The Obama Administration is violating the Geneva Conventions again, in its harsh and cruel treatment of Bradley Manning, the openly gay solider and alleged source of the Wikileaks website's massive document dump. Wikileaks founder, Julian Assange, embarrassed President Obama and Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, as the leaks contained blatant acts of criminal wrongdoing.

The administration's abuse of a prisoner, who was held for months without being charged, in criminal violation of the U.S. Constitution, constitutes torture. It proves to the nation and the world, the Obama Administration has become corrupt and very capable of the criminal misconduct contained in the leaked items.  

It was revealed today, Manning, is being forced to sleep in the nude on a prison cell mattress placed on the floor. His bed has no sheets, blankets or pillows in the dirty cell, which is subject to cold and heat from the changing weather climate, in apart of America that experienced record snow fall this year. I wouldn't treat a dog that way, let alone a human being.

The Obama Administration has attempted to justify this misconduct, stating it was for Manning's own good, but to people that know better, regarding the dirty tactics used by government officials, will recognize it as a method of torture. They are trying to break this young man. It first begins with subtle abuses, then steadily they increase the human rights violations. Other abuses will include tainted food, spiked medication, sleep deprivation, threats and "accidental" physical injury.

Manning remains in solitary confinement, with no real contact with the outside world, which is a proven method of psychological torture. Third world dictators have used all the aforementioned abusive techniques on people they wish to destroy mentally, before or while they inflict physical acts of torture. Disgusting!

It is appalling and astonishing to think, Manning is eligible for the death penalty of all things, over leaked documents. He did not betray America. Bush did. Former President, George W. Bush, is the one that should be on trial for the deaths of thousands of soldiers and over a million civilians, due to his deliberate lies. He is the real criminal. People have been found guilty and subject to life sentences for far less crimes than Bush committed against innocent people.
