What a fantastic accapella song at the end – all for us :) So, in honor of Gaga and her entourage, please let’s remember Bradley Manning.

Bradley Manning is the young soldier accused of leaking the military’s footage that WikiLeaks released as the Collateral Murder video, which depicts 12 Iraqi civilians being gunned down by US forces from a helicopter. He is also suspected of leaking the large “Afghan War Diary” documents that WikiLeaks published this summer.

I think it has pretty well been established that Bradley Manning is a soldier who happens to be gay, who has bravely served his country. He is locked up tight in a military prison, with practically no communication to the outside world…

But while it is not known if he is in fact the source for these releases, if he did, the truth about these wars should be unearthed. Everyone on the side of justice should stand up for Manning and against the threats coming from OUR government and pro-war reactionaries.
