    Free Bradley Manning.

    Thought the US government could never disgrace itself any worse, once it had been headed by Ronald Reagan? Well, it turns out it's too soon to take those big-red maple leaves off your luggage; the organization has tortured someone for revealing that it commits torture.

    Military Judge Denise Lind, who will rule on Bradley's sentence in a few weeks, unfairly favored prosecutors last week by allowing them to present new evidence after they had officially closed their case. Furthermore, this evidence was in the form of unsupported testimony by Bradley's former direct supervisor, who'd been disciplined for making homophobic remarks to him.

    The military is pulling out all the stops to chill efforts to increase transparency in our government. Now, ensure we're doing all we can to secure Bradley's freedom as well as protection for future whistle-blowers.

    Major General Jeffery S. Buchanan is the Convening Authority for Bradley's court martial, which means that he has the authority to decrease Bradley's sentence, no matter what the judge decides. Demand he do the right thing by calling, faxing, and e-mailing his Public Affairs Office, asking him to reduce the sentence to time served.
    The convening authority can reduce the sentence after the Judge makes her ruling. Let's Remind Maj. General Buchanan:

    • that Bradley was held for nearly a year in abusive solitary confinement, which the UN torture chief called “cruel, inhuman, and degrading”
    • that President Obama has unlawfully influenced the trial with his declaration of Bradley Manning's guilt.
    • that the media has been continually blocked from transcripts and documents related to the trial and that it has only been through the efforts of Bradley Manning's supporters that any transcripts exist.
    • that under the UCMJ a soldier has the right to a speedy trial and that it was unconscionable to wait 3 years before starting the court martial.
    • that absolutely no one was harmed by the release of documents that exposed war crimes, unnecessary secrecy and disturbing foreign policy.
    • that Bradley Manning is a hero who did the right thing when he revealed truth about wars that had been based on lies. Remind General Buchanan that Bradley Manning's rights have been trampled - Enough is enough!
