Desmond Tutu Supports Lynne!
March 24th, 2013Below find a short email from Bishop Desmond Tutu regarding a letter he received from Richard Falk and Ralph Schoenman asking him to sign the petition for Lynne:
Dear Friend,
It is devastating, totally unbelievable. Is this in a democracy, the only superpower? I am sad.
I will sign.
Praying God’s blessings on yr efforts.
+Desmond Tutu.
The letter from Richard and Ralph is below:
The Honorable Bishop Desmond Tutu
Dear Bishop Tutu,
Your moral authority in raising awareness and touching the conscience of people across the world, concerning prevailing injustice and assault upon human rights, emboldens us to enlist your support for the distinguished civil rights and civil liberties attorney Lynne Stewart, whose life is in imminent danger and epitomizes the plight of a courageous prisoner of conscience.
Lynne Stewart had been co-counsel with former Attorney General Ramsey Clark and noted civil liberties attorney Abdeen Jabaar for the Egyptian cleric Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman.
In 2002, George Bush’s Attorney General John Ashcroft charged Lynne Stewart with “material support to terrorism” solely for providing her client with a vigorous defense.
Due process itself and basic democratic rights have been violated, comprising an ominous threat to every attorney who would contemplate providing needed defense for vulnerable people targeted and demonized by the State. It is precisely in situations where lawyers take on politically sensitive clients that protection is most needed.
The government’s consequent vindictive prosecution and persecution of Lynne Stewart has breached all moral constraint, and illustrates the problem of providing unpopular defendants with their full legal rights.
Her bail was revoked even while her case was pending before the courts. A surgical procedure scheduled at Sloan Kettering Hospital in New York was thus delayed 18-months until the prison authorities finally arranged for the operation in a Fort Worth, Texas hospital.
Lynne Stewart also is suffering from breast cancer. Her cancer, previously in remission and monitored closely by her physicians at Sloan Kettering, not only has returned but has metastasized, spreading to her lymph nodes, shoulder, bones and lungs, creating a severe threat to her life.
Even when allowed access to prison medical facilities, 73-year old Lynne Stewart is shackled with ten pounds of chains at her wrists and feet. When hospitalized after surgical intervention or for the administration of chemotherapy, one wrist is shackled to a bedpost and an ankle to another. Given the political nature of her alleged “crime” and taking account of her health, such treatment amounts to a constitutional offense known in the United States as “cruel and unusual punishment.”
Lynne Stewart is in a seven-person cell at the Federal Medical Center, Carswell, Texas, with toilet and shower facilities difficult to reach as they are down a corridor and the dining facilities are even further away. These conditions are incompatible with appropriate treatment, recuperation from systemic disease and the prospect of survival.
Federal law itself mandates “compassionate release” for prisoners facing life-threatening illness, so that treatment commensurate with their condition may be secured in an environment of nurture and family emotional support indispensable to the prospect of recovery.
We ask your endorsement of the International Petition printed below as a matter of urgency and appeal to you to enlist the support of others.
We should be grateful for your suggestions concerning how to amplify this campaign. We should welcome any further advice that you might provide.
We share your conviction that world conscience so mobilized can speak truth to power and much look forward to hearing from you.
With our highest regard,
Sincerely,
Richard Falk

Exposed U.S. Imperialist Crimes-Hail Bradley Manning! Free Him Now!
After enduring nearly three years of detention, at times under
torturous conditions, on February 28 Army Private Bradley Manning confessed that
he had provided WikiLeaks a trove of military and diplomatic documents that
exposed U.S. imperialist schemes and wartime atrocities. Manning’s guilty plea
on ten of 22 counts against him could land him in prison for 20 years. But this
pound of flesh is not enough for the imperialist rulers, who not only seek
vengeance but are also determined to silence anyone perceived as an obstacle to
their designs for world domination. A day after Manning confessed, military
prosecutors announced plans to try him on the remaining counts, including
“aiding the enemy” and violating the Espionage Act. Trial is expected to begin
in early June. If convicted on these charges, Manning faces life in prison.
In lifting a bit of the veil of secrecy and lies with which the
capitalist rulers cover their depredations, Bradley Manning performed a great
service to workers and oppressed around the world. All who oppose the
imperialist barbarity and machinations revealed in the material he provided must
join in demanding his immediate freedom. Also crucially important is the defense
of Julian Assange against the vendetta by the U.S., Britain and their cohorts,
who are attempting to railroad him to prison by one means or another for his
role in running WikiLeaks.
In a 35-page statement he read to the military court after entering
his plea, Manning told of his journey from nearly being rejected in basic
training to becoming an army intelligence analyst. In that capacity he came
across mountains of evidence of U.S. duplicity and war crimes. The materials he
provided to WikiLeaks included military logs documenting 120,000 civilian deaths
in Iraq and Afghanistan and a formal military policy of covering up torture,
rape and murder. A quarter-million diplomatic cables address all manner of
lethal operations within U.S. client states, from the “drug war” in Mexico to
drone strikes in Yemen. He also released files containing assessments of
detainees held at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. These documents show that the government
continued to hold many who, Manning stated, were believed or known to be
innocent, as well as “low level foot soldiers that did not have useful
intelligence.”
