I quote two passages from an article in The Guardian:
”As commander in chief, Obama is ultimately responsible for Manning's treatment at the hands of his military jailers. In his only comments on the matter so far, Obama has insisted that the way the soldier was being detained was "appropriate and meets our basic standards".” See The Guardian http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/apr/10/bradley-manning-legal-scholars-letter for the whole article.
”More than 250 of America's most eminent legal scholars have signed a letter protesting against the treatment in military prison of the alleged WikiLeaks source Bradley Manning, contesting that his "degrading and inhumane conditions" are illegal, unconstitutional and could even amount to torture.” http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/apr/10/bradley-manning-legal-scholars-letter
As quite a few countries, even including Norway, are bombing in Libya to protect civilians, maybe it is time not to forget what is going on concerning Manning and detainees at Guantanamo? It seems it is necessary for the ordinary citizens to be protected against governments in quite a few countries.
