Bradley Manning Torture Probe Monitoring By U.S. Violates U.N. Rules: Official

The United States disregard for international conventions related to treatment and UN access to prisoners is deplorable. in their efforts to discourage future whistleblowers in the military and elsewhere in government, the Obama Administration has consistently trampled Bradley Manning civil rights and dignity. I'd like to think that American democracy could withstand the scrutiny of its actions without resorting to uncivilized efforts to intimidate and silence critics.
