finally after a couple of years bradley manning was given a chance to speak
publicly out he was seen by humans and he saw the sun anthony testified
recently there were i think six hours of intense questions to him
and he described a number of things that happened out while he was it was was
lockdown and so i i want yala europeans some of the details given here
are shocking in the way that he was treated and when you actually think
about
what he did and what we found out from the leaks that he was responsible for
it seems like the most disproportionate
use of of
i guess that the prison system that's that's possible
little example don't start with that i was so shocked that
he wasn't allowed to just first vote is for let is in view of guards there just
watching him on the toilet
he doesn't have to look at work
yesterday march up to the dates and amounts
with corporal detainee many request for the paper
everybody seems silly but that's that's the level of of what we're dealing with
all it's a it's a it's a picture you can buy them and then you can continue but
it got to humiliation as part of the process outside
that's a very
carefully thought out servers of humiliations and that's just one of them
what will work she seemed in all of this was he wasn't orwellian we're we're
they would say well
uh... work which you we think you're suicidal and to be fair many when he was
first put in a cage in kuwait
and there's no air conditioning interest you know and even his cajun quantic it
was six foot by eight-foot think about that six foot by eight points
andy's and jennifer twenty three hours a day twenty three hours a day
there's no light that goes into it at all in fact he would have to
he would stick his and had are onto the door
because he could see a review what he said was quarter reflection
on reflection
that kind of sold outside right so he wouldn't see that's a good to see a
little bit all-white
from the reflection of the reflection
he's never twenty-three hours when they let him out
they shackle his hands and
envy
and a lot of walk around like that for twenty minutes a day that's all he had
this is all this before he was ever charged yet
he's suppose the state quantico for only ninety days of maximum
uses them for trouble that i'm not okay
that you suppose so
going trial by a hundred and twenty days
that is the military rule
they kept him for over nine hundred days before the charge
okay
nearly a thousand days so in the made some all this
as they do this harsh treatment
based say that what we have to because we figure suicidal so we have to watch
at all times we can't let you sleep at night it would be reverses day by the
way
what is this how would this help but not committee said that i have to light on
his eyes and wouldn't let him cover his face for the blankets leonardo like the
size of genocide n_f_l_ part of the right there's no follow protocol but you
to try to drive someone crazy psychological torture
they would probably like that kind of talk and i
analg shining through space
and they liked what we don't want you to commits suicide
watch right and soviet after he started doing
things that they would let exercise exercise
is the legal became under these circumstances
so he was like cannot be part of the past twenty three hours a day
so he started doing fake exercises like
lifting weights that are out there cancer and dancing because this is not
for bed okay
as they are not a size and that's the right
that i can see that he's crazy
he's basing without any music he's lifting weights that are out there so we
gotta keep one for the suicide watch and keep them in these inhumane conditions
and by the way the u_n_ has already said that this was inhumane degrading
against the conventions on orchard
okay so he goes through all this and then they use it to justified against
them
and he says look at one point he finally compliance to one would guards who seems
like he's a little bit more humid somebody but what about her by some i
mean
i guess this
you go i can use my underwear in the flip-flops or something but i i don't
see i don't wanna hurt myself when i got to stop this
estate once said with aidid
you see that he said is that i heard some was underwear so they make and
outstrip down naked every single night
asleep nekkid
for fear of
etc his safety
like they were so concerned about its safety
and they think they turn apart is all bad every night
there has not been a second where he was not being watched any wasn't allowed
outside prison no items are you coming in there during the day
but this or record of that
of another thing he did out of the day i think that's passed the time was he
would just make faces in america's the only thing they had
so they thought he was going crazy because he's making faces
but that the example you gave of what made the family leading up to twenty
minutes or so a day
they shackle him so he has to be held up as he walked
it's a ridicule situation some annex rickles comparisons
that is harsher treatment
then hope your bargain dot insightful and he was a killer cyber terrace
it's harshad then magneto gotten the x-men movies and he could move metal
with his head
don't like the actually had military experts testify in the real world
in this trial say is actually horcher then what people get at guantanamo
wednesday at one time or looks like mister rogers' neighborhood compared
with this guy has gone through and by the way
what i've been talking about about what his case whenever
but are i do think it's fair to abide with the way american citizens are
treated
the idea that you could subject this guy too
this sort of treatment is insane and and your point right off you
saw this out this account and it was some muscle um
uh... present where there were two a m hostages
you don't want to see the some possible the way the trip
now this is not this is this has got a space military trade one of its own this
way artist and one of its own that will be tried
and at that and will likely shopper announced debate at the hands of trial
but you don't expect this this is really unconscionable is a concern
ever heard of just because
in a way we could all full but i'm too especially on the patriot act
when you can just go buddy buddy up and pretty much
begin to treat them in ways that aren't normally for mainstream prism like white
sheet even if you don't care about brownie mary issue at least care about
this country and in what we do to our citizens and
and even if you think it's not going to happen even by the way so i go i don't
do stuff like that
but what we do i mean use
people on death row and i treated like this he it's why they have to chaperone
would see something that was going to snap like hannibal lecter and recovered
heeded ac kr
ease alleged to have done a crime were doing something on a computer there are
no computers nearby felt like he's gonna jump onto a computer and then something
dot the point is to torturing it said yes torment him yes won the points by
the way should be clear
is so that he would turn on tune assigns
at which you never did and say oh besides was part of it and that's what
they wanted to get out of a and they never got out of the basic so endowed
people will say and i said this in the beginning and it's true they said look
what he did if it is true that is is a legal right and you can in according to
military rules obviously you can i just
week people the leak things at your discretion at your own judgment i get
that
but he has suffered enough and by the way also according to alter rules if you
care about military rules
if you have this kind of
treatment
before your charge
this and what they call degrading inhumane inhumane treatment
which says united nations
special you know council on portrait has already said is degrading inhumane
treatment
and of course the departure but will have to confirm that
but if he does confirm that which is obvious right
that he is supposed to be let go
so that is military rule as well
and so i'd think he has served more than enough time
anything that he thought he was guilty alright how much are you gonna talk to
the guy
point delivered it's under free