The Pentagon declared war against WikiLeaks following the release
of a video, conveyed by Manning, of a 2007 U.S. Apache helicopter airstrike in
Iraq that killed at least 12 people, including two Reuters journalists. American
forces are then shown firing on a van that pulled up to help the victims.
Manning said he was most alarmed by the “bloodlust they appeared to have.” He
described how instead of calling for medical attention for a seriously wounded
individual trying to crawl to safety, an aerial crew team member “asks for the
wounded person to pick up a weapon so that he can have a reason to engage.”
By January 2010, Manning said, he “began to become depressed with
the situation that we found ourselves increasingly mired in year after year” and
decided to make public many of the documents he had backed up as part of his
work as an analyst. Manning first offered the materials to the Washington
Post and the New York Times. Not getting anywhere with these pillars
of the bourgeois press establishment, in February 2010 he made his first
submission to WikiLeaks. He attached a note advising that “this is possibly one
of the more significant documents of our time removing the fog of war and
revealing the true nature of twenty-first century asymmetric warfare. Have a
good day.”
The charge of “aiding the enemy”—i.e., Al Qaeda—is especially
ominous. This used to mean things like military sabotage and handing over
information on troop movements to a battlefield enemy. In Manning’s case, the
prosecution claims that the very act of publicizing U.S. military and diplomatic
activities, some of which took place years before, amounted to “indirect”
communication with Al Qaeda. Manning told the court that he believed that public
access to the information “could spark a domestic debate on the role of the
military and our foreign policy in general.” He hoped that this “might cause
society to reevaluate the need or even the desire to engage in counterterrorism
and counterinsurgency operations that ignore the complex dynamics of the people
living in the affected environment everyday.” But by the lights of the
imperialists’ war on terror, any exposure of their depredations can be construed
as support to the “terrorist” enemy, whoever that might be.
The Pentagon intends to call no fewer than 141 witnesses in its
show trial, including four people to testify anonymously. One of them,
designated as “John Doe,” is believed to be a Navy SEAL who participated in the
raid that killed Osama bin Laden. “Doe” is alleged to have grabbed three disks
from bin Laden’s Abbottabad, Pakistan, compound on which was stored four files’
worth of the WikiLeaks material provided by Manning. Also reportedly retrieved
from bin Laden’s hard drives was a trove of American porn videos. Are Obama
& Co. planning to put the owners of Vivid Entertainment in the dock as well?
Nor do charges under the Espionage Act have to have anything to do
with actual spying. The law was one of an array of measures adopted to
criminalize antiwar activity after U.S. imperialism’s entry into the First World
War. It mandated imprisonment for any act deemed to interfere with the
recruitment of troops. Among its first and most prominent victims was Socialist
Party spokesman Eugene V. Debs, who was jailed for a June 1918 speech at a
workers’ rally in Canton, Ohio, where he denounced the war as capitalist
slaughter and paid tribute to the leaders of the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution.
Dozens of Industrial Workers of the World organizers were also thrown into
prison. So broad was the law’s reach that Robert Goldstein, producer of the
movie The Spirit of ’76, was convicted and originally sentenced to ten
years on the grounds that the film’s depiction of the brutality of British
soldiers during the American Revolution would undermine support for a U.S.
wartime ally!
In the early 1970s, the Nixon government tried, unsuccessfully, to
use this law to go after Daniel Ellsberg, whose release of the Pentagon Papers
to the New York Times shed light on the history of U.S. imperialism’s
losing war against the Vietnamese workers and peasants. Obama has happily picked
up Nixon’s mantle. Manning’s prosecution will be the sixth time the Obama
administration has used the Espionage Act against the source of an unauthorized
leak of classified information—more than the combined total under all prior
administrations since the law’s enactment in 1917. As we have repeatedly
stressed, Barack Obama, who came into office with broad support from liberals
and the left, is simply carrying out his duties as Commander-in-Chief, stepping
up attacks on democratic rights to pave the way for further imperialist
depredations and attacks on the workers and oppressed at home.
Noting his initial uncertainty about releasing the diplomatic
cables, Manning remarked that he had “once read and used a quote on open
diplomacy written after the First World War and how the world would be a better
place if states would avoid making secret pacts and deals with and against each
other.” He added, “I thought these cables were a prime example of a need for a
more open diplomacy.”
Behind the imperialists’ diplomatic skullduggery—conducted at times
with and at times against one another—is their drive to exploit the world’s
workers and oppressed in accord with their distinct interests. The Obama
administration’s vicious retaliation against both Manning and Assange shows that
nothing in this regard has changed since revolutionary leader Leon Trotsky in
November 1917 described secret diplomacy as “a necessary tool for a propertied
minority which is compelled to deceive the majority in order to subject it to
its interests.” Trotsky, co-leader with V.I. Lenin of the 1917 October
Revolution, made this point in a statement he issued as Commissar for Foreign
Affairs of the newly fledged Soviet workers state. Trotsky was announcing the
publication and abrogation of secret treaties hatched by the prior tsarist
regime as well as the bourgeois Provisional Government with their imperialist
allies.
