Since we have two shit bags on trial today, I thought I’d combine the news. First on Hasan. He opened his trial with this statement, according to NBC<\/a>; <\/p>\n

“The evidence will clearly show that I am the shooter,” Hasan, an American-born Muslim accused of killing 13 soldiers and wounding 32 others on Nov. 5, 2009, told jurors in a less than two-minute-long opening statement, according to The Associated Press. <\/p>\n

However, he added: “Witnesses will testify that war is an ugly thing. Death, destruction and devastation are felt from both sides, from friend and foe. Evidence from this trial will only show one side. I was on the wrong side, but I switched sides,” reported Reuters. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, this shouldn’t take long.<\/p>\n

On Breanna Manning, ABC<\/a> is saying that they heard a rumor that Colonel Denise Lind, the judge has combined some of the charges against him and reduced his maximum possible sentence to 90 years; <\/p>\n

A military judge has reduced Army Pfc. Bradley Manning’s maximum possible sentence in the WikiLeaks case to 90 years in prison.

Manning had faced up to 136 years in prison after he was convicted of charges related to his disclosure of classified information to the anti-secrecy website. But the judge, Army Col. Denise Lind, found during his sentencing hearing Tuesday that a number of the charges refer to the same actions and therefore were duplicative for sentencing purposes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But that rumor comes from those doinks at the Bradley Manning Defense network, so I’m not sure how reliable it is. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile the Huffington Post<\/a> reports that 1500 morons have signed a petition volunteering to serve out Breanna’s sentence for her.<\/p>\n

So many have signed the petition at this point, Zeese noted, that if each took an equal part of Manning’s potential maximum sentence they would serve less than a month.<\/p>\n

“There’s a lot of safety in numbers,” he said. “We obviously recognize that the military is unlikely to let us serve his sentence, but the people who are signing up are really committed, so it’s up to them whether this is more a symbol than a reality. From our perspective we are really offering to do this.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I love the thought of 1500 morons being off the street for few weeks, but I doubt any of them could last a day or two, so the Army ought to go and round up the volunteers and let them collectively serve five years or so of Manning’s sentence just for the entertainment value. It could be like a reality show or something. 1500 of them would fill up a couple of seasons with chuckles and belly laughs while the hippies deal with the consequences of their symbolism.<\/p>\n
