Today an injustice was perpetrated on a brave young soul, Bradley Manning, whose courageous act of whistleblowing revealed untold truths about the US war machine. Prosecuting him under the Espionage Act despite his guilty pleas for leaking information was a government attempt to “intimidate anyone who might consider revealing valuable information in the future,” according to Ben Wizner, director of the ACLU’s Speech, Privacy and Technology Project. In other words, the injustice perpetrated against Manning was perpetrated against all of us, stifling truth, justice, and democracy in one fell swoop.
