Man ser som kendt sig selv som frihedskæmper i det små (i forhold til Friedman) her på stedet, så hvorfor benytter man ikke lidt af den adgang man har til medierne til at slå et slag for Bradley Manning, som ikke længe vil blive justitsmyrdet i bananrepublikken USA.

En sag der er uendeligt meget vigtigere en PostDanmarks unoder, en whistleblower-sag, der vil komme til at forme den første halvdel af dette åhundrede, så hvorfor ikke gribe chancen til at vise, at man kke er lige så hyklerisk som Obama-demokraterne er det omkring Guantanamo og Obamas kill-list?

Vi er vel alle for First Amendment og ikke bare pundits?

Fra Mannings venner på Firedog Lake:

Bradley Manning will be back in Ft. Meade on August 27th – the same week as the Republican National Convention in Florida.

We know that media coverage is key to preventing the government from convicting manning in secret, but unless we act now, any courtroom revelations at this next hearing could be completely drowned-out by the media circus that will surround the RNC at the same time.

There are only a handful of hearings left before Bradley’s court martial – and we must make sure the media are there to cover all of them. Can you send letters to your local media asking them to provide coverage of Bradley Manning’s next pre-trial hearing.

Write your local paper and ask them to cover Bradley Manning’s next pre-trial hearing August 27 – 31.

OR – if you’ve noticed increased coverage in your local papers, write a thank-you note and encourage them to keep up the good work.

We’ve already written more than 27,000 letters to papers across the country demanding they cover the ongoing Bradley Manning trial – and our efforts are making a difference.

The Seattle Stranger even sent a reporter all the way to Ft. Meade for Manning’s last motion hearing, and our letters to the editor are getting published in locals like Wisconsin’s Beloit Daily News.1 And last week more than 9,000 activists added their names to our FOIA request for the judge’s decisions in this case – you can track the progress of that request here.

But the media has a short attention span – and we know that if we don’t take major action again they will ignore this important hearing to focus completely on the RNC in Tampa. We must redouble our efforts and make sure Manning’s hearing is properly covered.

Write your local paper and ask them to cover Bradley Manning’s next pre-trial hearing August 27 – 31.

Denne sum kan de så meget passende udbetale til restauratøren, der ikke har modtaget sin post.
