The Washington Post<\/a> reports this morning that Bradley Manning, the soldier who released mountains of classified information to Wikileaks, was diagnosed as unfit for duty in Iraq by a mental health professional at Fort Drum, but that Manning’s command disregarded that diagnosis.<\/p>\n

The Army investigation, which is separate from an ongoing criminal inquiry, found that Manning’s immediate supervisors did not follow procedures for overseeing the secure area where the classified information was kept, greatly increasing the risk of a security breach, the official said. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, that doesn’t excuse Manning’s treason either. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Amnesty International has busied itself <\/a>with Manning’s treatment while he’s at Quantico’s confinement facility;<\/p>\n

On his website, [Manning’s lawyer David E.] Coombs says Manning is being kept in solitary confinement 23 hours a day, barred from having sheets or using a pillow, prohibited from keeping personal items in his cell, and forced to respond to a guard’s queries every five minutes. Manning cannot exercise while in his cell, and he must strip down to his underwear before going to bed. If guards can’t see him clearly when he’s sleeping, he is woken.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And Amnesty International is trying to convince the Brits that Manning is a Brit, too. I wonder when was the last time AI checked in on Bowe Bergdahl, the paratrooper being held by the Taliban.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
