WikiLeaker Bradley Manning ‘Very Annoyed’ With ‘Torturous’ Solitary Confinement

Is Pfc. Bradley Manning actually being tortured?  WikiLeaker Bradley Manning Very Annoyed With Torturous Solitary Confinement

According to left-leaning Salon.com, yes.  But according to most reasonable people, absolutely not.

As you may know, Army Private Bradley Manning stands accused of leaking tens of thousands of classified national security documents to WikiLeaks to publish on the internet. The 22-year-old has been detained at the U.S. Marine brig in Quantico, Va., for five months after being arrested and held in a military jail in Kuwait. According to Fox News, Manning was exposed after bragging he was the one who leaked classified videos and hundreds of thousands of sensitive diplomatic cables.

Pfc. Manning was charged on July 5 with four specifications under Article 92 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice for violating Army Regulation 25-2 (Information Assurance Policy), and eight specifications under Article 134 for violating federal statutes related to the receipt of classified information (18 U.S.C. 793) and wrongful access of a government computer (18 U.S.C. 1030).

But while he remains in military custody, some of Mannings’ sympathizers are supporting him from outside his jail cell.
On Wednesday, Salon’s Greg Greenwald wrote about the “inhumane conditions” of Manning’s detention, claiming the detainee’s solitary confinement and inability to read newspaper or surf the internet amount to “torture.”
From the beginning of his detention, Manning has been held in intensive solitary confinement.  For 23 out of 24 hours every day — for seven straight months and counting — he sits completely alone in his cell.  Even inside his cell, his activities are heavily restricted; he’s barred even from exercising and is under constant surveillance to enforce those restrictions.  For reasons that appear completely punitive, he’s being denied many of the most basic attributes of civilized imprisonment, including even a pillow or sheets for his bed (he is not and never has been on suicide watch).  For the one hour per day when he is freed from this isolation, he is barred from accessing any news or current events programs.  …
In sum, Manning has been subjected for many months without pause to inhumane, personality-erasing, soul-destroying, insanity-inducing conditions of isolation… Just by itself, the type of prolonged solitary confinement to which Manning has been subjected for many months is widely viewed around the world as highly injurious, inhumane, punitive, and arguably even a form of torture.

An organization founded to provide funding for Manning’s legal defense calls his detention “unjust” and has even set up a campaign to send the imprisoned Private holiday greetings.  Meanwhile, Huffington Post reports that Manning himself is “very annoyed” with his current situation.

“We were aware of those situations and we were hoping that they would improve without applying public pressure through the media,” Jeff Paterson, who runs Manning’s legal defense fund, told The Huffington Post. “His attorney and supporters were hoping that this could be taken care of through the appropriate channels.”

Paterson says that Manning is “very annoyed” at the conditions of his confinement, adding that he is primarily upset at his inability to exercise. “He sits in this small box, for the most part only to take a shower – he just sits and eats and four months have gone by.”

Manning may face additional charges and his trial date will be set after the military conducts a thorough assessment of his mental state and ability to stand trial.

    I remember this Marine brig on Guam. There was a 10‘x6’ cinder block wall in front of the building. Prisoners were ordered to paint it white; after the paint dried they were handed a wire brush and ordered to strip the paint off. After the paint was stripped off they…wait for it…wait for it…got to paint the wall again.

    Guess the left just doesn’t get the fact that actions have consequences…..either good or bad. Pfc. Bradley has only started living with the consequences of his actions. Don’t really think he knows anything yet about torture, but hopefully he will have a long time in a cell to contemplate his dishonor to the military and the country he was supposed to be serving!!

    Poor, poor Brad…don’t we feel sorry for him?

    Never mind the possibility that his actions may cost some of his soldier brothers or sisters to lose their lives.

    Never mind that he betrayed the confidence placed in him by the people he swore to defend.

    Never mind that he broke his oath to defend the nation and the Constitution.

