Pouting Baby doesn't understand why they are taking Bradley's clothes away from him. (photo courtesy of Jim White)
Pouting Baby is talking to us again. – JW
I don’t understand why the government is doing so many mean things to Bradley. They already have him in a jail, but they keep doing things to punish him before a judge or jury has said that he did the bad things they are saying he did. They didn’t even have a full list of the bad things they say he did until yesterday.
They only let him out of the room where they keep him for one hour a day. For a couple of days, they even stripped him to his underwear and kept him in the room all day because they claimed he would try to kill himself even though some doctors didn’t think he would. They stopped this after just two days and then a little later the jail got a new boss.
But today, Bradley’s lawyer told us that the people at the jail came up with a new and even worse way to punish him:
Last night, PFC Manning was inexplicably stripped of all clothing by the Quantico Brig. He remained in his cell, naked, for the next seven hours. At 5:00 a.m., the Brig sounded the wake-up call for the detainees. At this point, PFC Manning was forced to stand naked at the front of his cell.
Why did they make Bradley spend the night naked? What could he have done to make them do that? He’s been in his jail cell 23 hours a day without talking to anyone, so I don’t see how he had a chance to do anything to make the jail people mad.
But Bradley must be even more worried now, because he knows they are taking his clothes again tonight:
PFC Manning has been told that the same thing will happen to him again tonight. No other detainee at the Brig is forced to endure this type of isolation and humiliation.
How can the people at the jail do this? Aren’t there laws that say people in jail can’t be tortured? I’d give Bradley my blankie tonight if I could. It’s probably colder in his room than it is in mine.
Here are Miss Jane and Mr. David talking about what’s being done to Bradley earlier today before we learned about his clothes being taken away:
And here is Mr. Jeff with more about Bradley’s clothes being taken away.

pouting baby!!!
Hi Suzanne!
your line about pouting baby wanting to give bradley his blankie was very touching jim.
I agree with Suz. Very touching. Poor Bradley, though.
Obama seems to be playing a game of one-upmanship with BushCo.
I think he wins, torturing an American Soldier on American Soil.
Isn’t this subject a bit… serious, reprehensible, disgusting, etc…to employ pouting baby? Sorry, just doesn’t seem appropriate to me.
Thanks. How can they not be satisfied with him being in jail? I don’t understand why they have to go for total humiliation, too.
It’s awful, and worse to think it’s happening at this very moment in time. Right now.
I really wish I could just puke and make the U.S. government go away.
Yeah, he’s blazing totally new territory here.
Well, the next logical step for our armed services, after getting away with what happened at Abu Graib, is this.
I think that weighs heaviest on the heart. Bradley Manning is at this moment trying to sleep, naked, in a cell in Quantico.
Exactly. We normally find out about these things after the fact. To be aware while it is actually happening takes it to a new level of awful.
And mainstream media? Fuckit. NYT has an article out this evening, but couldn’t even mention that DOD has confirmed this. Their article focused on Coombs’ alleging this incident.
Regular sicknesses eventually resolve and get better. As for the country, it’s hard to see that tonight.
Pouting Baby hits serious topics every now and then.
So much for “all Men are created equal” and “We hold these truths to be self evident”.
I wonder how Obama would like standing naked on a concrete floor, waiting for somebody to walk over and count him.
The NYT is run by the biggest bunch of self-serving gits this side of the WaPo.
this is beyond depraved………….pervs
Sounds like a good question to ask him the morning after his first night in Hell.
Mr. WHite, I love Pouting Baby, as do many others.
But it’s time PB handed Manning a key to freedom, n maybe an *edited in moderation*.
Cuz this shit’s beyond the pale what our government is doing to this boy.
Thank you for your update, and sorry if I got a bit graphic in my reply.
What is being done in WI and across the nation needs to be done for Manning . . . all of us masses, united in his cause.
He could be anyone of us, scooped up in the net of black ops and corporate fascism and disappeared to GITMO . . . any of us. At any time.
Not in my name. Not in my life.
MODNOTE: Lets leave the violent rhetoric out of the conversation
Yes. Be sure to see Marcy’s post on how our military prisons have been using nudity in the GWOT.
Speaking of news news, News Corp is on the march.
his 2 young girls should be soooooo proud of daddy
Right? Again, why am I supposed to be afraid of “wasting my vote” for voting third party or write in? Maybe a Republican will win in that case. Then s/he would torture people, slaughter civilians in ongoing wars of aggression, hold people without charges or trial, give away middle class taxpayer money to the wealthy, talk about “balancing the budget” by slashing Social Security and Medicare, create mandates that force us to buy a shitty product from the corporation who are the problem in the first place….
