Does permitting a prisoner to walk in circle eights for one hour a day constitute exercise? Is not being allowed pillows or sheets a form of mistreatment?
These questions may lie at the heart of a formal complaint lodged this week by the lawyer defending accused WikiLeaks leaker Bradley Manning, an Army private who is being held in military custody at Quantico, Va.
The lawyer for Army Pfc. Bradley Manning, who is accused of leaking military documents to WikiLeaks, has filed a complaint about the treatment his client is receiving in custody.David Coombs, who represents Manning for his court-martial proceedings, announced on his website that he had filed a formal complaint under the Uniform Code of Military Justice protesting Manning's treatment. Coombs said in his complaint that keeping Manning under prevention-of-injury watch for five months, and suicide watch, is an "abuse" of the base commander's discretion.
Well the whiner should not have violated the UCMJ, Army Regulations, National Security laws etc. He is whining about the position he himself put himself in. OH well, what he did, as a member of the US Army, he should feel extremely lucky he is being so well treated. They are following the book.
