To follow-up on yesterday's observations about the prolonged forced nudity to which Bradley Manning has been subjected the last two days: brig officials now confirm to The New York Times that Manning will be forced to be nude every night from now on for the indefinite future -- not only when he sleeps, but also when he stands outside his cell for morning inspection along with the other brig detainees. They claim that it is being done "as a 'precautionary measure' to prevent him from injuring himself."
To our eternal shame, this country has taken a young man who enlisted in the armed forces to serve his country, and upon seeing his country act against everything he thought it stood for and following his conscience and his sense of duty sought to bring to light immoral and illegal acts being performed contrary to domestic and international law, thrown him into Hell and hopes to destroy him.
