Bradley Manning, American Hero

Bradley Manning, the now world famous 22 year old miltary analyst allegedly responsible for leaking the cache of classified material to Wikileaks, is still languishing in solitary confinement after four miserable months.
Being denied sunlight, mental stimulation, human contact, the ability to exercise and basic human needs would take it's toll on anyone, but that coupled with the grave concern for his outcome and whatever other tortuous methods [that the U.S. military seem to keen on] are being metted out to him amount to a very grim picture.
Understandably, the U.S. military are embarrassed and are looking for someone to blame and shift the focus onto, but they cannot escape the fact that Bradley Manning merely revealed their own wrongdoing and they are responsible for the way that there has been such an erosion of morality within their ranks.
Bradley Manning has displayed incredible moral backbone and courage for standing up for truth and justice against the Goliath of the U.S. military and administration.
But, what kind of person wouldn't do the same when seeing mass deception of war crimes and atrocities committed in a war that was waged in the name of a lie?
So, as a human, put yourself in his shoes and appreciate the bravery and honour of his actions and consider the huge debt that we all owe him now and support the campaign for his release.
Michael Moore has now joined the campaign to free Manning, along with Daniel Ellsburg and numerous others and puts it aptly in saying, "To suggest that lives were put in danger by the release of the WikiLeaks documents is the most cynical of statements," Moore said.
"Lives were put in danger the night we invaded the sovereign nation of Iraq, an act that had nothing to do with what the Bradley Mannings of this country signed up for: to defend our people from attack. It was a war based on a complete lie and lives were not only put in danger, hundreds of thousands of them were exterminated.
"For those who organised this massacre to point a finger at Bradley Manning is the ultimate example of Orwellian hypocrisy."