One of the first acts of the Soviet government was to issue a
decree on peace removing Russia from the slaughter of interimperialist World War
I and demanding of all belligerents a “just, democratic” peace without
annexations or indemnities. The Soviet newspaper Izvestia soon began
publication of treaties concluded during the war. Lenin and Trotsky’s Bolshevik
Party was driven by the perspective of world proletarian revolution. Indeed, the
October Revolution was a beacon of liberation for the exploited and oppressed in
the advanced capitalist countries and in the colonial and semicolonial world.
Along with the Soviet government’s renunciation of predatory agreements reached
by prior regimes, the publication of the treaties helped spark waves of struggle
by those under the boot heel of the imperialists, whose dirty deals were now
laid bare.
For proletarian revolutionaries, the materials provided by Manning
are of real value in opening the eyes of the world’s working people to the
systematic violence and lies that prop up capitalist rule. Opponents of
imperialist occupations and war must be won to the understanding that it will
require a series of socialist revolutions to put an end to the capitalist order.
It is to provide the necessary leadership to the proletariat in this struggle
that we are committed to forging Leninist-Trotskyist parties around the
world.
Chris Hedges: we are all Bradley Manning
digg
Originally posted at TruthDig, reporter Chris Hedges recounts his experience sitting in the courtroom while Bradley Manning read his historic statement taking responsibility for releasing documents to WikiLeaks. Hedges says “the war against Bradley Manning is a war against us all.”
By Chris Hedges.
I was in a military courtroom at Fort Meade in Maryland on Thursday as Pfc. Bradley Manning admitted giving classified government documents to WikiLeaks. The hundreds of thousands of leaked documents exposed U.S. war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as government misconduct. A statement that Manning made to the court was a powerful and moving treatise on the importance of placing conscience above personal safety, the necessity of sacrificing careers and liberty for the public good, and the moral imperative of carrying out acts of defiance. Manning will surely pay with many years—perhaps his entire life—in prison. But we too will pay. The war against Bradley Manning is a war against us all.
This trial is not simply the prosecution of a 25-year-old soldier who had the temerity to report to the outside world the indiscriminate slaughter, war crimes, torture and abuse that are carried out by our government and our occupation forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. It is a concerted effort by the security and surveillance state to extinguish what is left of a free press, one that has the constitutional right to expose crimes by those in power. The lonely individuals who take personal risks so that the public can know the truth—the Daniel Ellsbergs, the Ron Ridenhours, the Deep Throats and the Bradley Mannings—are from now on to be charged with “aiding the enemy.” All those within the system who publicly reveal facts that challenge the official narrative will be imprisoned, as was John Kiriakou, the former CIA analyst who for exposing the U.S. government’s use of torture began serving a 30-month prison term the day Manning read his statement. There is a word for states that create these kinds of information vacuums: totalitarian.
The cowardice of The New York Times, El Pais, Der Spiegel and Le Monde, all of which used masses of the material Manning passed on to WikiLeaks and then callously turned their backs on him, is one of journalism’s greatest shames. These publications made little effort to cover Manning’s pretrial hearings, a failure that shows how bankrupt and anemic the commercial press has become. Rescuing what honor of our trade remains has been left to a handful of independent, often marginalized reporters and a small number of other individuals and groups—including Glenn Greenwald, Alexa O’Brien, Nathan Fuller, Kevin Gosztola (who writes for Firedog Lake), the Bradley Manning Support Network, political activist Kevin Zeese and the courtroom sketch artist Clark Stoeckley, along with The Guardian, which also published the WikiLeaks documents. But if our domesticated press institutions believe that by refusing to defend or report on Manning they will escape the wrath of the security and surveillance state, they are stunningly naive. This is a war that is being played for keeps. And the goal of the state is not simply to send Manning away for life. The state is also determined to extradite WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and try him in the United States on espionage or conspiracy charges. The state hopes to cement into place systems of information that will do little more than parrot official propaganda. This is why those with the computer skills to expose the power elite’s secrets, such as Aaron Swartz, who committed suicide in January, and Jeremy Hammond, who is facing up to 30 years in prison for allegedly hacking into the corporate security firm Stratfor, have been or are being ruthlessly hunted down and persecuted. It is why Vice President Joe Biden labeled Assange a “high-tech terrorist,”and it is why the Bradley Manning trial is one of the most important in American history.
The government has decided to press ahead with all 22 charges, including aiding the enemy (Article 104), stealing U.S. government property (18 USC 641), espionage (18 USC 793(e)) and computer crimes (18 USC 1030(a)(1))—the last notwithstanding the fact that Manning did not hack into government computers. The state will also prosecute him on charges of violating lawful general regulations (Article 92). The government has refused to settle for Manning’s admission of guilt on nine lesser offenses. Among these lesser offenses are unauthorized possession and willful communication of the video known as “Collateral Murder”; the Iraq War Logs; the Afghan War Diary; two CIA Red Cell Memos,including one entitled “Afghanistan: Sustaining West European Support for the NATO-Led Mission—Why Counting on Apathy Might Not Be Enough”; Guantanamo files; documents of a so-called Article 15-6 investigation into the May 2009 Garani massacrein Afghanistan’s Farah province; and a Department of Defense counterintelligence report, “WikiLeaks.org—An Online Reference to Foreign Intelligence Services, Insurgents, or Terrorist Groups?” as well as one violation of a lawful general order by wrongfully storing information.
