His care while in the custody of the Department of Defense is the responsibility of the U.S. Government and as a member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform it is my duty to conduct effective oversight. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The ironic part of the letter, he defends Manning&#8217;s right to the assumption of innocence while Kucinich presumes that the DoD is guilty of Manning&#8217;s lawyer&#8217;s charges of mistreatment.
