Also, Bradley Manning

In the United States, there's not a whole hell of a lot of coverage of the torture of Bradley Manning.  It would be bad for entirety of the American ruling class if Manning's actions and treatment were well-understood by the teeming American underclass.  David Petraeus is a free man.  Dick Cheney has not been subjected to the torture he so richly deserves.  Colin Powell and Condi Rice have never been held accountable for their war crimes.  Lloyd Blankfein has not been kept in Federal prison awaiting charges for his treasonous actions.  But Bradley Manning, he's subjected to the worst torture an imperial police state can dish out because he told an uncomfortable truth.

America.

Fuck.