Manning’s leaks, the government insists, are tantamount to support for al-Qaida and international terrorism. The government will attempt to prove this point by bringing into court an anonymous witness who most likely took part in the raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound in Pakistan. This witness will reportedly tell the court that copies of the leaked documents were found on bin Laden’s computer and assisted al-Qaida. This is an utterly spurious form of prosecution—as if any of us have control over the information we provide to the public and how it is used. Manning, for substantial amounts of money, could have sold the documents to governments or groups that are defined as the enemy. Instead he approached The Washington Post and The New York Times. When these newspapers rejected him, he sent the material anonymously to WikiLeaks.
The short, slightly built Manning told the military court Thursday about the emotional conflict he experienced when he matched what he knew about the war with the official version of the war. He said he became deeply disturbed while watching a videotaken from an Apache helicopter as it and another such craft joined in an attack on civilians in Baghdad in 2007. The banter among the crew members, who treated the murder and wounding of the terrified human beings, including children, in the street below as sport, revolted him. Among the dead was Reuters photojournalist Namir Noor-Eldeen and his driver, Saeed Chmagh. Reuters had repeatedly asked to see the video, and the Army had repeatedly refused to release it. [Click hereto see the “Collateral Murder” video.]
“Using Google I searched for the event by its date and general location,” Manning said in reading from a 35-page document that took nearly an hour to deliver. “I found several new accounts involving two Reuters employees who were killed during the aerial weapon team engagement. Another story explained that Reuters had requested a copy of the video under the Freedom of Information Act, or FOIA. Reuters wanted to view the video in order to be able to understand what had happened and to improve their safety practices in combat zones. A spokesperson for Reuters was quoted saying that the video might help avoid the reoccurrence of the tragedy and believed there was compelling need for the immediate release of the video.” [Alexa O’Brien, another journalist who attended Thursday’s proceedings, has provided a full transcript of Manning’s statement: Click here.]
“Despite the submission of the FOIA request, the news account explained that CENTCOM [Central Command] replied to Reuters stating that they could not give a time frame for considering a FOIA request and that the video might no longer exist,” Manning said. “Another story I found written a year later said that even though Reuters was still pursuing their request [the news organization] still did not receive a formal response or written determination in accordance with FOIA. The fact neither CENTCOM or Multi National Forces Iraq, or MNF-I, would not voluntarily release the video troubled me further. It was clear to me that the event happened because the aerial weapons team mistakenly identified Reuters employees as a potential threat and that the people in the bongo truck [van] were merely attempting to assist the wounded. The people in the van were not a threat but merely ‘good Samaritans.’ The most alarming aspect of the video to me, however, was the seemly delightful bloodlust they [the helicopter crew members] appeared to have.
“They dehumanized the individuals they were engaging and seemed to not value human life by referring to them as quote ‘dead bastards’ unquote and congratulating each other on the ability to kill in large numbers,” Manning said, speaking into a court microphone while seated at the defense table. “At one point in the video there is an individual on the ground attempting to crawl to safety. The individual is seriously wounded. Instead of calling for medical attention to the location, one of the aerial weapons team crew members verbally asks for the wounded person to pick up a weapon so that he can have a reason to engage. For me, this seems similar to a child torturing ants with a magnifying glass.
“While saddened by the aerial weapons team crew’s lack of concern about human life, I was disturbed by the response of the discovery of injured children at the scene. In the video, you can see the bongo truck driving up to assist the wounded individual. In response the aerial weapons team crew—as soon as the individuals are a threat, they repeatedly request authorization to fire on the bongo truck and once granted they engage the vehicle at least six times. Shortly after the second engagement, a mechanized infantry unit arrives at the scene. Within minutes, the aerial weapons team crew learns that children were in the van, and despite the injuries the crew exhibits no remorse. Instead, they downplay the significance of their actions, saying quote ‘Well, it’s their fault for bringing their kids into a battle’ unquote.
“The aerial weapons team crew members sound like they lack sympathy for the children or the parents. Later in a particularly disturbing manner, the aerial weapons team verbalizes enjoyment at the sight of one of the ground vehicles driving over a body—or one of the bodies. As I continued my research, I found an article discussing the book ‘The Good Soldiers,’ written by Washington Post writer David Finkel. In Mr. Finkel’s book, he writes about the aerial weapons team attack. As I read an online excerpt in Google Books, I followed Mr. Finkel’s account of the event belonging to the video. I quickly realize that Mr. Finkel was quoting, I feel in verbatim, the audio communications of the aerial weapons team crew. It is clear to me that Mr. Finkel obtained access and a copy of the video during his tenure as an embedded journalist. I was aghast at Mr. Finkel’s portrayal of the incident. Reading his account, one would believe the engagement was somehow justified as ‘payback’ for an earlier attack that led to the death of a soldier. Mr. Finkel ends his account of the engagement by discussing how a soldier finds an individual still alive from the attack. He writes that the soldier finds him and sees him gesture with his two forefingers together, a common method in the Middle East to communicate that they are friendly. However, instead of assisting him, the soldier makes an obscene gesture extending his middle finger. The individual apparently dies shortly thereafter. Reading this, I can only think of how this person was simply trying to help others, and then he quickly finds he needs help as well. To make matters worse, in the last moments of his life he continues to express his friendly gesture—his friendly intent—only to find himself receiving this well known gesture of unfriendliness. For me it’s all a big mess, and I am left wondering what these things mean, and how it all fits together. It burdens me emotionally. …
“I hoped that the public would be as alarmed as me about the conduct of the aerial weapons team crew members. I wanted the American public to know that not everyone in Iraq and Afghanistan are targets that needed to be neutralized, but rather people who were struggling to live in the pressure cooker environment of what we call asymmetric warfare. After the release I was encouraged by the response in the media and general public who observed the aerial weapons team video. As I hoped, others were just as troubled—if not more troubled than me by what they saw.”
