Meanwhile, Bradley Manning (and the PEOPLE) in Gitmo are not being brought to trial....

...they apparently are living in a nightmarish limbo of neither life nor death.

Don't ask what "Jesus would do"? .... What would YOU do, if you were living such a 'life'? And what would you like/ask others? How would you ask/expect them to intercede?

Remember, as you have done to one another, so it shall be done unto you.

1. To kill people is considered a great atrocity

and yet, what is the difference between murder and assassination for the sake of power and the ability to make people unexist? Well, it seems that making them unexist is now easier and cleaner and so, we continue to allow the atrocities to not only prevail, but we watch the way they are committed become more sleek and crafty.

We allow it, remember. Nothing much has been done by all of us to stop this, no matter what the excuse, with a will or intensity that will make it undeniably clear that we will not stand for it and we will not accept it as our potential fate if we stray from the tenets set by the domination and control of our current, corporatist system.

When we can all sit back and tolerate the unfathomable, we only help to create a fate that we could not tolerate if we were to realize it to be our very own, born of our tolerance for what we thought would only befall someone else.

4. Well...

Manning's defense attorneys requested the delay, so that's not the government's fault.

And the people in Gitmo are trapped there by Congress. If you'd like to help them, work to elect better Democrats.
