Concerning Private Manning.....

[Smarmie Doofus]

Now that the war in Iraq is over ( I jest) , perhaps we can focus on helping folks who took unfathomable risks to end it. The following came in the form of an email from his support network.




>>>>Hundreds, if not thousands, of individuals have sent mail to Bradley at
Quantico, and to Kuwait before that. Due to a strict interpretation of
confinement facility regulations, Bradley has not received a single letter,
and most letters have been returned to sender.

This collective effort, however, has not been in vain. The brig understands
that many, many individuals are concerned about Bradley, and this offers
some level of protection against informal physical abuse by guards and other
inmates. Also, Bradley has been notified that he is receiving an "avalanche
of fan mail". Brig authorities have told Bradley that 75% of all mail
received by the brig in the last month has been addressed to him.

Going forward, we'll invite folks to send letters to Bradley c/o Courage to
Resist, 484 Lake Park Ave #41, Oakland CA 94610. We will open these letters,
discard any "contraband", and mail them in a weekly package to Bradley.
Bradley will receive this envelope from an individual currently on his
approved brig correspondence list.>>>>


In other words... let 'em know "the whole world's watching."
