Hearing for US soldier in WikiLeaks centers on prison treatment
Saturday s proceedings, on the fifth day of the hearing, focused on the events of January 18, 2011, when Manning broke down and began crying after falling while guards were removing his shackles in an exercise room. Defense attorneys allege that Manning became especially distraught that day because guards were bullying him. Manning himself testified earlier that his guards seemed angry on the morning the incident occurred, making him nervous. One of Manning s guards at the time, former Marine Corps Lance Corporal Jonathan Cline, acknowledged in his testimony that military personnel at Quantico had been irritated by a pro-Manning protest a day before the incident in the exercise room. The protest had snarled traffic around Quantico.

The Abuse of Private Manning
Pfc. Bradley Manning, who has been imprisoned for nine months on charges of handing government files to WikiLeaks, has not even been tried let alone convicted. Yet the military has been treating him abusively, in a way that conjures creepy memories of how the Bush administration used to treat terror suspects.

Abandoning Pvt. Manning
Why Bradley Manning, this former intelligence clerk without terrorist connections or secrets to hide should be treated with a cruelty that no dog pound would tolerate remains a mystery. But that nastiness may be lucky, in a bizarre way, because what the ACLU primly calls "the gratuitously harsh" nature of his captivity has finally put Pvt. Manning in the news.

Obama vs. Whistle-Blowers: Taking a Hard Line on Leaks
Army Private First Class Bradley Manning sleeps under tear-proof blankets. Guards check on him every five minutes; if his face isn't visible, they wake him to make sure he's O.K. And every night that he spends at the Marine brig in Quantico, Va., for allegedly providing WikiLeaks with hundreds of thousands of classified government documents, he is stripped naked, ostensibly for his own safety.

Pfc. Bradley Manning Soldier’s inhumane imprisonment in WikiLeaks case
Pfc. Bradley Manning, the 23-year-old Army intelligence analyst suspected of providing documents to WikiLeaks, can't reasonably complain that the military has him in custody. But the conditions under which he is being held at the Marine detention center at Quantico, Va., are so harsh as to suggest he is being punished for conduct of which he hasn't been convicted