Yeah, what a fucking nightmare that would be…..
I would prefer to see his status determined in a fair judicial proceeding. But it’s getting harder and harder to believe that can ever occur…
Exactly. Any. One. Of. Us.
Now that they’ve managed to redefine “enemy”, how long until donating to Russ Feingold’s new gig is considered aiding the enemy? Or boycotting Walmart?
The toad is at full boil….
This is so sick. It sounds like some banana republic is in charge.
This young man volunteered to serve his country and is treated like this – an American citizen. It’s beyond words to express my pity for him and my complete distain for Obama.
Obama’s getting away with it because of the D next to his name.
At least with BushCo, they showed some restraint in a few areas.
And this social security, LIHEAP, etc., stuff? All these cuts to social service programs? Never fly with a Republican in the White House.
Why are my ears burning? Oh, you were talking about someone else…
Never mind.
So I’ve heard. No good can come of this, and the Brits had plenty of precedent to look at.
its commin
Now it’s on! Boehner grabs ahold of the third rail. Pledges to Cut Social Security and Medicare
Boehner Pledges to Cut Social Security and Medicare
House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) told the Wall Street Journal that he’s “determined to offer a budget this spring that curbs Social Security and Medicare, despite the political risks, and that Republicans will try to persuade voters that sacrifices are needed.”
Said Boehner: “People in Washington assume that Americans understand how big the problem is, but most Americans don’t have a clue… Once they understand how big the problem is, I think people will be more receptive to what the possible solutions may be.”
“Boehner also spoke forcefully in favor of raising the government’s debt limit, a move strongly opposed by many conservative House Republicans. He reiterated that the action would have to be coupled with significant spending cuts.”

Hi, Ratfood. Have missed you. Are you okay?
hahahahaha
((((ratty,bob))))
I’m soooo tired of having to edit Boner.
Yep. Daily Kos is celebrating “Obama’s victory” because the judge who found the Health Insurance Company and Pharmaceutical Welfare and Giveaway Act Unconstitutional stayed his own decision. WooHoo! A victory for the good guys! I threw a wet blanket on the proceedings by reminding them wtf they are celebrating.
Seconded
The nudity shit we do is creepier than anything.
This is unfuckingbelievable news.
W T F !!!!!
Perhaps Mr Boehner would like to sacrifice holding office. That would do the whole world a favor.
Hi Twain. Been lying low and resting my broken foot. BTW, typing with just 5 toes sucks. :)
Hope all is well in your world.
Good evening!
merka,home of the free

Yeah, I was halfway there too . . . but . . . alas I replied without your conviction.
I’m been a bit torn . . . until I think, just now, about this . . .
. . . that was a 21 year old boy at the time, he’s got sexual id things he needs to explore and resolve, he’s been thru the Marines (you don’t skate boot camp it’s hell for all) and he’s questioning a lot of what he believed or was conflicted with in all his being.
N he does the wiki and then he’s a terrorist and being tortured and held like a terrorist to break him completely (I believe he’s likely fried by now, a small fraction of who he was once).
A fuckin boy, of 21, seeking his place on the planet . . . with more issues than any hetero ever has to deal with . . . n he’s subjected to the torture standards we reserve for the GWOT.
I’d stand on the street here for him . . . I can’t be THERE, but I’d stand for him, here . . .
LeSigh, I drifted Maggie . . . sorry.
Makes the perpetrators no better than rapists or child molesters, IMHO.
Who’s
The
Fuhrer?
I wonder if they gave much thought to the new motto ‘Winning The Future” and what WTF stands for. Prolly not.
When Bonehead sacrifices his benefits, I’ll think about sacrificing mine. No, on second thought, we can just cut out his salary too.
i believe congress should SUSTAIN the first deep benni cuts
Will this force people to pay attention to how out of control our government has become? If it doesn’t, it’s hard to see what would do it.
(((sadly, Bazzie, horsie, rest of the brood)))
I want to say Horsie’s actual name is Aaron… Am I way off? Hopefully he’ll forgive me.
Awww shit, you think this is a test case to see how the domestic masses will handle future actions of ’rounding up’ dissidents?
No, tell me you don’t think that . . . or that it is a feasible line of thought?
?
