Obama Heckled By Manning Supporter

Code Pink heckled President Barack Obama with a plea to free "Free Bradley Manning." Manning now goes by the female first name of Chelsea . Unsurprisingly, the media has given little coverage of the Code Pink protest.

I'm glad the Young Turks are covering the Code Pink protest and Manning story. The problem is they do their usual uninformed job. What evidence does Michael Shure have that President Barack Obama secretly sympathizes but can't pardon him because he is president. Nice theory but no evidence. If anything, Obama's aggressiveness pursuing legal charges against former CIA operative John Kiriakou and Edward Snowden proof otherwise.

I Am Bradley Manning

Here is the trailer for the website I Am Bradley Manning. The website is to raise awareness for Manning's legal troubles. Manning gave diplomatic communications to Wikileaks. Manning became troubled by the U.S. government supporting death squads and torture in Iraq. Manning went to his superiors and told to keep his mouth shut.
