Re: The inhumane conditions of Bradley Manning's detention
#3This is utterly shocking. I had no idea that solitary confinement was used in cases other than to prevent physical harm to an inmate or to prevent violence.
It looks like the technique is being used the same way as a "stress position" to slowly turn Manning into a hopeless wreck willing to say anything to see the light of day again.
Regardless of what Manning did (and regardless of whether or not I find it offensive) I don't think anyone -- especially nonviolent offenders -- should be subjected to such inhumane treatment.

I'm looking for a separation of concerns, separating my submissions as me, finding things or writing things, from my curating activities of finding duplicates and cross-referencing, wherein I try to prevent the repetition of discussion across effectively identical submissions.
I'm also using it as an opportunity to put into practice some of the things I've learned about semantic analysis, Bayesian filters, and automated web interactions.
It's an experiment. It probably won't last long.

Do you think we should leave a mint on his (non)pillow every night? The accusations against this military person, who voluntarily violated his oath to protect the nation's secrets, are very serious, and PRIVATE, not Mister, Manning is being held to the same standards any other military person is liable to, and is quite likely to face execution by firing squad.

And especially without being convicted of anything yet.
Very disgusting and shocking to learn of this.

Execution for treason is less morally offensive than psychological torture. That's why cruel and unusual punishment is expressly forbidden by the constitution.
EDIT: To say nothing of the fact that he hasn't been convicted of anything yet.

#10Cruel and unusual punishment. This is ridiculous and makes me feel ashamed to be an American.
