Obama PERSONALLY Approves Of The Torture Of PFC Bradley Manning



Manning will be forced to be nude every night from now on for the indefinite future -- not only when he sleeps, but also when he stands outside his cell for morning inspection along with the other brig detainees. They claim that it is being done "as a 'precautionary measure' to prevent him from injuring himself."

Has anyone before successfully committed suicide using a pair of briefs -- especially when under constant video and in-person monitoring? There's no underwear that can be issued that is useless for killing oneself? And if this is truly such a threat, why isn't he on "suicide watch" (the NYT article confirms he's not)? And why is this restriction confined to the night; can't he also off himself using his briefs during the day?

Let's review Manning's detention over the last nine straight months: 23-hour/day solitary confinement; barred even from exercising in his cell; one hour total outside his cell per day where he's allowed to walk around in circles in a room alone while shackled, and is returned to his cell the minute he stops walking; forced to respond to guards' inquiries literally every 5 minutes, all day, everyday; and awakened at night each time he is curled up in the corner of his bed or otherwise outside the guards' full view. Is there anyone who doubts that these measures -- and especially this prolonged forced nudity -- are punitive and designed to further erode his mental health, physical health and will? As The Guardian reported last year, forced nudity is almost certainly a breach of the Geneva Conventions; the Conventions do not technically apply to Manning, as he is not a prisoner of war, but they certainly establish the minimal protections to which all detainees -- let alone citizens convicted of nothing -- are entitled.-Bradley Manning's forced nudity to occur daily


Obama the liar (and the hero of fake "liberals" who get thrills up their legs when they think about the black messiah) is truly a piece of criminal shit!

  1. I've never been in the military, so I admit, I'm not sure how it all operates. I would think however that even the dumbest military in the world wouldn't give it's lowest ranking members access to top secret information. So unless we actually have the dumbest military in the world OR there is more to this whole thing than meets the eye. Perhaps the U.S. military should have a new motto "Torture the Scapegoat".

  2. To be fair, you can create a nice crossbow from the elastic in your underwear, some newspaper, and a piece of a food tray. Prisoners have done it before.
