Military Refuses Visits to Manning

(Before It's News)

The lawyer for an Army private suspected of giving classified material to WikiLeaks says the military is refusing to grant his client private jailhouse visits with a U.S. congressman, a United Nations torture investigator and Amnesty International.

Civilian attorney David Coombs blogged on Thursday that military officials say none of these visits with Pfc. Bradley Manning would constitute official government business, so the meetings must be monitored.

Coombs says the Marine Corps brig in Quantico, Va., is breaking its own rules by denying U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich a private meeting with Manning. The lawyer says members of Congress on official government business aren’t subject to monitoring.

The Ohio Democrat and the other prospective visitors say they want to see if Manning is being mistreated in pretrial confinement.

  • The NAZIS let the RED CROSS into the Camps.

  • The USA hold people in Egypt where any methord goes to try to make them talk or to say they did something they didn’t and then they tell the public they are all for democracy.

    Most of the politicains in the USA are on the payroll for the zionists and that means anything goes and with the modia on side they will tell you that up is down and that everyone agrees.

    Things are worse than 1930′s germany and mannings is one of the few people in the militaty that did what he signed up for and thats to protect the public for both foriegn and domestic terrorists.

    Still he’s not up for rape like wikileaks on trumped up changes about a comdom breaking where the rape victim throws a party the next day for the person she then accuses or rape.

    I think i know who should be in jail and it’s not bradly mannings
