Glen Greenwald writes in Salon<\/a> that Bradley Manning isn’t very happy with the fruits of his treasonous release of sensitive documents to Wikileaks;<\/p>\n

For reasons that appear completely punitive, he’s being denied many of the most basic attributes of civilized imprisonment, including even a pillow or sheets for his bed (he is not and never has been on suicide watch). For the one hour per day when he is freed from this isolation, he is barred from accessing any news or current events programs. Lt. Villiard protested that the conditions are not “like jail movies where someone gets thrown into the hole,” but confirmed that he is in solitary confinement, entirely alone in his cell except for the one hour per day he is taken out.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, Manning’s discomfort is my pleasure. See, he released that information without a thought of lives and families he destroyed or the damage he’s done to our war effort. For something as simple as being spurned by his lover. And I’m supposed to feel sorry for him – the opposite true. I revel in his discomfort.<\/p>\n

He were released into the general population, given a roomie and mingled with the other inmates, he might get his little ass beat. I’m sure there are criminals locked in the Quantico facility who would want to make a name for themselves.<\/p>\n

No sheet or pillow? Poor guy. My only experience in confinement was when I was jailed for kidnapping in Panama (it’s a long story, suffice it to say that I didn’t do it), my bed was a newspaper on a concrete floor, my pillow was my arm and my sheet was another newspaper. I left my cell once a week for a shower, otherwise I was in the cell 24\/7. I was released before my trial, because like I said, I didn’t do it. So I really can’t feel much sympathy for Manning.<\/p>\n

Thanks to BooRadley for the link. And for making my night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
