Apparently, the main point now is the veracity of the link itself.
If it is sensationalizing and basically falsifying the treatment of PFC Manning how can we trust what it says about the "peaceful" war vet incident ?

How about this link. Make no mistake, we are heading toward a police state.
The article starts off with... "US citizens of all political persuasions are still reeling from images of unparallelled police brutality in a coordinated crackdown against peaceful OWS protesters in cities across the nation this past week."
Lets stop right there. First of all, I am not "reeling". Nobody I know is "reeling".
Secondly, it says "peaceful OWS protesters". Thats bull crap. You know it and I know it. They are not peaceful.
And its not a few "black ningas" running around agitating things. There have been HUNDREDS acts of violence and disruption caused by these idiots.
Murder, rapes, vandalisim, assaults, blocking people from going to work, children from going to school, small business owners from making a living, law abiding citizens unable travel freely, etc,etc,etc.
They are nothing more than anarchist.
The Police are here to keep order. To protect law abiding citizens.People rioting in the street need to be pepper sprayed, beat down, hauled off to jail.
The cops are doing their JOBS. What we pay them For !

They concluded:
The conditions under which PFC Manning is held appear to breach the USA’s obligations under
international standards and treaties, including Article 10 of the International Covenant on Civil and
Political Rights (ICCPR) which the USA ratified in 1992 and which states that “all persons deprived of
their liberty shall be treated with humanity and with respect for the inherent dignity of the human
person”. The UN Human Rights Committee, the ICCPR monitoring body, has noted in its General
Comment on Article 10 that persons deprived of their liberty may not be “subjected to any hardship or
constraint other than that resulting from the deprivation of liberty; respect for the dignity of such
persons must be guaranteed under the same conditions as for that of free persons …”.

This is kinda interesting: a letter from a lobbying firm to the American Bankers Association proposing a campaign to essentially smear OWS in order to help Republicans get elected to further the goals of the financial elite. Proposed cost: $850,000 to start. http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/i/msnbc/sections/news/CLGF-msnbc.pdf
Did they cut you a check, uther? Or are you a free lap dog?
The post that was quoted here has been removedOkay. Now I am a Nazi because I want peace, according to you. As far as lies go... what did I say about these anarchist that is a lie ? Its all documented.
Several weeks ago I posted 160+ illegal acts they have committed and this number has increased much since then. Your response was back then ? Some drivel comparing them to the founding fathers.
So are these the new founding fathers no.1 ? Are they (you) hoping to tear down this great nation and replace it with a new progressive Utopia ?
Originally posted by utherpendragonThis great nation was designed to be a progressive utopia, not the brutal police state you crave. The instances of police brutality directed at the OWS demonstrators is well documented; much of it is on youtube if you'd open your eyes.

The idea that OWS is "anarchists" gets a LMAO! I thought you or one of the other right wing drones claimed they were Nazis?

I will help you out.
1. He had to wear a coarse gown in his cell. Thats so he does not hurt himself. Basically a suicide watch. Obviously, he expressed he was depressed upon entry to the facility during in-processing. Thats a sure way this order comes about.
2. He was forced to stand nude at least once where he was in view of other inmates. Well, my heart just bleeds for PFC Manning. Welcome to Prison son !
You and amnesty international are so worried about his treatment in the joint ? You say are from N.Y. Are you and A.I. going to Comstock, Clinton,Sullivan, Attica,etc and complaining about the treatment of these inmates ? He is being handled with kid gloves compared to what they go through on a daily basis.
Forced nudity! Give me a break !
