BooRadley has a great article comparing Bradley Manning to the whistleblower over the MyLai massacre in 1968...
If you don't know, Firedoglake has been tracking Bradley Manning's story from the earliest. Kevin Gozstola has been at every court hearing and opportunity the press has been given to try to see what's up with Bradley. This is what journalism is for, to shine a light on the whistleblowers and malcontents who get arrested so that people can know what's being done to us in their name while their collective civil rights are violated because we don't always get to hear until afterward when one of these have lost theirs. Jane and Dan Choi almost got arrested for going along with the MP to offer gifts. Crazy! So pitch K G a couple bucks or buy a t-shirt. They're even stylish and American made. I want one of the fleeces. They've also got it set up so you can donate stuff for Occupy Supply helping Sandy refugees... it sux too because many people are tapped out across the country: after the election season, before xmas...