Dayam.
ew hoping your convalescence isnt too bad
Hi Jim and best regards to your pouty but wise infant muse. :)
By shared sacrifice I think The Great Throbbing Orange Boner means “I’ll give up my bottled water while I’m at work, but you’ve gotta give up your retirement benefits that you paid for.”
Levi,biblical
Dissent is his only crime. There is no actionable intelligence suggesting anything leaked has caused harm to America or its allies.
He’s being humiliated, tortured and debased because he embarrassed the diplomats.
Had one of my Remicade infusions for arthritis last week. It reduces inflammation regardless of cause and relieved the foot about 90 percent. Just masking symptoms though and might actually slow the healing process.
Yeah well, I’m not going to gripe about it. If we all felt exactly the same way about everything, we’d be conservatives or lemmings. Or conservative lemmings. Normally I enjoy and appreciate Pouting Baby but I’m not going to play along on this particular topic. Pouting Baby just seems to me to be making very light of a really fucked up situation.
the meme will be government is BAD
instead of bad governing is bad
Cheney and Rumsfeld and Bush approved enhanced interrogation techniques (euphemism for ‘torture’).
As America has slipped into the darkness, sadism has become perversely a warrior virtue.
And now it’s here, too. Depravity doesn’t have any limits. Be careful out there.
and the corporations
Conservative lemmings only jump off cliffs that are owned by private parties.
But then they expect public First Responders to help them.
oh…have ya tried Mr. Eppy in hot water?Epsom salts soak…………
as marcy said yesterday:
he’s being punished for embarrassing the administration
Yay! Making a note, mnemonic tag “blue-jean.”
I actually find myself concerned that the things I write here, or the things I choose to tweet and retweet, are being watched. That those things may be used against me some day. Obamubarak is watching.
pouting baby,and everyone else must be heard on this,it diminishes us all
My last e-mail to the WH was on this subject and I called them cowards and corrupt. Will possibly have 2 men in dark suits at my door any day now – or a SWAT team.
Very little pain since the Remicade. Have to remind myself it’s not healed yet. Stuck wearing the torture boot that came with my surgery last December for at least a few more weeks. Glad it’s not hot weather, at least.
Just about dawn in Libya. This is going to be a bloody day by the looks of things. I hope it doesn’t get too bad.
i had a moment of hesitation when i was signing the petition jane put up yesterday — and then i figured what the hell, i’m probably already on gov’t watch lists
Yup. Manning’s treatment fits neatly into the torture research aimed at “breaking” minds. Really sad that it’s happening right now, on our shores, to one of us. This is the first move from it only being applied to the “others”. Tonight, we all just became the others…
Are you reading lots of good books and watching great movies? That’s what I would do. Take care of yourself and don’t stay away from the Lake. We need you.
Good on you. I wonder what happens to those emails.
Where are the charges against those people who are denying him constitutional rights?
Until they are charged, nobody should feel safe.
I have to go back to my first reaction to reading the diary, and I was ok with it.
It hurt, it stung, it seemed, weird . . . almost sick . . . but I got it I think.
On review, it still stings, seems weird, and sick . . . but I guess it’s essential.
Maggie, looking back on all the toons print and film/vid, and such that surrounded the beatnik/hippie rebellion of our years (some of the beat before us) and what THEY did in music, art, print in terms of parody of the evil they were fighting . . . I guess Pouting BABY is as good as anything Robert Crumb ever did . . .
Protest and the art of protest knows no bounds . . . protest and revolution and change always take on cultural norms and challenge them, as part of the revolution . . .
Perhaps Poutng Baby is gonna be a part of the Arthur Crumb concepts of our revolution?
I tend to want these kind of things . . . to remind me of the revolution that happened in my younger daze . . . I look for them, too, as signs there IS a whiff of change in the air . .
N dang if I don’t smell some Jasmine . . .
*G*
Round file, I imagine.
i swear when i fly,i see marshals plain clothes guys….no carry on luggage
Yes, I do hope things get better there. I don’t see how getting our military involved there is going to solve anything, but the neocon retreads sure are pushing for it.
I find myself having more moments like that. When sharing a story on FB from this site, or retweeting something from Anonymous. I wonder, momentarily, if this is being watched. Wonder what might happen.
They’re there. On almost every damn flight.
That’s a surefire way to make the new Libyan government dislike us.
enjoy the down time…forgive the pun,you are sidelined from the rat-race……..g
Yeah, ok . . . no quibble with that . . . ;-)
I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for that to happen.
That’s bad form Sadly, let’s leave the kids out of this . . . in fact, that’s abusive.
I take exception with it.
I hope others do, too . . .
