The prisoner Bradley Manning

Ivan Lessa

Columnist BBC Brazil

American soldier. Father, ditto. Mother of Wales. 23. 1.57 high. Was in Brazil had the nickname "Squeak." But it was in the United States and North America.

You know. One of Obama's Municipal in Rio, in Iraq, Afghanistan and at Guantanamo Bay, he promised to shut down and not closed. Obama is not a coherent person. Obama in those years of his mandate has not made a single phrase or memorable. Not so with the soldier Bradley Manning.

Bradley Manning has been detained since May last year, under proper conditions themselves what Americans called Third World. Why Bradley Manning is being held in what is called there for them "provisional arrest"? Why was the man who went to the messianic "demon blond" (if not a contradiction in terms) 250 000 Assange counting diplomatic communications between them, with the notorious, and more than disclosed (check YouTube) and video - there is no other word - execution of eight Iraqi civilians, including two children, by U.S. soldiers under instructions from an helicopter. Eight Iraqis were higher age at all.

 
The scene, with subtitles, was shown on British television documentary in commercial television, ITV, prepared by the splendid Australian author and journalist John Pilger. The creepy opening sequence the film. Subtitles scenes in "combat" to be clear. There are those mannerisms military we are accustomed to, thanks to film and television. All amid much merriment. Roger, over, out, Copy That, and the vital order, or lethal, the sentence coming from the air, "Light 'em all up. Shoot. "(More or less," Ignite them all. Shoot. ") Threw. Iraqis were lit and the two children.

Bradley Manning did not deny being the source of the leak. Suffered such a provisional ruling that lasts long time. Not before spokesman PJ Crowley, Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, have wisely stated that Manning had not been convicted of any crime and that his arrest was "stupid and counterproductive." Crowley was forced to resign. Sure. Bradley Manning is trapped under more than disclosed, all worthy of the most bloody dictatorships.

 
Below, the cold and dry, your day to day. I stress that if someone check on YouTube, you'll see the comments for a large proportion of the prison regime imposed on Manning.

 
The American soldier Bradley Manning, held in Quantico, where is situated also the FBI, without trial or conviction, is not allowed to exercise in his cell during the day. You have no right to possession of anything.

It is forbidden to talk to the guards his jailers. Every five minutes, is obliged to respond if they are well and fit. If you return the face to the wall during sleep is readily agreed.

 
Bradley Manning, who, incredibly, still retains a sense of humor, pointed to the fact that he could if I wanted to be insulting to their underwear, as they were immediately removed.

 
Only you are allowed for a few minutes, visitors on Saturdays and Sundays. The rest of the week are 23 hours a day cell. Also receives a daily dose of antidepressants.

 
President Barack Obama did not visit any police station or jail in Brasilia and in Rio. His wife, first lady Michelle Obama, is leading a campaign against obesity among children.
