[bobthedrummer]

American soldier's lawyers say holding him in maximum security and putting him on suicide watch breaches his rights.

1. "abuse" is also called torture-and there is a highly refined form that University of Wisconsin

Professor Alfred McCoy termed "no-touch" torture that was "studied" by the CIA. The link below expands on McCoy's 2006 book "A Question of Torture, CIA Interrogation from the Cold War to the War on Terror".

3. It's more than "abuse"...while war criminals like Donald Henry Rumsfeld, Richard Bruce Cheney et al

and domestic enemies of The United States of America like Alberto Gonzales et al are unaccountable for their crimes against humanity

[bobthedrummer]

4. Rumsfeld is considering writing his memoirs-that's in the news today

Rumsfeld is a free war criminal, Bradley Manning has become an "unperson" and labeled with many things.

Between these two men who is it that actually harmed US, who betrayed their oath to preserve, protect and defend our Constitution from all enemies (both domestic and foreign)-it's obvious.

Donald Henry Rumsfeld is a traitor.

Btw, who abused their position as part of the US Defense Department to abuse all of US? Who has harmed our military to the point that suicide has been the leading cause of US military deaths for the past two years?

Who enabled lying? Who contracted and paid private organizations full of murderers, torturers, child sex predators, human traffickers, narcotics and arms wholesalers, etc as mercenary armies.

Who is free, who is an "unperson" and why are we, the people not being truly represented at all?

Btw, below are a couple of fact-filled links to consider in the context of this thread and my constant kicking of so many others, simply because there has been a coup here in our nation that cannot be ignored any longer.

Rumsfeld's Roadmap to Propaganda (The National Security Archive/Electronic Briefing Book 177)
Secret Pentagon "roadmap" calls for "boundaries" between "information operations" abroad and at home but provides no actual limits, as long as US doesn't "target" Americans

More troop lost to suicide (1-24-11 John Donnelly/Congress.org)
"For the second year in a row, the U.S. military has lost more troops to suicide than it has to combat in Iraq and Afghanistan."

6. To they that are the powers that be there is "just us"-not justice n/t

7. Well it makes sense doesn't it?

To have him on a suicide watch so when he gets "suicided" it shouldn't be a shock.
What happened to our country?

[bobthedrummer]

8. Many coups happened and were LIHOPed (not referring to NYC attack here at all) n/t

9. The message sent to supporters is, "the more you speak up

the more we will abuse him".

10. SAY IT LOUD-NGU! n/t

11. I called my Senators and Ellison demanding to know what they are doing for his release

of course I was either told they would take a message or left a voice mail.

I told them I was watching MSNBC (Dylan's show) and that they were saying people were detained trying to visit him and that he was being held in solitary confinment for 7 months and that it amounted to torture. I also let them know that Amnesty International are investigating his rights.

I think we have to keep calling our Reps and the Commander at Quantico

12. annm4peace, that is worth a kick, it needs to be done by more of us n/t
