re. Private Manning: Hard to believe the following is true.
>>>>The Obama administration must stop obstructing the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Torture, Juan Mendez, from conducting an un-monitored meeting with PFC Manning.>>>>

-- From a Bradley Manning Support Network email.

Well... maybe not so hard. But I can't imagine what sort of threat.... other than inconvenient PR.... such an interview would pose.

In any case... yes... there's a petition. A link to it follows:

2. It's the difference between $15,000 lawyers and $250,000 ones, I'd say.
One rots in Leavenworth, the other's in an English manor.

6. Great. So the investigation of torture should proceed
and Manning should have a trial.

7. Do you think anyone has been tortured by our government in the last 10 years?
Given your tone on this, I'm interested in knowing your overall perspective on the subject.
