FORT LEAVENWORTH, Kansas - The commander of a Kansas military prison said Army Pfc. Bradley Manning has passed his initial physical and psychiatric evaluation and will be housed with other medium-security pre-trial inmates.

Lt. Col. Dawn Hilton, who runs the prison at Fort Leavenworth in Kansas, said Thursday that Manning would be placed in his new cell on Friday.

Prison officials believe Manning is not a suicide risk. Hilton said inmates who are considered suicide risks would not be placed in the general population.

Army lets media tour WikiLeaks suspect's prison

Manning was transferred to the prison last week from the Marine Corps brig in Quantico, Virginia

Manning's attorney has complained of his client's treatment there. He was held in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day, stripped naked each night and given a suicide-proof smock in which to sleep.

This is one of the things about human nature that we all have in us but we need to do recognize and change. This poor bastud is going to be tortured by our system when he was doing what he thought was the moral thing to do. And there is still diffence of opinion as to whether he deserves punishment at all much less torture. There are been other cases in our history that are very similar to this and there wasn't this kind of human barbarism that happened. He is supposed to be innocent until proven guilty anyway also. He has been and will be tortured more and he hasn't even gone to trial. It's just that human nature is that it makes us feel good to bully. I didn't use to be a bully but in the US you're a fool if you're not a bully and a DA if you have morals and values. I'm a bullying, bastud, capitalist pig now and forever due to everything about what is going on with our country. The corporate greed, politicians owned by the ultra rich. And I really use to be a nice fellow. Now, I don't give a D about you or your's, I care about my money accounts. The sad thing is that I'm going to make a fortune since I've changed into such a son o' a botch!!! Good night.

Ha ha ha! We've got this kid locked up like Charlie Manson while the ATF is shafting the dogsh*t outta the good ol' USA for two years straight, runnin' guns directly into Mexico... and throwin' it right in everybody's face. That kid may be screwed up, but he ain't any worse than the D.C. A-holes in charge. In fact, I'd be willin' to bet his actions were minor-league in comparison to the actions of many of those lying screwballs.

What a joke this country has become. I gave twenty years of my life to defend this nation so the current flock of political morons could run it right down the toilet.

Pathetic is a poor choice of an adjective for this situation, but it's all I've got right now. I gotta go barf.

In the last 2 months I've read about 30 stories in MSNBC, CBS, and CNN (AP, Reuters) where they reported information from Government/Military "confidential source". This is EXACTLY what Bradley "HERO" Manning did. On these 30 stories, why doesn't the Military/AG throw the Media CEOs in prison and cut all financial transactions to these Media corporations?

He's a traitor. He wanted attention. Now he'll get some.

He is a traitor, and I hope that he gets what he deserves. Traitors are some of the worst there are. Nobody told him to enlist, and if he didn't like it, then get the heck out, don't sell out your country. In other countries, you don't have the option of enlisting, and he would have already been executed for treason on the spot. SSgt USAF Ret.

coucou,
il faut ?sp?rer que Bradley Manning, aura un proc?s juste,
?sperer surtout, que Manning ne vas pas endosser seul la responsabilit? des fuites , autrement dit, qu'il ne paiera pas pour les autres

..........
Hopefully Bradley Manning, will have a fair trial
hope above all that Manning does not go endorse sole responsibility of leaks, other words, it will not pay for other
"au revoir"

They hold him at Leavenworth while pedophiles and sex offenders walk free. Pitiful.

[consh8theusa]

How long before he demands solitary because he doesn't feel safe from the other inmates?
