situation where our comrade is in shackles and chains, he is on trial. But I remind all of us gathered here today because Bradley Manning stood up for the truth, he is the most free among all of us. He is not the one on trial, the United States of America is on trial today. Our reputation, and what our country stands for.”
