Help us rent a billboard for Bradley in Washington DC

Bradley will soon have his own billboard in the Washington DC metro area, if we step up. We're launching this campaign to rent the high-profile ad space to coincide with the soon-expected start of his pre-trial court martial in the DC area.

1. If Bradley Manning truly was a hero, Obama would have pardoned him.
Hasn't happened yet. And it isn't going to happen.

2. Also, you seem to presuppose that he did it.
If even his supporters think he committed a crime and he's not going to get a pardon, what chance has he got?

4. Then he'll be found innocent or pardoned.

5. Not in the US he won't.
Not with this supreme court or this president.

Don't be naive.

6. Sadly, you're absolutely right.
No explanation needed.

7. Whoa, whoa, whoa! So you think Obama would let an innocent man be punished?

9. Sure do....
He let innocent tax payers bail out rich bankers who promptly continued the same reckless practice of betting against debt they knew about whilst giving out bonuses.

Financially terrorizing the entire world and socializing debt doesn't phase him, so why would letting an innocent man or woman be punished?

How naive you are.

8. If only we could go back in time....

Daniel Ellsberg:

I was the Bradley Manning of my day. In 1971 I too faced life (115 years) in prison for exposing classified government lies and crimes. President Obama says “the Ellsberg material was classified on a different basis.” True. The Pentagon Papers were not Secret like the Wikileaks revelations, they were all marked Top Secret—Sensitive.


Ultimately all charges in my case were dropped because of criminal governmental misconduct toward me during my proceedings. Exactly the same outcome should occur now, in light of the criminal conditions of Manning’s confinement for the last six months.
