« US Death Rates Increase from Fukishima Fallout | Manning's Lawyer Plans Clemency/Presidential Appeals » |
from: Bill Hughes
On Wednesday afternoon, August 21, 2013, supporters of Pfc. Bradley Manning held a press conference at a hotel in Hanover, MD. It is located just minutes from Fort Meade, where the Wikileaks whistle-blower had earlier received a 35-year prison sentence from the trial judge, Col. Denise Lind. Manning also was “dishonorably discharged.” He was found guilty of various charges ranging from computer fraud to federal theft dealing with the unauthorized release of “over 700,000 documents.” I talked with a social justice advocate, Kevin Zeese, about the situation. He shared his views with me. Zeese is a member of the “Bradley Manning’ Support Team.”