Why did they take PFC Mannings’ clothes away?
Why did they put an Army PFC in a Marine Brig?
The Marines don’t like the Army, right?
And they have no fondness for gays, correct?
According to one reporter: They are the few, the proud and perhaps the military’s biggest opponents of lifting the ban on openly gay troops.
Real men don’t like a soldier who aids the enemy, as Manning is charged.
The Marines are real men (except lady Marines).
They don’t like gays.
They don’t like the Army.
That’s why they took PFC Manning’s clothes away, Pouting Baby.
Now smile, dammit.
Being nekkid isn’t the end of the world.
You don’t look you have a whole hell of a lot on yourself, P.B.
am i paranoid?
Therefore, it being the U.S. government and military we’re talking about, they’ll certainly do exactly that. “Colossal fuckheads” doesn’t begin to cover it.
i dont….he is a father,and father to this country
Yeah, I hear ya on that, considering them erected and appointed fucks are all bought off by corporate fascism . . . good point Mr. White . . .
Sorry about the PB imagery I conjured that was modded . . . did not mean to besmirch yer diary . . . just pissed as all hell.
Dif tween today and a year ago, I got some modicum of hope back for it all given WI and last week’s protests . . . it’s a start.
Remember the bumper sticker during the VN war “I love my country and fear my government”? It really applies now.
I wondered when someone would notice that Pouting Baby would be naked if he gave his blankie away. I think Pouting Baby is in a much safer environment for being naked.
Yep but our commander in chief is a stalwart tower who will stand up to them….okay, he’ll cave in like a mud hut in a hurricane.
the crazies are in charge….no doubt about it…….
Further out, no doubt, but still the fences of constitutional protection are being drawn closer and closer into us all . . . that is a given and any idjit can see that.
I still worry, but I’m elated by WI . . . as I know you are, also.
I weep not only for young Bradley Manning, but also for the America I once knew. We (the United States) have become unrecognizable, complicit in a brutality that tortures one of our own. The pouting baby can share his blankie, but who will erase this horror our country has become? We kill young boys in Afghanistan and torture a young man who is serving our country…shades of Gaddafi and Mubarak…no apology will make up for these behaviors, how can we abide them?
(((Twain)))
Been listening to lots of music. Fortunately Bob and I have similar tastes. :)
i figured pouting baby would still have his diaper covering his private parts… tis more than manning has
They’re just creating one more person that they can’t convict at trial but can’t ever release. Barack Obama: Change we can only imagine.
If not now, when?
It seems to me the water IS hotter, and we toads are feelin it and NOT likin it.
You? I’m hopeful Maggie . . . first for a long time . . . wish others were too . . .
hahahahaha
they have every act in the book……………the kabuki is sureal
While I love the blossoms in Madison, it’s hard to be an American tonight. The slaughter of children in a sneak helicopter attack in Afghanistan, the ongoing degradation of Pfc Bradley Manning, Iraq, and…oh, it goes on and on, and it’s nothing new, is it? The country has turned on an evil course; what’s a moral individual to do? It almost seems if you believe in truth, justice and the American way, well, you’re almost morally obliged to oppose the United States.
How sad that Nixon was actually so far to the left of our current prez.
Nope. My last flight I noticed a regular joe looking guy, cheap suit, hadn’t shaved in a day or so. Weapon on his ankle.
As they are saying a few comments upthread, the Wisconsin demonstrations give us some hope that people are finally beginning to awake to what is being done both to us and in our name.
We have much work to do.
Dang it, NO!
Sorry, I HATE this meme!
They are ALL getting away with it cuz the minority corporate fascists and 1% elite own and operate every facet of our lives . . . . they own our electeds, appointeds and all our systems of governance and existence.
Please . . . tell me you agree?
i fear the more i read ,that we have been like this a very long time….pre civil war slavery,revolutionary war,the Indians,buffalo etc
Aloha, Jim…! This is so sickening…! 8-(
This totally shames me and my 20 yrs of service…
Not to mention St. Ronnie the Mythical.
dang….one sat next to me…no conversation…..eek
I agree with you to an extent. I meant with the electorate. Most voters aren’t scrutinizing his actions the way they did with Bush. I think this is because Obama’s a democrat.
Aloha.
I’m sure you served honorably, as do the majority of those serving today. It’s just that there are some extremely sick people making decisions at very high levels and then implementing them.
Guy with the weapon on his ankle? Took a nap on the 1.5 hour flight. Keeping Merika Safez!
