Bradley Manning's 1000 days in prison [Article]

A commentor on the Guardian site says it well: "Considering all the lies and deceit that led to the Iraq War, Abu Gharaib, Guantanamo, rendition, torture, the propping up of brutal dictators, the war crimes and indiscriminate drone killings, the propaganda on our "news" channels, the trillions of dollars lost, stolen, or tossed dow a hole in the desert, we are prosecuting the wrong guy.".  Bradley Manning, 25, has spent 1000 days in military prison, most of it in solitary confinement, for "the largest leak of US state secrets" to wikileaks.
