if i haven't been writing about bradley manning, it's not because i haven't been watching. i will remind you of article III, section 3 of the constitution: "Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court." i'll say this: it is far far past time that bradley manning faces his accusers in open court. effectively, he has been convicted and is being confined and brutalized for treason without any judicial proceeding that i have been able to detect. they are constitutionally obliged to try or release him, right now.
