That’s the scene outside the gate of Fort Meade, MD yesterday while the Article 32 hearing of Brad Manning, the fellow who released our military secrets to some albino Scandi because his boyfriend dumped him. I know you don’t recognize him without his uniform, but that’s Dan Choi along side VFP\/Code Pink member Ann Wright<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Inside the hearing, Associated Press<\/a> reports that the Army prosecutors will prove that the Wikileaks material came from Manning’s computers;<\/p>\n

Monday’s testimony will focus on a forensic examination of Manning’s two workplace computers. In the most potentially damaging evidence so far, an investigator testified Sunday that he found more than 10,000 downloaded diplomatic cables and other sensitive information on a computer Manning used.<\/p>\n

He says the other computer was used to conduct scores of online searches for WikiLeaks and its founder, Julian Assange. The witness says that seemed odd, since Manning was supposed to be analyzing intelligence about Iraqi terrorist threats.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So not only did he release information that endangered people, he was neglecting his duties and endangering the lives of soldiers who were currently engaged with our enemies.<\/p>\n

As Zero wrote the other day, Manning’s defense is that he’s gay so he’s innocent<\/a>;<\/p>\n

The defense revealed that Manning had written to one of his supervisors in Baghdad before his arrest, saying he was suffering from gender-identity disorder. He included a picture of himself dressed as a woman and talked about how it was affecting his ability to do his job and even think clearly.<\/p>\n

Maj. Matthew Kemkes, one of Manning’s lawyers, asked Special Agent Toni Graham, an Army criminal investigator, whether she had talked to people who believed Manning was gay or found evidence among his belongings relating to gender-identity disorder. The condition often is described as a mental diagnosis in which people believe they were born the wrong sex.<\/p>\n

Graham said such questions were irrelevant to the investigation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, either gays are just like the rest of us or they’re not. They can’t have it both ways. If this defense works, the Army can just fire all of the gays who are working in intelligence and be justified. I can’t believe that Choi, the gay activist, is supporting someone who says that being gay justifies being a criminal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
