Hillary Clinton's spokesman has launched a public attack on the Pentagon for the way it is treating military prisoner Bradley Manning, the US soldier suspected of handing the US embassy cables to WikiLeaks.

PJ Crowley, the assistant secretary of state for public affairs at the US state department, said Manning was being "mistreated" in the military brig at Quantico, Virginia. "What is being done to Bradley Manning is ridiculous and counterproductive and stupid on the part of the department of defence," he said.

Crowley's comments signal a crack within the Obama administration over the handling of the WikiLeaks saga in which hundreds of thousands of confidential documents were handed to the website.

7. Clinton did not say this. It was not a government declaration,

just one mans opinion, that has been supported by prominent psychiatrists.

But pay no heed to the man in the white jacket, those boys in fatigues know the real score. Further, Obama says its protocol. Business as usual, change thats just the same as it ever was... and Walker is the whore, go figure.