Manning provided to the public the most important window into the inner workings of imperial power since the release of the Pentagon Papers. The routine use of torture, the detention of Iraqis who were innocent, the inhuman conditions within our secret detention facilities, the use of State Department officials as spies in the United Nations, the collusion with corporations to keep wages low in developing countries such as Haiti, and specific war crimes such as the missile strike on a house that killed seven childrenin Afghanistan would have remained hidden without Manning.
“I felt that we were risking so much for people that seemed unwilling to cooperate with us, leading to frustration and anger on both sides,” Manning said. “I began to become depressed with the situation that we found ourselves increasingly mired in year after year. The SigActs [significant-acts reports of the Army] documented this in great detail and provide a context of what we were seeing on the ground.
“In attempting to conduct counterterrorism, or CT, and counterinsurgency, COIN, operations we became obsessed with capturing and killing human targets on lists and being suspicious of and avoiding cooperation with our host nation partners, and ignoring the second- and third-order effects of accomplishing short-term goals and missions. I believe that if the general public, especially the American public, had access to the information contained within the CIDNE-I and CIDNE-A tables [a reference to military information] this could spark a domestic debate on the role of the military and our foreign policy in general as it related to Iraq and Afghanistan.
“I also believed the detailed analysis of the data over a long period of time by different sectors of society might cause society to re-evaluate the need or even the desire to engage in counterterrorism and counterinsurgency operations that ignore the complex dynamics of the people living in the affected environment every day.”
It is certain that with this “naked” plea Manning will serve perhaps as much as 20 years in prison. The judge, Col. Denise Lind, who will determine Manning’s sentence, warned him that the government could use his admissions to build a case for the more serious charges. Manning faces 90 years if he is convicted on the greater charge of espionage, and he faces life if convicted of aiding the enemy. Military prosecutors have made it clear they are out for blood. They said they will call 141 witnesses, including 15 who will charge that Manning caused harm to national interests; 33 witnesses, the government claims, will discuss information so sensitive or secret that it will require closed court sessions. Four witnesses—including, it appears, a Navy SEAL involved in the bin Laden raid—will give testimony anonymously. Army Maj. Ashden Fein, the lead prosecution attorney, has told the court that the government witnesses will discuss issues such as “injury and death to individuals” that resulted from the WikiLeaks disclosures, as well as how the “capability of the enemy increased in certain countries.” The government is preventingManning’s defense team from interviewing some of the witnesses before the trial.
When he was secretary of defense, Robert Gates saida Defense Department review determined that the publication of the Iraq War Logs and the Afghan War Diary had “not revealed any sensitive intelligence sources and methods.” In the trial, however, the government must prove only that the “disclosure could be potentially damaging to the United States” and need only provide “independent proof of at least potential harm to the national security” beyond mere security classification, writes law professor Geoffrey Stone.
The government reviews determined that the release of Department of State “diplomatic cables caused only limited damageto U.S. interests abroad despite the Obama administration’s public statements to the contrary,” according to Reuters. “We were told the impact [of WikiLeaks revelations] was embarrassing but not damaging,” a congressional official, briefed by the State Department, told Reuters. The “Obama administration felt compelled to say publicly that the revelations had seriously damaged American interests in order to bolster legal efforts to shut down the WikiLeaks website and bring charges against the leakers,” the official told the news outlet. Government prosecutors, strengthening their case further, have succeeded in blocking Manning’s lawyers from presenting evidence about the lack of real damage caused to U.S. interests by the leaks.
Manning has done what anyone with a conscience should have done. In the courtroom he exhibited—especially given the prolonged abuse he suffered during his thousand days inside the military prison system—poise, intelligence and dignity. He appealed to the best within us. And this is why the government fears him. America still produces heroes, some in uniform. But now we lock them up.
The court has not yet issued an official text of Bradley Manning’s statement. Thanks to Alexa O’Brien for providing a transcript.

Among the dead was Reuters photojournalist Namir Noor-Eldeen and his driver, Saeed Chmagh. Reuters had repeatedly asked to see the video, and the Army had repeatedly refused to release it. [Click hereto see the “Collateral Murder” video.]
