Pre-trial, remember.
God Damn America.

Funny, I thought that to be a criminal you had to have a trial and stuff.doesnt sound much different from what other criminals that are in solitary confinement and on POI get, while in prison
they dont send you to club-fed before your trial. putting him under the "poi" watch could also be their way of fvcking with himFunny, I thought that to be a criminal you had to have a trial and stuff.
Silly me.
I do wonder on what grounds or evidence they put him on POI watch?they dont send you to club-fed before your trial. putting him under the "poi" watch could also be their way of fvcking with him
This would drive me nuts........ Sleep Deprivation, isn't that one of Cheney's Guantanamo tactics?The guards are required to check on PFC Manning every five minutes by asking him if he is okay. PFC Manning is required to respond in some affirmative manner. At night, if the guards cannot see PFC Manning clearly, because he has a blanket over his head or is curled up towards the wall, they will wake him in order to ensure he is okay.
Asked every 5min if he's ok, not allowed to sleep between 5am and 8pm, and not allowed to exercise in the cell? Yeah, show me where that occurs in the ordinary penal system outside of our military....doesnt sound much different from what other criminals that are in solitary confinement and on POI get, while in prison
Which of course adheres to the strict 'fvcking with the citizen' clause of our penal system, so deftly drafted by our forefathers.they dont send you to club-fed before your trial. putting him under the "poi" watch could also be their way of fvcking with him
it would drive me nuts too, but im sure they have their "reasons"I do wonder on what grounds or evidence they put him on POI watch?

ask any C.O. or anyone that has been to prison before. it happens ALL the time when someone is on suicide watch.Asked every 5min if he's ok, not allowed to sleep between 5am and 8pm, and not allowed to exercise in the cell? Yeah, show me where that occurs in the ordinary penal system outside of our military....
not saying its right at all, just that it happens all the timeWhich of course adheres to the strict 'fvcking with the citizen' clause of our penal system, so deftly drafted by our forefathers.
i like your original comment moar better.He's not an ordinary citizen subject to ordinary laws nor a n ordinary judicial system.
His day is easier than some days on deployment, he gets TV and a shower and no one is trying to kill him
No need throwing rocks at Silver...like wrestling with a pig. We both get dirty and the pig likes it.i like your original comment moar better
i didnt see it as a jab at him, just a realization and truth behind what he is going through isnt anything out of norm and because of what he did, he is in this position.No need throwing rocks at Silver...like wrestling with a pig. We both get dirty and the pig likes it.
Yeah, like I said in the original, if you haven't been in the military, you don't know the insight. If he did kill himself or try to and injured himself, there would be either a tin foil thread here about the government assassinating him, or a thread screaming about how the military failed to protect him.i didnt see it as a jab at him, just a realization and truth behind what he is going through isn't anything out of norm and because of what he did, he is in this position.
military treason is grounds for execution, no?
Nuthing like bit of the old "Guilty until proven guilty"Now, if he's such a bad ass to be treasonous, be prepared for the blow back.
barry's also....if that rest and recreation mecca is still in business.This would drive me nuts........ Sleep Deprivation, isn't that one of Cheney's Guantanamo tactics?
I read several items about this guy over the last 2 days and have to agree - the unifrom code ofj ustice is what it is.He took the oath, was explained the rules about opsec and the consequences of failing to adhere to it. Now, if he's such a bad ass to be treasonous, be prepared for the blow back.
In our military justice system, you are pretty much guilty until proven guilty. It's a known fact, admitted by Manning, that he gave classified documents away. Under the UCMJ, that's a crime.Nuthing like bit of the old "Guilty until proven guilty"
means you can act in any petty vindictive way you feel like.
The Government.And who are you saying is being vindictive? Me or the US Government?
maybe they found his Linkin Park cdthey could just also say that he said "i want to kill myself"
Yeah, like I said in the original, if you haven't been in the military, you don't know the insight.

calling the boogeyman again?i'm sure he'd much rather be in a cell on suicide watch than sitting on a secluded OP actually doing the job of those he may have put in jeopardy.
It doesn't.Yeah, show me where that occurs in the ordinary penal system outside of our military....
Look at all the cute law and order types now that it's a scrub.
Y'all would have been chanting "USA USA" at the World Series this year when a bonafide war criminal threw out the first pitch though...
Uh, every time GWB appeared on camera during the WS, everyone I watched the games with boo'ed more than loudly than at every Ranger combined.Look at all the cute law and order types now that it's a scrub.

and thats not illegal??I think the persecution of Assange is outrageous.
He simply distributed information.
That is right.and thats not illegal??
I don't know, is it?and thats not illegal??
its a lot different. if those car are in public, its fair game.I don't know, is it?
He didn't have access to the info.
He didn't take the info himself.
He simply published info provided to him.
How is what he did any different than Autoblog putting unreleased car photos/information on it's site?
