Bradley Manning Pleads Guilty To 10 Charges
Entropy98 sends this quote from the LA Times:
"Army Pfc. Bradley Edward Manning pleaded guilty Thursday to 10 charges that he illegally acquired and transferred highly classified U.S. government secrets, agreeing to serve [up to] 20 years in prison for causing a worldwide uproar when WikiLeaks published documents describing the inner workings of U.S. military and diplomatic efforts in Iraq, Afghanistan and around the globe. The 25-year-old soldier, however, pleaded not guilty to 12 more serious charges, including espionage for aiding the enemy, meaning that his criminal case will go forward at a general court-martial in June. If convicted at trial, he risks a sentence of life in prison at Ft. Leavenworth, Kan."
Racist!
Actually, I was more referring to the recent stuff with the Obama administration trying to explain why the Second Amendment doesn't exist and why we shouldn't worry about it. I guess I got my quotes mixed up.
Plus there's the whole "free to assassinate Americans when they're outside the country" thing. Clearly judicial process isn't something the Obama administration is terribly worried about.
Considering Obama was a law professor I find his attitude towards the US Constitution disturbing. President George W. Bush and President Barack Obama should be arrested and charged with treason and high crimes, detained in Cuba at Club Gitmo, tried in a military court, and subsequently if found guilty sentenced to death. To ensure a fair trial keep them detained in Cuba for a period not less than 100 years with hard field labour for a minimum of 12 hours each day except Sunday when they are required to spend 4 hours in reflective spiritual contemplation or water-boarding.
