Raw Video: About 30 Arrested at Virginia Rally for Wikileaks Suspect

TRIANGLE, Va. — Hundreds rallied outside a Virginia Marine Corps base to protest the treatment of an imprisoned Army private suspected of providing classified data to Wikileaks.

About 30 people were arrested Sunday at the rally protesting the pretrial detention of Pfc. Bradley Manning. About two-dozen rallies were held around the world.

Manning is being held in solitary confinement at the Quantico base’s brig. He’s confined to his cell 23 hours a day and forced to strip naked before bed. The military says the conditions of his detention are justified.

Protesters chanted “Free Bradley Manning” and confronted dozens of police officers in riot gear outside the entrance to the base. A short scuffle ensued. The arrests were made after protesters refused to vacate the intersection at the base entrance.

From the YouTube post: Hundreds rallied outside the military base where Daniel Manning is being detained on charges of providing classified data to Wikileaks. Dozens were arrested, including Daniel Ellsberg, who leaked the so-called Pentagon Papers in 1971. (March 20)

    I’m not siding with anyone. I will however ask a few questions.
    1. What happened to innocent until proven guilty? Last I checked one must be put on trial by a jury of ones peers. I haven’t seen that happen in this case. He’s only been found guilty in the court of PUBLIC OPINION which is EXACTLY what “they” wanted in the first place he is a scapegoat.
    2. How can Assange be classified as a traitor when he isn’t even a citizen of the USA?

      1. He is not being punished, he is confined until his court martial. He still has his rank and gets his paycheck. However, being in the brig is different than being in jail. An inmate must have permission for everything, including using the bathroom. If Pvt. Manning does not ask properly while standing at attention, he can be denied use of the latrine. Just imagine boot camp, but a lot stricter.

      He’s far from being a scapegoat. All the evidence, including his own admissions, show he willing provided top-secret information to a foreign national. There is no evidence anyone else was involved. Assange apparently didn’t know about Pvt. Manning’s theft of govt. documents until there were provided to him. Assange won’t be charged with a crime any more than the NY Times will be. They both published the same stolen information.

      2. You’re right about Assange. Since he is not an American, he cannot be a traitor. I can’t believe so many people get that wrong.

      What you are forgetting is Pfc. Manning doesn’t fall under the regular court system, he falls under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). It does not guarantee a speedy trial nor does he have the rights of a normal citizen right now because he is still on active duty. Here is a couple articles he could be charged with among other sections.

      906a. ART. 106a. ESPIONAGE
      (A) (1) Any person subject to this chapter who, with intent or reason to believe that it is to be used to the injury of the United States or to the advantage of a foreign nation, communicates, delivers, or transmits, or attempts to communicate, deliver, or transmit, to any entity described in paragraph (2), either directly or indirectly, any thing described in paragraph (3) shall be punished as a court-martial may direct, except that if the accused is found guilty of an offense that directly concerns (A) nuclear weaponry, military spacecraft or satellites, early warning systems, or other means of defense or retaliation against large scale attack, (B) war plans, (C) communications intelligence or cryptographic information, or (D) any other major weapons system or major element of defense strategy, the accused shall be punished by death or such other punishment as a court- martial may direct.
      (2) An entity referred to in paragraph (1) is–
      (A) a foreign government;
      (B) a faction or party or military force within a foreign country, whether recognized or unrecognized by the United States
      (C) a representative, officer, agent, employee, subject, or citizen of such government, faction, party, or force.
      (3) A thing refereed to in paragraph (1) is a document, writing, code book, signal book, sketch, photograph, photographic negative, blueprint, plan, map, model, note, instrument, appliance or information relating to the national defense.
      (b) (1) No person may be sentenced by court-martial to suffer death for an offense under this section (article) unless–
      (A) the members of the court-martial unanimously find at least one of the aggravating factors set out in subsection (c); and
      (B) the members unanimously determine that any extenuating or mitigating circumstances are substantially outweighed by any aggravating circumstances, including the aggravating factors set out under subsection (c).
      (2) Findings under this subsection may be based on–
      (A) evidence introduced on the issue of guilt or innocence;
      (B) evidence introduced during the sentencing proceeding; or
      (C) all such evidence.
      (3) The accused shall be given broad latitude to present matters in extenuation and mitigation.
      (c) A sentence of death may be adjudged by a court-martial for an offense under this section (article) only if the members unanimously find, beyond a reasonable doubt, one or more of the following aggravating factors:
      (1) The accused has been convicted of another offense involving espionage or treason for which either a sentence of death or imprisonment for life was authorized by statute.
      (2) In the commission of the offense, the accused knowingly created a grave risk of substantial damage to the national security.
      (3) In the commission of the offense, the accused knowingly created a grave risk of death to another person.
      (4) Any other factor that may be prescribed by the President by regulations under section 836 of this title (Article 36).

