In Support of Bradley Manning

Last night at 5 pm in Boulder, there was a vigil for national hero, Bradley Manning, who exposed atrocities committed by the US armed forces in Iraq by leaking videos to Wikileaks. He has been held in prison without trial (in direct violation of the due process clause of the 5th Amendment of the Constitution of the United States) for nearly two years. He has recently gone to trial on counts including “Aiding the Enemy” which could carry as its sentence the death penalty. The 20 or so protestors in Boulder shared thoughts and statistics as the mostly unaffected pedestrians of Pearl Street meandered by.
