<P>The events in Egypt show, once again, how U.S. foreign policy needs
dramatic change (analysis of that is coming shortly). The U.S. has
supported the despotic regime of Hosni Mubarak for 30 years. We've
seen weapons, tear gas and fighter jets all provided by the United States
used against the Egyptian people. One of the abuses of the Mubarak
regime has been torture of Egyptians. Today, the United States is
torturing an American soldier-citizen who has not been convicted of any
crime. Pfc Bradley Manning is accused of leaking a video to
WikiLeaks that shows the wanton killing of civilians
by American soldiers and is being investigated for leaks of
diplomatic cables and Iraq and Afghan war diaries. We are working
with the Bradley Manning Support Network (<A title=http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=J2doOwBY8YX336eA/CMRB7SD3OvGBHlO href="http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=J2doOwBY8YX336eA%2FCMRB7SD3OvGBHlO" target=_blank>www.BradleyManning.org</A>) to organize a show of
support for Manning and make sure the commander-in-chief takes
responsibility for the actions of the military. </P>
<P>Please join us in calling the White House this Thursday. </P>
<P>Thanks. </P>

<P>National White House Call-in Day to Support Bradley Manning, Thursday,
February 3rd, 2011</P>
<P>Whitehouse switchboard: 202-456-1414<BR>(or Whitehouse comments:
202-456-1111)</P>
<P>Call the White House Thursday to voice your support for accused
WikiLeaks whistle-blower US Army PFC Bradley Manning, specifically that
his human rights be respected by the Quantico, Virginia, brig authorities.
Bradley has been held in solitary confinement-like conditions for over
eight months, and his trial is still months away. This American
citizen-soldier has been convicted of no crime, yet continues to endure
inhumane conditions of pre-trial confinement like no other inmate at the
Quantico brig. White House press secretary Robert Gibbs recently stated
that the White House was not paying attention to Bradley Manning's extreme
confinement conditions, or the fact that recent pre-approved visitors of
Bradley's have been detained and interrogated by military police in order
to block their scheduled visit. It is critical that we educate the White
House of this ongoing injustice!</P>
<P>Recommended points to make:</P>
<P>- US Army PFC Bradley Manning, the accused WikiLeaks whistle-blower
being held at the Marine brig in Quantico, Virginia, is an American
citizen who is innocent until proven otherwise. Yet, he has been subjected
to continuous illegal pre-trial punishment since his arrest in May 2010.
Based on these abuses alone, Manning should be freed pending court
martial.</P>
<P>- Military pre-trial confinement is supposed to be about ensuring a
soldier's presence at court martial, yet for eight months now Manning has
been subjected to extreme pre-trial punishment through the arbitrary use
of rarely applied regulations--specifically the "maximum security
classification" and the "prevention of injury" order. If he is not freed
pending court martial, then at the very least, Manning's human rights
need to be respected, and the illegal pre-trial punishment must
end.</P>
<P>- The arbitrary restrictions placed on Manning, and no other inmates at
Quantico, mean that: Manning is allowed no meaningful physical exercise,
he is allowed no social interaction with other inmates, he is kept in his
cell at least 23 hours per day, and he is not allowed out of his cell
without restraints.</P>
<P>- If the charges against him are true, they actually show that Manning
is a patriot acting to advance an informed democracy. There is no
allegation that Manning did anything but share truthful information with
the American public regarding the realities of our nation's ongoing wars
in Iraq and Afghanistan, with absolutely no benefit to himself, in order
to spark public debate regarding foreign policy.</P>
