I saw this video when it was first released and still remain as shocked and disgusted by the callousness as I was then. I feel very sad about the fate of Bradley Manning, a martyr to unrelenting power.
Susan, I posted it soon after its release, but at the end of the Manning trial thought I ought to do it again.
Claude, I (think I) know what you mean. However, this sounds too much like collective guilt. I do not accept this. I do confess, though, that not seldom I do wish the Cheneys and Rumsfelds, the Bushs and Obamas a long-lasting miserable end.
Oh, do I need to mention this "pious wish" goes for any despote on this planet, and the lowlifes ensuring their power?
I'm stunned.

Yes, they laughed, Ashley.