    What Brad’s supporters want us to focus upon is his plight in prison…

    I speculate that he is being held in administrative separation partially for his own protection…because no matter which prison one speaks about, two classes of inmates don’t do well when placed with the general population: child molesters and traitors…If convicted, Brad should pray that he will be placed at the US Disciplinary Barracks on Ft. Leavenworth, KS…and not a Federal prison…at least at the USDB he’ll have an individual cell and will be watched every second of every day; thus minimizing the opportunity for this throat to develop a sudden leak.

He falls under military law U.M.C.J Uniform Code of Military Justice, not civilian law. and military law is allot different, This guy is going away for a long time there is no doubt about that, as far as being put to death, the military as several people on death row none to this date have been executed. and there all in solitary at the USDB United States Disciplinary Barracks.

    Glenn Greenwald at Solon.Com is agitated over Wikileaks and agitates for anything that supports Assange, Wikileaks and by extension Private Manning.

    Today on his Tweeter page, Mr. Greenwald is near hysteric that Time Magazine did not make Julian Assange their Person of the Year. I have a response to his tweets at my twitter page- http://twitter.com/vonryansexpress

    The good aspect of these pro-document dump Citizens that rail, weep and gnash over Assange, Manning and treason, is that they are all ‘outing’ themselves for us all to note and remember.

    This is not anti-war activity, it is anti-Americanism stepping up to treason and aiding and abetting an enemy during war.

    I ask all that read this page to begin to make lists of all citizens, entities and associations that are advancing the Assange, Wikileaks, Manning right to steal national classified documents and publish them. Note and list the names of any that encourage others to make mirror sites or park the information in cyber. When this all shakes out, the conspiracy will be both before and after the fact and many must be prepared to account for their activity.

    If someone exercises their 1st Amendment rights, to say that they do not believe that any classified documents should exist in a free democracy, then that is a view that is not objectionable even if absurd. However, if they encourage the dissemination of documents that were stolen or seek to prevent the judicial process for Manning and Assange from proceeding, then those individuals are subject to explaining their conduct to the rest of society and being judged for it.

    There are stages, gradations to crime and treason and Salon.com and the strange Mr. Greenwald want to plant their flag with Wikileaks and the vile Private Manning. So be it.

    We see you at the post-mortem.

      On an unrelated side note, (1) IQ tests don’t rate “wisdom”. There are plenty of people with high IQ‘s who couldn’t figure out how to balance their own budget, let alone their own life. The fact that someone here *says* they have an above average IQ isn’t impressive. (2) I can say I have an IQ of 173. That means basically the same thing that it meant when IQ was first brought up: Either I think I’m smarter than him and am trying to use my IQ score to intimidate rather than engage in rational debate, or I’m a liar.

      You are delusional. His being gay had nothing to do with anything. I am a gay vet who held a TS clearance while serving. There are things I can still not talk about. This PFC broke his oath and is being held for the consequences of those actions. If convicted he should be shot for treason. Even IF he broke up with his bf, which I have no idea about because I haven’t heard that from any other source than you, that does not explain or excuse what he is accused of doing. Would you take those actions on the breakup with your wife/girlfriend or husband/boyfriend (I have no idea what gender you are, nor do I care)?? Being gay has nothing to do with someone who lacks honor and integrity… as there are plenty of straight people who lack those qualities as well — just look at some of our politicians.

      A snippet: Gay Activist Lt. Dan Choi is Hospitalized
      Lt. Dan Choi, an openly gay Army veteran who has been an outspoken critic of the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy, confirmed Wednesday that he has been hospitalized after suffering a “nervous breakdown.” Choi indicated he was distressed by the failure by Congress to repeal the 17-year-old ban on openly gay troops in the military.

      According to Bradley’s online chats, he was in “an awkward place” both “emotionally and psychologically.” So in a snit, he betrayed his country by orchestrating the greatest leak of classified intelligence in U.S. history.

Guilty of a crime or not, or even if not accused, if your superior orders you to stand in a 3 ft by 3 ft cell, you have to, or you are violating the UCMJ, and therefore committing a military crime.