      904. ART. 104. AIDING THE ENEMY
      Any person who–
      (1) aids, or attempts to aid, the enemy with arms, ammunition, supplies, money, or other things; or
      (2) without proper authority, knowingly harbors or [protects or gives intelligence to or communicates or corresponds with or holds any intercourse with the enemy, either directly or indirectly;
      shall suffer death or such other punishment as a court-martial or military commission may direct.

      I have mixed feelings about this. Somebody just resigned because he disapproved of the treatment of Daniel Manning. There were MANY who could have read the cables. The people who sent them just got caught with their pants down and should have known better, should have had better upbringing, should have shown some respect for others in national government.

      Obama, for example, should not have sold out the United States in the START Treaty when he bribed Russia to sign by giving them information on the UK’s military weapons strength, complete with serial numbers!

      Obama Blocks American Drilling—Steals 2 Billion In Taxpayer Money To Help China, Soros
      by Dr. Alan Bates, MD.

      Last year ‘Obama’ took 2,000,000,000. US Dollars from the ‘broke’ Federal Treasury and invested it into Petrobras, a large Brazilian oil drilling company which did not need any additional financial resources to accomplish its drilling operation off Brazilian shores which had one objective: to supply the Chinese with oil. The price of the company’s common stock surged and George Soros—the wealthy amoral socialist whose objective is a one-world government (read destruction of American capitalism) — sold some of his 22 million shares of Petrobras common stock and reinvested the proceeds in preferred shares of the company which then were selling at a discount to common while offering an additional 10 percent dividend. Now we find ‘Obama’ traveling to Brazil to strengthen ‘economic ties’ (Soros?) while the Mid East is in turmoil and Japan, the world’s third largest economy, is dealing with the largest human and structural disaster since WWII!

      There are several problems with the picture outlined above. First and foremost, this Administration actively blocks PRIVATE SECTOR investment in development of American fossil fuel resources including drilling offshore, in ANWR and in the Rockies while diverting FEDERAL TAXPAYER money (read more borrowed money from China) into Petrobras to the benefit of China and not America’s energy security. Secondly, the ‘Obama’ investment was a gift to George Soros, the anti-American socialist who cowardly and without remorse betrayed his own Jewish people to side with the Nazis during WWII, to handsomely profit off the American taxpayer with ‘Obama’ serving as the conduit. Thirdly, the sole objective of the Petrobras drilling platform off the coast of Brazil is to supply China with oil—not America. Isn’t that an odd investment? Was that partial payback to Soros who was a leading financier of the ‘Obama’ presidential campaign which catapulted an inexperienced and unknown socialist puppet into the highest office in the Land? Is this story difficult to understand? Why is Mr. Soetoro still serving as President?

      The irony is that America could easily become energy secure without imports if our socialist Administration would allow the private sector to develop our massive reserves at no cost to taxpayers. Instead, we have reached the point where the Middle East, upon which we are dependent for most of our oil imports, is in deep political turmoil with no clear outcome as to who will ultimately control our oil supply. We must bank on the hope that Saudi Arabia will maintain a stable monarchy which enriches itself from the sale of its oil America. Mr. Soetoro conducts American energy policy in a dream world of green energy initiatives which will never be able to power trains, planes, boats or trucks. We the People must replace him and his delusional socialist czars with someone who is a realist and will quickly open our frontiers to harvesting our energy resources, hopefully before our energy dependency on others halfway around the world leads to further destruction of our economy and the welfare of our people which appears to be the goal of this Administration and its financiers in virtually every policy initiative which I have reviewed in past commentaries.