“Using Google I searched for the event by its date and general location,” Manning said in reading from a 35-page document that took nearly an hour to deliver. “I found several new accounts involving two Reuters employees who were killed during the aerial weapon team engagement. Another story explained that Reuters had requested a copy of the video under the Freedom of Information Act, or FOIA. Reuters wanted to view the video in order to be able to understand what had happened and to improve their safety practices in combat zones. A spokesperson for Reuters was quoted saying that the video might help avoid the reoccurrence of the tragedy and believed there was compelling need for the immediate release of the video.” [Alexa O’Brien, another journalist who attended Thursday’s proceedings, has provided a full transcript of Manning’s statement: Click here.]
“Despite the submission of the FOIA request, the news account explained that CENTCOM [Central Command] replied to Reuters stating that they could not give a time frame for considering a FOIA request and that the video might no longer exist,” Manning said. “Another story I found written a year later said that even though Reuters was still pursuing their request [the news organization] still did not receive a formal response or written determination in accordance with FOIA. The fact neither CENTCOM or Multi National Forces Iraq, or MNF-I, would not voluntarily release the video troubled me further. It was clear to me that the event happened because the aerial weapons team mistakenly identified Reuters employees as a potential threat and that the people in the bongo truck [van] were merely attempting to assist the wounded. The people in the van were not a threat but merely ‘good Samaritans.’ The most alarming aspect of the video to me, however, was the seemly delightful bloodlust they [the helicopter crew members] appeared to have.
“They dehumanized the individuals they were engaging and seemed to not value human life by referring to them as quote ‘dead bastards’ unquote and congratulating each other on the ability to kill in large numbers,” Manning said, speaking into a court microphone while seated at the defense table. “At one point in the video there is an individual on the ground attempting to crawl to safety. The individual is seriously wounded. Instead of calling for medical attention to the location, one of the aerial weapons team crew members verbally asks for the wounded person to pick up a weapon so that he can have a reason to engage. For me, this seems similar to a child torturing ants with a magnifying glass.
“While saddened by the aerial weapons team crew’s lack of concern about human life, I was disturbed by the response of the discovery of injured children at the scene. In the video, you can see the bongo truck driving up to assist the wounded individual. In response the aerial weapons team crew—as soon as the individuals are a threat, they repeatedly request authorization to fire on the bongo truck and once granted they engage the vehicle at least six times. Shortly after the second engagement, a mechanized infantry unit arrives at the scene. Within minutes, the aerial weapons team crew learns that children were in the van, and despite the injuries the crew exhibits no remorse. Instead, they downplay the significance of their actions, saying quote ‘Well, it’s their fault for bringing their kids into a battle’ unquote.
“The aerial weapons team crew members sound like they lack sympathy for the children or the parents. Later in a particularly disturbing manner, the aerial weapons team verbalizes enjoyment at the sight of one of the ground vehicles driving over a body—or one of the bodies. As I continued my research, I found an article discussing the book ‘The Good Soldiers,’ written by Washington Post writer David Finkel. In Mr. Finkel’s book, he writes about the aerial weapons team attack. As I read an online excerpt in Google Books, I followed Mr. Finkel’s account of the event belonging to the video. I quickly realize that Mr. Finkel was quoting, I feel in verbatim, the audio communications of the aerial weapons team crew. It is clear to me that Mr. Finkel obtained access and a copy of the video during his tenure as an embedded journalist. I was aghast at Mr. Finkel’s portrayal of the incident. Reading his account, one would believe the engagement was somehow justified as ‘payback’ for an earlier attack that led to the death of a soldier. Mr. Finkel ends his account of the engagement by discussing how a soldier finds an individual still alive from the attack. He writes that the soldier finds him and sees him gesture with his two forefingers together, a common method in the Middle East to communicate that they are friendly. However, instead of assisting him, the soldier makes an obscene gesture extending his middle finger. The individual apparently dies shortly thereafter. Reading this, I can only think of how this person was simply trying to help others, and then he quickly finds he needs help as well. To make matters worse, in the last moments of his life he continues to express his friendly gesture—his friendly intent—only to find himself receiving this well known gesture of unfriendliness. For me it’s all a big mess, and I am left wondering what these things mean, and how it all fits together. It burdens me emotionally. …
“I hoped that the public would be as alarmed as me about the conduct of the aerial weapons team crew members. I wanted the American public to know that not everyone in Iraq and Afghanistan are targets that needed to be neutralized, but rather people who were struggling to live in the pressure cooker environment of what we call asymmetric warfare. After the release I was encouraged by the response in the media and general public who observed the aerial weapons team video. As I hoped, others were just as troubled—if not more troubled than me by what they saw.”
Manning provided to the public the most important window into the inner workings of imperial power since the release of the Pentagon Papers. The routine use of torture, the detention of Iraqis who were innocent, the inhuman conditions within our secret detention facilities, the use of State Department officials as spies in the United Nations, the collusion with corporations to keep wages low in developing countries such as Haiti, and specific war crimes such as the missile strike on a house that killed seven childrenin Afghanistan would have remained hidden without Manning.
“I felt that we were risking so much for people that seemed unwilling to cooperate with us, leading to frustration and anger on both sides,” Manning said. “I began to become depressed with the situation that we found ourselves increasingly mired in year after year. The SigActs [significant-acts reports of the Army] documented this in great detail and provide a context of what we were seeing on the ground.
