A few days ago, I pleaded for you to help out the poor environmental idiots that now owe over $8,000 to the City of Chicago. Hopefully, after wiping away those tears, you emptied out your wallets. I have another cause for you.
Private First Class Bradley Manning is now asking for your help. Who is Pfc Manning? Well, he's the stooge that reportedly helped leak classified documents to Wikileaks. The tragedy of these leaks and the publication of the classified documents is that some of them clearly identify Afghan citizens who have been helping the US defeat the Taliban. In some cases, the documents identify the person's name, their home and their family. Naturally, these poor souls are now living in fear for their lives. The despicable Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks will now have blood on his hands.
Also having blood on their hands are the supporters of Wikileaks. In an interview earlier this year, Julian Assange confirms that organizations such as the Los Angeles Times, the AP and the National Newspaper Association has provided support to Wikileaks in the form of legal help. Perhaps not surprising then, the Los Angeles Times penned a glowing article defending the Wikileaks document dump and said "So What?"
I have a message for those that want to send money to Pfc Manning's legal defense. First off, go to Afghanistan and pay for the funerals of all the informants that will no doubt be murdered by the Taliban for offering their support to the US. Then, pay for the support of their families. After that, we can talk about helping out poor little Mr. Manning.
As for Mr. Manning, I hope someone in the Army has the testicular fortitude to bring up treason charges.