Btw, I just posted a new Diary…
Resignations Galore, Bibi Flails About, And, Hamas Arrests an Al Queda Member.
St. Ronnie the Mythical AND St. Ronnie the Actual were both left of Barry-O.
one doesnt have to agree with Larue,but he is pretty adamant….g
Change we can do without.
RATTIE!!!!!!
*G*
TWEETS TO BIRDIE!!!
*G*
You ok?
The feds are dying to get Manning to confess to something, anything. Or to do a plea bargain. It’s amazing they haven’t broken him yet.
hhahahahahahahaha
you da best!
He must genuinely not have anything to give them. That’s the only explanation I can imagine.
Goodnight folks. Thanks for a very thought-provoking conversation. I would imagine Pouting Baby will be more playful next week.
g’nite jim
Indeed.
*Gasp*
Hamas arrested an al Qaeda? But, but, but … they’re terrrrrrist!
/teabagger
Nite Jim.
Nite Jim.
Remember, one of the big motivations for torture is false confessions. That’s whats so amazing. Apparently Manning hasn’t even confessed to something he didn’t do, just to get it to stop.
I couldn’t imagine having anybody stripped naked for hours at time, be it a POW under my control or more specifically one of my own…! 8-(
This is an outright outrage…!
Never better, thanks. Yourself?
Bob says “Howdy Howdy Howdy (look at me, I’m a cowboy)”
Not in my Name!!
torture is fucking torture no how ya look at it and what they are doing Bradley IS torture!!
Last I knew that is still against the law os the USA… Yes?
ya know,Larues slam at me brings up,something another poster posted today about morality in politics….hey Obama if you are not proud of your actions,everyday,at least not embarrassed,then you are not a good president in my estimation
Good night Jim.
*heh* Terrists arresting Terrists…! Funky, no…? ;-)
nite Jim,thought provoking as usual
This is humiliation and well torture it gets cold in cement jail cells even with clothes and a blanket in winter you can bet the feds are not spending extra cash on heat.
As soon as Obama chose to “look forward,” the law became irrelevant.
that is exactly how i feel about it,and not on my dime either
To be fair St. Ronnie laid out the strategem that both parties now embrace. Pretend to favor small budgets while spending like drunken sailors, just not on anything that benefits anybody that isn’t rich.
Yer sayin Bob is faster with his beak n you with 5 toes?
*G*
that about sums it all up…open the jails….and Thomas is above the law also
To get him to confess to anything they want.
i didnt think of that…gaw
You bet, though he’s lots younger than me. Just sayin’…
It makes me feel funny. Like, confused and shit. My scalp’s all tingly.
He’s looking forward because that’s where the future is. He’s got to win it.
I’m hip. I’ve been saying for years now that trickle down economics has been embraced by the DC morons as conventional wisdom.
If Manning gets sick from the cold will they let him see a doctor? Maybe they would rather he just expire and then they won’t have worry about the problem any more.
Tell Jane to warn him after so much time alone they will stick a ringer in his cell or the next cell over who Brad will think is also being tortured they will bond and the other prisoner will ask for details.
Whether Brad talks or not does not matter the prisoner will confess that Brad talked and will magically say Brad confessed to everything the Government could want him to say.
Sure the Jail house Snitch is a joke and most lawyers can beat it unless there is tape but people have gone to Death Row for less.
You mean like the three doctors they already let examine him, then ignored the opinions the doctors gave?
I imagine that conversation would go something like
“Chief, we believe he has pneumonia.
Well, leave him be. Maybe he’ll solve this problem for us and expire”.
hay,life is good at the top…..they havent a care
The House and Senate have been millionaires clubs for a long time and the days when there were guys like Ted Kennedy who actually gave a shit about the have-nots are so OVER.
They don’t let any of these guys die. Part of the fun is watching them deteriorate, then bringing them back just enough to start the torture all over again. Remember the force feedings? Dirty tubes, rammed down throats of prisoners who were on hunger strikes.
they should throw a few crumbs to Madame Defarge
But is he a test case, and has our government done this to make it a test case?
It;s fuckin horrid . . . and I fear . . . so . . . to my question?
Now imagine cold showers in winter if he isn’t being offered clothes.
You fighting rhematoid?
Bradley is teh brave…………..full force of MICC is upon him
that young man is a true hero
Y’gotta love Cloris…
On that happy note I will bid everyone adieu. Thanks to Jim and Pouting Baby. Splendid evening to all.
Psoriatic arthritis, variation on the same theme.