      I imagine those who die in the line of duty because of leaking military secrets by this guy and his ilk, will not get to exercise, surf the web, or have blanket/pillow parties in their fur pajamas.

      As a Naval vet, I say let his ass rot and don’t let him do anything he enjoys. Bread and water. He will get a military trial, at which time he will fail to prove his innocence, and he can go finish rotting in jail, until he ones day dies, hopefully a long, long time from now, and goes to hell.

      I hear you. I’m not here to be irritating, and I am not a rude person. I know The Blaze has 1.5 million readers, and Glenn’s people are my kind of people. I walk a fine line.

      Its just that I have learned to connect the dots, and every time I see people making excuses for bad behavior (like Charlie Rangel saying “others did worse than me”), it makes me nuts. I know this behavior been a chronic infection of our healthy American way. And I know where the disease came from. And its been going on for nearly 100 years

      I’m not the artist, but I work with him. My responsibility is to get the word out. The email response so far has been fantastic. I hope its caught on like fire. Many people have written that Glenn needs to know about dada, and how their eyes have been opened. They are grateful. that keeps me going.

      We are SO conditioned to exclude the Arts (painters). How come O’Reilly and others have singers, musicians, actors and other “artists” on their shows. Yet you NEVER see a painter. Why? they have bought the Progressive BS and say “That would be bad. self-promotional. we don’t promote artists”. These pundits are part of the problem, and they don’t know it. O’reilly is the “culture warrior” without culture.

      A painter’s job in history is to see everything, and depict and record it. Bad people in power are terrified of their clear vision, and their ability to ridicule them in a painting. . So they “pump and dump” crap art. We just might learn something if we listen. Rubin’s 911 painting alone has been called the “Guernica of the 21st century”. Did you know by request we took that 7ft x 14ft painting to NYC on 9/11/2010 to serve as a standing memorial outside the Ground Zero memorial service. thousands saw and photographed the painting. So many tears, so much healing. The media interviewed Marc for 3 solid hours, yet you saw nothing on TV or in print.

      The whole affair has been quite interesting actually. The release of the docs has been enlightening to say the least. It shows the world leaders to be certainly no better than the rest of us…in fact it seems to show that they are quite likely to be worse than the rest of us. Clinton’s aspirations to be President…DONE. So, I have to say there is some good to come of the release. However, very serious information has been released that was designated SECRET. Manning IS a traitor for disseminating it and should be tried for TREASON. Assange has trafficked SECRET US Documents and not only treated as a SPY but, should have been ASSASSINATED after the first series of docs were released. He is an anarchist, hacker, who wishes the US’s demise and should already be DEAD.
      This whole ordeal merely shows the weakness of the Obama administration.

      The definition of Treason is very specific. It is better to make Treason almost impossible to prove than to make it too easy to prove.

      Article III, Section 3

      Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

      The Congress shall have power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.

Spying on the United States is Treason for anyone in the United States military. If he were in the KGB it would not be treason. Bottom line is he signed a contract.

      This guy is lucky he is from a country like the USA, because if he were from almost any other on the face of this earth he would be learning what real torture is. And it would be followed by beheading or a bullet to the brain, not a trial after an investigation. Also, in most countries, his mother, father and ciblings as well as any wife or children and likely any friends, would be being tortured and killed as well. And probably making him watch. When I consider that, and realize that this country is the one he was trying to sell down the river, to those who would treat him so much more poorly, I really have a hard time having any sympathy for the days of boredom he is experiencing, with his daily bathing and regular meals. Ask one of the guys from the Hanoi Hilton if that is torture.

      For Heavens sake man, I understand the reasoning behind how you feel and it is a legitimate claim, but this nonsense is completely counterproductive.

      I disagree for the simple fact that military law is different than civilian law and many constitutional rights cease at boot camp. As well, from this mans profile, I severely doubt he is anything but an ego freak who got burned being foolish. Worst of all is the gall this man has to call his condition torturous, I voluntarily served for two years without an internet connection and find it beyond pathetic that he, a soldier in the United States would amount that to torture.

