So after a 14-month investigation, the UN special rapporteur on torture has decided that the US government is guilty of cruel and inhumane treatment of Bradley Manning (who prefers to be called Breanna<\/a>) and he’s officially accused the US. <\/p>\n

Manning has been in custody for almost two years and was held in solitary confinement at Quantico – more than likely for his own protection. Of course, the UN investigator isn’t concerned with Manning’s safety. I’m sure the UN considers any imprisonment cruel and humane as long as the US is doing it. The Guardian<\/a>: <\/p>\n

Mendez, who runs the UN office that investigates incidents of alleged torture around the world, told the Guardian: “I conclude that the 11 months under conditions of solitary confinement (regardless of the name given to his regime by the prison authorities) constitutes at a minimum cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment in violation of article 16 of the convention against torture. If the effects in regards to pain and suffering inflicted on Manning were more severe, they could constitute torture.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I wonder what the UN would conclude if they released Manning into the general population and he was raped daily or killed outright by some prisoner who still had the flame of patriotism burning in his dark soul. I’m pretty sure that if I were ever in prison, I’d prefer solitary confinement. But then, I don’t think I’d be a willing participant in some of the activities that men’s prisons are known for. That might not be the case with Breanna.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
