You’ve probably read all last week how guards at the Quantico brig began taking Brad Manning’s clothes every night, forcing him to sleep naked. I knew there was probably a very good reason if it happened at all. This morning Politico<\/a> reports that his defense lawyer explains why, after nearly a week of whining about it;<\/p>\n

…Manning “was told that there was nothing he could do to downgrade his detainee status and that the Brig simply considered him a risk of self-harm. PFC Manning then remarked that the [Prevention of Injury] restrictions were ‘absurd’ and sarcastically stated that if he wanted to harm himself, he could conceivably do so with the elastic waistband of his underwear or with his flip-flops.”<\/p>\n

Manning’s allegedly sarcastic comment about using his underwear or slippers to hurt himself was apparently taken seriously by jailers, who then ordered him to spend seven hours each night without his underwear or any other garments.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Note to Manning’s lawyer in case he doesn’t know; You also don’t make sarcastic comments about bombs at the airport.<\/p>\n

…[T]hey could undoubtedly provide him with clothing that would not, in their view, present a risk of self-harm,” Coombs wrote.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, like big boy disposable diapers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
