That fellow who doesn’t even know what that thing between his legs means, decided that he needed to weigh in on the current state of affairs in Iraq, according to a link sent to us by Doc Bailey by AFP<\/a>; <\/p>\n

“Military and diplomatic reports coming across my desk detailed a brutal crackdown against political dissidents by the Iraqi Ministry of Interior and federal police, on behalf of Prime Minister Nuri Al-Maliki. Detainees were often tortured, or even killed.”<\/p>\n

Manning, a former US Army intelligence analyst, said he was “shocked by our military’s complicity in the corruption of that election. Yet these deeply troubling details flew under the American media’s radar.”<\/p>\n

Criticizing the military’s practice of embedding journalists, Manning charged that “the current limits on press freedom and excessive government secrecy make it impossible for Americans to grasp fully what is happening in the wars we finance.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The last Iraqi election was just last month<\/a> while Manning was fending off potential suitors in the prison mess hall. He was incarcerated for espionage. Why anyone would think that he has anything of value to add to the discussion is beyond my comprehension.<\/p>\n

Of course, he’s just trying to mitigate his traitorous exploits, but, Brad, we really just don’t give a shit. He handed over thousands of classified documents for purely personal reasons with not a thought as to the consequences of his actions. Please rot in jail. Thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