I don’t think that was it initially. But they’re definitely taking notes on how much they’re getting away with.
g’nite ratty
Nite, Ratty.
I can certainly appreciate your perspective . . . and how hard you’ve fought for your civil rights all yer life . . . . bless ya.
I’m hopin for better, for us all . . . with or without PB or cultural and social arts icons . . .
Bless ya . . .
Pouting baby, you need to take this up with the Commander-In-Chief:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28574408/ns/politics-white_house/
Doubt i will sleep well tonight thinking of Manning. I just feel sick.
Heh, me likey . . .
Nite rf.
Jail Doctors are a joke Aspirin and advice like stop smoking. I’ve seen guards tell a diabetic no non sugar food today they let us buy snacks if we had cash and then give the guy a candy bar. We all rioted over that and the guards found some non sugar food.
I’ve seen a prisoner who ended up going to the hospital wait 10 minutes before getting the guards attention and my entire cell block was yelling we got a guy who needs a Doctor. This was all County jail in Illinois how the Feds run things…well Brad has it much worse from the guards.
i wonder if Jane can do a film about him? Valerie Palme needs a film too.
best sweet dreams,i think ill follow,its past 12 here…nite all,keep resisting!!
ditto ,yes,Spielberg bought the rights to Assange book
Just makes you so proud, doesn’t it. s/
Yep, and since we were teens in our streets then, we know this.
I wonder, Suz, just how much of our population do ya think don’t know this?
I hafta think the masses are getting hipper . . . n of course, I’ll lay credit for that with Madison, WI . . . cuz it’s obvious we DFH’s of long ago know this shit, or heard of it . . .
Maybe once again, into the breech?
Maybe?
I will.
g’nite sadly
The Valerie Plame movie was awful.
This could be us.
I don’t think there’s any question this and all we type on the intertubes is used by others for screening purposes . . . including job hiring.
I’ve felt that way since ’03 . . .
There was a film I thought they did a Judy Miller film?
I have no idea if they did a movie about Miller.
Geneva Convention
For the purposes of this Convention, torture means any act by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person for such purposes as obtaining from him or a third person information or a confession, punishing him for an act he or a third person has committed or is suspected of having committed, or intimidating or coercing him or a third person, or for any reason based on discrimination of any kind, when such pain or suffering is inflicted by or at the instigation of or with the consent or acquiescence of a public official or other person acting in an official capacity. It does not include pain or suffering arising only from, inherent in or incidental to lawful sanctions.
The case can be made that Manning’s jailers are in compliance with these strictures against severe pain or suffering.
I thought the Judy Miller film might have had a Valerie Palme character in it. Was that the film you were talking about or was there another crappy film?
Fair Game.
Great film. And evening, CE.
Oi. Looking for used cars in the Austin area and finding nothing but college leftovers and beat up pickups.
That film made me cry. Jeebus. Hey Kris.
Looks to me like a clear violation.
Beat up pick-ups definitely still work…! ;-)
Still my fave auto was a ’70 Chevy with a 327 engine…! ;-)
We bought an ’84 Ford pick-up and a 1989 Bronco II from my Dad in Delaware. It was crazy, but the junkers were good for teen drivers. Wrecked each one multiple times. Bad for vehicles, no health issues for children.
At least the guards didn’t shit on him or make other prisoners shit on him a la Abu G.
Good riddance to Dr. Zahi Hawass… Don’t let the door knob hit ya where the good lord split ya…! ;-)
So horrible, so disgusting.
DING!
Anybody have connections to a nudist colony? Could organize a naked protest outside Quantico… could be fun and one would think the MSM would pick up on it. Sex sells afterall.
I believe the interpretation of “mental” pain, at least in the EU, precludes the naked thing.
But then we have the Cheney interpretation and a rewritten military manual that endorses 90% of Cheneycare.
Folks in the military do not normally think about what is, and is not, a lawful order. The officer that ordered this was ordered to do so – and so on – so it is Obama – if he wanted decent treatment for Manning he could order it.
Every time I learn more of this story, Obama sickens me even further.
Obama has through the treatment of Bradley, exposed his real self and how he feels about progressives.
I have never been more disgusted and ashamed of my country as I am right now. I really feel for my kids. Sigh!
Kris – Same thoughts have crossed my mind everytime I sign an online petition. Last week, I registered to become an official firepup because I really wanted to comment re an outrage I’d seen on MSM. After joining, I thought “is this the action that will get me rounded up someday?”
When I think that this sort of thought could cross my mind in our country and with a (supposed) D president, I could weep.
