Analogously, the innocent and the guilty alike have Miranda rights, for the time being at least. GannonGuckert, O'Keefe, Hannity, Limbaugh have never produced anything resembling journalism and until they do the point is moot.

I am less concerned about that than about what was revealed in the example I mentioned. As to my inference of disapproval, Manning has been referred to in today's post and in a recent podcast solely in terms of his breach of military discipline. If that is the extent of someone's comment on the entire issue, I think it is fair to assume disapproval. The issue of importance, for me, is that our armed forces, sometimes, but I hope not often, behave badly, at times to the point of committing war crimes.

If I am not mistaken, Mr. Manning is responsible for leaking the Apache helicopter gun camera and audio known as “Collateral Murder”. If you haven’t seen it, go over to You Tube and spend 17 minutes observing what I hope is an unrepresentative example of our gallant army air officers in action. Either these men are too blind to fly, too poorly trained to tell the difference between a camera and an RPG, or are lying sadists. I have my theory as to which is the truth. If our press did its job, I wouldn’t have to hound my war cheerleader friends and relatives to go look at what is being done in their name. They would have seen it on CNN about a hundred times, kind of like the plane that flew into tower 2. Our CIC should screen that at his next meeting with the Joint Chiefs of the armed forces and tell them, “The next time something like this happens, there will be courts martial and resignations starting with those responsible, and ending with someone in this room. The same goes for the rapes, and the child prostitutes and sex slaves around our overseas bases. This meeting is adjourned, you are dismissed.” Our President is from Chicago, but he apparently never heard of Elliot Ness. <br />Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05429309964648275918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-81669847535288852682013-05-23T08:42:08.276-05:002013-05-23T08:42:08.276-05:00Bradley Manning is a Hero.
