I forgot. I thought you raised the issue of Bradley Manning's treatment,
but I didn't instantly glean it was all about you.

I don't know what the Hindu Kush has to do with being in detention during
a trial.

Were you kidnapped? You're stringing words together without saying
anything actually resembling a story, let alone one comparable to Manning.
btw, it appears that the guy is guilty as hell, but his true crime was
embarassing the government, especially those diplomatic cables that no one
looked terribly diplomatic in.
Therefore his period of pre-trial confinement just had to be locked in his
cell, alone, with nothing to do and no one to speak to. No, the government
wasn't trying to screw with him before trial or begin his punishment before
conviction and sentence.
I'm sure there's an innocent prison-management reason as to why he can't
have a pillow. Perhaps his cell is extremely brightly lit and denying him
that pillow forces him to face those ceiling lights so he can't sleep.
But you're claiming he's been coddled and kept comfortable? You're an idiot.

It's Usenet. No one ever shuts the fuck up.