      I would throw the book at him, because I believe in the philosophy of deterrence, while what he has done might be relatively harmless, and in an abstract way beneficial, people need to understand that this is unacceptable before something important gets out and a lot of people end up dead.

      So please, let us move on to better things. This bickering is pointless.

      Hey, I bet he’s not bragging now. He’s a traitor and should be severely punished for his crimes that could have put many in harms way in Afghanistan and Iraq. Instead of keeping him in solitary confinement why not give him an M16 and put him in a hot area to personally engage the enemy. He may learn what being a soldier is all about.

      I agree that he is a traitor, but should he be treated more harshly than our enemies is gitmo. It seems that if a person is islam they get extra benefits in prison? Oh I forgot we have one in white house.

      We don’t even treat murderers this way, yet you’re going to treat this guy like this?

      Manning, you’re biggest mistake was to brag about this. It defeats the purpose of giving it to Wikileaks, who would have never revealed their source. Did you really think nothing would happen to you?

      Although that does not excuse them from treating him like an Animal. This is still America right? Has he had due process of the law yet? Has he been convicted? Even THEN he still shouldn’t be treated like an Animal.

      Execution?

      I know this country is going to hell in a hand basket and fast. I know that one day, when things become violent, and they will, I know all of you here would turn coat and hide behind big Government and call for people like me, who will fight for freedom, to be black bagged and executed behind the shed. You all proclaim to be for freedom and liberty but are the first to back up big government and their big muscles to slam those that oppose you.

      Don’t worry. Eventually big government will turn their sights on you. By then, there won’t be anyone left to speak out on your behalf. Why? Because you allowed big government to execute them behind the shed. Good luck America.

      The little brat should have thought about that before he was so extremely selfish, narcissistic, & sociopathic by not empathizing with the thousands of souls he put in extreme danger over his own little disgruntlement! Some people just pull the most ignorant behaviour before considering the damages they will cause others. He seems to still think his life and comfort is more important than so many who will suffer death,loss of family, and the security of millions of souls in countries around the world! Bless his little heart! BOOHOO!!!

      There are those that have volumes of information but no knowledge; those that have knowledge and no wisdom but there is never a person who has wisdom without having a firm foundation of information and knowledge.

      One may say they have information, one may say they are knowledgeable, but wisdom can only be assigned, never claimed; earned, never granted; displayed, never declared. If there are those that do not respect your knowledge, perhaps it is by their wisdom instead of ignorance that commands their perspective.

      Well said. Why does it seem that most progressives don’t really think about the consequences and unintended consequences of their actions or what they ideologically propose politically? That‘s why I don’t think any of them can add, because when they talk 2 + 2 always equals anything but 4. I’m speculating, but I doubt if this private Manning ever thought of the consequences, thought he would ever get caught, or at the very least thought that 2+2 would equal 16 and that they wouldn’t throw the book at him rather just slap him on the wrist. Of course, if he is a true progressive, he probably thought people would give him a medal of honor. Our legal system is supposed to deter people from committing crime. It’s as if he was completely unprepared for what is now happening to him, which makes me think that my theory could be correct and that Private Manning honestly thought at worst nothing would happen to him.

      This is a general reply, not specifically to Marhee9 (I’ve just joined this website and am not familiar with the protocols).
      Clearly, Manning is guilty of treason in “giving aid and comfort to the enemy.” In a time of war, this is punishable by death, but of course, prosecution and this sanction fell by the wayside back during Vietnam with the treasonous activities of Hanoi Jane Fonda and Ramsey Clark, erstwhile Secretary of Justice. We’ve become a nation of wimps in enforcing various laws, most recently illegal immigration and now this. This kind of laziness and neglect will lead to our downfall. We’ve grown soft, and it’s time to make examples of egregious behaviors wherever they are found. We have earned the disrespect of even Europeans, and that’s saying a lot. Time to get tough, take a stand, draw a line in the stand, and put Obama-esque dithering and waffling behind us before it’s too late. Schrocknik, Col, USAF (retired)