“In attempting to conduct counterterrorism, or CT, and counterinsurgency, COIN, operations we became obsessed with capturing and killing human targets on lists and being suspicious of and avoiding cooperation with our host nation partners, and ignoring the second- and third-order effects of accomplishing short-term goals and missions. I believe that if the general public, especially the American public, had access to the information contained within the CIDNE-I and CIDNE-A tables [a reference to military information] this could spark a domestic debate on the role of the military and our foreign policy in general as it related to Iraq and Afghanistan.
“I also believed the detailed analysis of the data over a long period of time by different sectors of society might cause society to re-evaluate the need or even the desire to engage in counterterrorism and counterinsurgency operations that ignore the complex dynamics of the people living in the affected environment every day.”
It is certain that with this “naked” plea Manning will serve perhaps as much as 20 years in prison. The judge, Col. Denise Lind, who will determine Manning’s sentence, warned him that the government could use his admissions to build a case for the more serious charges. Manning faces 90 years if he is convicted on the greater charge of espionage, and he faces life if convicted of aiding the enemy. Military prosecutors have made it clear they are out for blood. They said they will call 141 witnesses, including 15 who will charge that Manning caused harm to national interests; 33 witnesses, the government claims, will discuss information so sensitive or secret that it will require closed court sessions. Four witnesses—including, it appears, a Navy SEAL involved in the bin Laden raid—will give testimony anonymously. Army Maj. Ashden Fein, the lead prosecution attorney, has told the court that the government witnesses will discuss issues such as “injury and death to individuals” that resulted from the WikiLeaks disclosures, as well as how the “capability of the enemy increased in certain countries.” The government is preventingManning’s defense team from interviewing some of the witnesses before the trial.
When he was secretary of defense, Robert Gates saida Defense Department review determined that the publication of the Iraq War Logs and the Afghan War Diary had “not revealed any sensitive intelligence sources and methods.” In the trial, however, the government must prove only that the “disclosure could be potentially damaging to the United States” and need only provide “independent proof of at least potential harm to the national security” beyond mere security classification, writes law professor Geoffrey Stone.
The government reviews determined that the release of Department of State “diplomatic cables caused only limited damageto U.S. interests abroad despite the Obama administration’s public statements to the contrary,” according to Reuters. “We were told the impact [of WikiLeaks revelations] was embarrassing but not damaging,” a congressional official, briefed by the State Department, told Reuters. The “Obama administration felt compelled to say publicly that the revelations had seriously damaged American interests in order to bolster legal efforts to shut down the WikiLeaks website and bring charges against the leakers,” the official told the news outlet. Government prosecutors, strengthening their case further, have succeeded in blocking Manning’s lawyers from presenting evidence about the lack of real damage caused to U.S. interests by the leaks.
Manning has done what anyone with a conscience should have done. In the courtroom he exhibited—especially given the prolonged abuse he suffered during his thousand days inside the military prison system—poise, intelligence and dignity. He appealed to the best within us. And this is why the government fears him. America still produces heroes, some in uniform. But now we lock them up.
The court has not yet issued an official text of Bradley Manning’s statement. Thanks to Alexa O’Brien for providing a transcript.
Help organize a bus to Ft. Meade for June 1st! Protest for Army WikiLeaks whistle-blower Bradley Manning!
June 1st will mark the beginning of Bradley Manning’s fourth year in prison and the start of his trial. The June 1st Ft. Meade protest for Bradley Manning, co-sponsored by Veterans for Peace and the Bradley Manning Support Network, will be the largest action of our campaign! 
We are calling for people everywhere to stand up for the Army whistle-blower who risked everything to give the public real facts about our government’s wars in the middle east and foreign policy worldwide. We’ll charter buses from both neighboring Washington D.C. and Baltimore, but we need activists in other cities to organize buses of their own. We can’t book buses, manage ticket sales or arrange housing for supporters from every city that wishes to attend. However, we will provide grants to help:
You can find information on chartering buses on this website, though some local companies may be willing to offer better deals to non-profit causes. There are a number of online crowdfunding websites which could help in selling tickets, but most of them charge a small fee for their services. Asking local organizations to co-sponsor the bus may be a helpful option for funding the bus and/or selling tickets. (Here are a few organizations you can ask.)
Once a commitment has been made to booking a vehicle and a driver, we’ll do what we can to promote the details to other Bradley Manning supporters in your area so they’ll be able to join your “Bus for Bradley.” Please contact emma@bradleymanning.org with additional questions or if you intend to organize a group to come join us in June.
Thank you for supporting Bradley Manning!

June 1: Rally for Bradley Manning at Fort Meade
By exposing the truth, Bradley Manning helped end a war based on lies. Join us June 1, 2013 to rally in support of Bradley Manning at Fort Meade.
By Nathan Fuller, Bradley Manning Support Network. March 21, 2013.
This week, pundits across the political spectrum are searching for meaning in the tenth anniversary of the United States’ invasion of Iraq. The decade-long campaign of bombings and occupation left hundreds of thousands of Iraqis dead and millions wounded, displaced, or scarred. Justified with lies about biological and chemical weapons that never existed, the senseless war cost U.S. tax-payers more than 3 trillion dollars, and far more in blood and shame. Tens of thousands of US soldiers were wounded or killed, and to this day, $490 billion is owed to veterans.
