In New York Magazine,
Steven Fishman has a lengthy profile of Bradley Manning that purports
to shed new light on the accused WikiLeaks leaker. The only aspect of
Fishman's article that's meaningfully new is a series of chat logs and
other online communications Manning purportedly conducted with Zachary
Antolak, a 19-year-old gay web designer whom Manning befriended. Though
the article focuses on a variety of Manning's emotional struggles in a
way that -- as is typical for whistleblowers or anyone who engages in
acts of meaningful dissent -- is supposed to make you believe his
alleged actions were the by-product of psychological afflictions, it
actually achieves the opposite.

While I am glad Manning is no longer being physically and mentally tortured by the Obamanation, I think I would rather ask why those who decided to tor ture an American serviceman in US military facilities are not being exposed and pursued? Is there a difference between the Cheney government and Black Bush?