      I believe Manning is guilty. I do not believe his treatment is unfair. He has threatened suicide and this is what they do when there is that threat. If the left doesn’t want that I am OK with them putting him in general population. He will be killed there in my opinion but if that is what they want I say let them have it there way.I do believe the Government was lax in the way the“confidential” documents were handled. But he should not have had access and having access he certainly should not have stolen them and made them public to put peoples lives in danger. I do believe in innocent until proven guilty but until he is taken to court for this to be proven or disproven we only have the court of Public opinion. I think as I said they are trying to keep him alive so they can prove it. I am not on the side of the protesters but I don’t mind that they protest.

      I know that this is going to just make people question my military status, but until he is charged with something, he shouldn’t have to be treated like this. I don‘t think he shouldn’t be in jail, he absolutely should be, but to hold him without moving forward with his case is wrong.

      Noticing your screen name, I don’t get your mind set on this little traitor situation. I was one who yelled and screamed about the murders by Janet Reno at Ruby Ridge and Waco. Where is your head when it comes to this traitor?

      Manning is a traitor. He did not do this to provide “transparency” in government, he did this to damage the U.S. Unfortunately there are some things done in diplomatic circles that need to be done in secret.

      What I don’t understand is the why they needed this many police officers in riot gear for THIS crowd.

      One guy with microwave oven could have handled this by disrupting their pacemakers……..

      @ LIB USMC ?

      “He should be treated like any other inmate until convicted.”

      He is not “any other inmate.” Remember he volunteered for his service in the US Army. He then took an oath to uphold the constitution and protect this nation. He broke the security code of honor. Currently, PFC Manning is under the jurisdiction of the US MILITARY Court System. He cannot get out on bail.

      He is a PRISONER… Not an INMATE.

      I disagree with the protesters. This young man took an oath when he joined the army, and more specifically for the position that he obtained. He may have felt that releasing the information was the right thing to do (and maybe it was), but he still must pay the price for violating the oath that he took.

      that is right, he is not another prisoner. If he was harmed by other prisoners or harmed by his own hand can you imagine the conspiracy theories? thre is no other way but to use every correctional or brig individual management tool to insure he makes it to trial. if anything ever happened to him the careers of the chain of command would end. If I was in charge my policy would be similar. Because of the size of his espionage and possibility that he has other bits of info still hidden, he can not have contact with others.My bet is that no one in the chain of command is willing to risk anything happening. If the President issues an order to clear the chain of command in the event of Bradley being harmed then maybe his security will be lessened.

      The reading comprehension of some of you folks is atrocious. The guy’s name is BRADLEY MANNING not DANIEL MANNING. If you can’t get that fact straight, then how can you think that anything you have to say is informed?

      I do not agree with the protesters. I do have many questions. Having been in the military and access to classified info. How the heck does a low Private get access to so much info especially as in most cases access must be authorized on a case by case basis and on a daily basis. Next is the question of how he removed the info without some one knowing. Computers with this high level access should not have any external ports to down load info. Next is how did he get access while in a theater of operations where security should be at its very highest?I keep feeling he was a patsy of some one higher up with a grudge.I may be wrong but that is just the way I see it.

      If you look at who the protesters are, you‘ll see they’re left over traitors from the ‘60’s. If you look into their “cause” you’ll see that they are just continuing their anti-American Socialist Culture of Death ranting, pretending to support this traitorous Army private so that they can get some publicity for their tantrums. I unfortunate that these old traitors aren’t being sent off to live in North Korea or Cuba or Vietnam, since those are the “workers paradises” they love so much. Semper Fi.

      He is a traitor to the oath he took to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign AND domestic”. This applies to Manning, too.

      I hear the word “traitor” tossed around a lot, quite flippantly I might add.

      I hear calls for this man’s execution, equally flippant.

      I wonder what happens when Obama and Big Thick Sister Napolitano starts calling Tea Partiers traitors and terrorists (they already are), and what happens when these TSA thugs or military and steroid-infused police come to toss you into a FEMA Camp for being a “traitor” and starts executing people for it…
