Bradley Manning | Quantico | Latest News

Posted on March 28, 2011 by Rio

I just received an email from Courage to Resist; part of it says:

“It’s beyond ironic that leaked US State Department cables have contributed to revolution and revolt against dictatorships across the Middle East and North Africa, yet Bradley Manning is threatened with execution—or at least life in prison—for being the source.”

Actually, I don’t think is ironic; I don’t think our corporate dictatorship wants to topple other dictators. What they want is control of those countries through whoever is in power, and now their control is in jeopardy. What do you think?

Bradley: In prison for denouncing war crimes

Just received this email from “Courage to Resist.” Join them and support Bradley: www.couragetoresist.org

“In response to protest, PayPal reinstates our service!

paypalOn Thursday morning, Feb. 24th, Courage to Resist and the Bradley Manning Support Network released a statement “PayPal Cuts Service to Courage to Resist, Bradley Manning Effort”. We did so only after nearly a month of attempting to resolve the impasse with senior PayPal staff.

Hundreds of our supporters responded immediately by contacting PayPal, dozens of major websites highlighted PayPal’s action against us, and over 10,000 people signed an online petition promoted by Firedoglake–all within six hours! By Thursday evening, PayPal relented. There is no doubt whatsoever that this small victory was a direct result of folks like you raising your voice on our behalf. Thank you!

The PayPal issue didn’t affect the primary way we receive donations, and the funds frozen by PayPal were less than $1,000, but we simply couldn’t allow this to happen without making a ruckus.”