Many credit President Obama with the decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq, and almost none mention the fact that it was cables provided by Bradley Manning and published by WikiLeaks that made Obama’s attempt to keep troops there past the 2011 deadline impossible. As CNN reported in October of that year,
By revealing the hidden realities of the Iraq War, Pfc. Bradley Manning achieved his noble goal of sparking domestic debate, and he helped begin the end of an aggressive, violent, and counterproductive war.
Here are a few of WikiLeaks’ revelations about the U.S war in Iraq:
We’re calling on supporters to descend in droves to Ft. Meade, MD, on June 1, 2013. President Obama and Gen. Martin Dempsey have already deemed Bradley guilty, pressuring Judge Denise Lind to follow suit, making it impossible for Bradley to receive a fair trial. The military court has failed to repudiate Bradley’s unlawful torture and the violation of his right to a speedy trial. It has significantly hindered the defense’s ability to discuss both Bradley’s motive to expose wrongdoing and the fact that no harm has come from WikiLeaks’ publications. So we must support Bradley both inside and outside the courtroom. We must express our outrage at the government’s attempts to send this generation’s Daniel Ellsberg to jail for life. Bradley Manning put his life and liberty on the line to inform his fellow Americans about a disturbing war’s darkest secrets, and on June 1, we must return the favor.
Learn more about organizing a van or bus to Ft. Meade — grants are available.
If you can’t make it to Fort Meade, organize a solidarity event in your own community.

 A still from the Collateral Murder video which exposed the murder of two Reuters journalists |
Many credit President Obama with the decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq, and almost none mention the fact that it was cables provided by Bradley Manning and published by WikiLeaks that made Obama’s attempt to keep troops there past the 2011 deadline impossible. As CNN reported in October of that year,
[Iraq and U.S.] negotiations were strained following WikiLeaks’ release of a diplomatic cable that alleged Iraqi civilians, including children, were killed in a 2006 raid by American troops rather than in an airstrike as the U.S. military initially reported.Obama had wanted to keep troops beyond President Bush’s 2011 deadline, but required the condition that all U.S. soldiers be guaranteed legal immunity for their actions. Upon reading the WikiLeaks-released cables, the Iraqi government refused.
By revealing the hidden realities of the Iraq War, Pfc. Bradley Manning achieved his noble goal of sparking domestic debate, and he helped begin the end of an aggressive, violent, and counterproductive war.
Here are a few of WikiLeaks’ revelations about the U.S war in Iraq:
- 15,000 more Iraqi civilians had been killed than were reported in any other count
- U.S. soldiers were formally commanded not to investigate reports of torture committed by the Iraqi Federal Police with whom they cooperated
- The American occupation of Iraq has failed to stabilize the widespread violence and corruption that has escalated following the destruction of Iraq’s infrastructure
We’re calling on supporters to descend in droves to Ft. Meade, MD, on June 1, 2013. President Obama and Gen. Martin Dempsey have already deemed Bradley guilty, pressuring Judge Denise Lind to follow suit, making it impossible for Bradley to receive a fair trial.

Daniel Ellsberg invites you to Birgitta Jonsdottir’s event to support Bradley
Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg
On April 3rd, Icelandic Parliamentarian, activist WikiLeaks contributor and “poetician” Birgitta Jonsdottir is making her first visit to the United States since the release of the “Collateral Murder” video. This video is one of the most graphic and devastating pieces of journalism from the war in Iraq. Bradley Manning, who has now been in jail for over 1000 days without trial, leaked this video to raise awareness.
On Friday April 5th we invite you to an evening of art and discussion to sow the seeds of resistance against illegal imperialist wars, and to discuss the present state of free speech and freedom of the press. Your presence at Theaterlab, 357 West 36th St, 3rd Fl at 7pm would send a clear signal that we the people value truth and stand against the unbelievable lack of ethics and accountability this, and other leaks, consistently reveal.
Birgitta and comrades will be speaking in order to raise awareness about Bradley and raise funds for his defense. Along with helping Bradley we would like to help the families in Iraq effected by this war crime, and Ethan McCord the soldier on the scene in the video who helped the injured children – he now has severe PTSD. In interest of sparking discussion and more shifts in awareness levels printed stills from the video will be on exhibit for the very first time.
Please come stand with Birgitta Jonsdottir and support hero Bradley Manning and the ethics and values he so clearly embodies.
Icelandic MP Birgitta Jónsdóttir
Join the Facebook event page here!
Schedule of other events for Birgitta’s upcoming visit:

In Boston, protesters, military veterans urge release of Bradley Manning on 1000th day in detention
Mon, 02/25/2013 - 14:55
Bradley Manning, the army private who is facing military charges for his alleged leaking of classified documents to Wikileaks, has now been in detention for more than 1,000 days. During much of that time, he was held in solitary confinement and faced other restrictions. Saturday February 23, marked the 1000th day of Manning’s detention and rallies were held around the country to call for his release.
