Peace Prize for Bradley Manning

[Cascade]

Roots Action has a petition to the Norwegian Nobel Committee to give Bradley Manning a Nobel Peace Prize. From their email:

"No individual has done more to push back against what Martin Luther King Jr. called 'the madness of militarism' than Bradley Manning. And right now, remaining in prison and facing relentless prosecution by the U.S. government, no one is more in need of the Nobel Peace Prize.

"Alfred Nobel's will left funding for a prize to be awarded to 'the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses.'

"The intent of the prize was to fund this work. As a result of enormous legal expenses, Bradley Manning is in need of that funding."

We need daylight - not torture that's hidden, wars for the sake of private corporate profit or other abominations. I'm grateful for Bradley Manning and others who have the courage to give us information so we can have real discussions of what is happening. He was willing to take a risk because he knew that what he was seeing was wrong.
