Manning: US Army like ‘child torturing ants with a magnifying glass’ (FULL LEAKED TESTIMONY)

3

A speech freedom advocacy group has released audio of Bradley Manning’s testimony about his motives for leaking secret US government documents to WikiLeaks. It marks the first time the public has heard Manning’s voice since his 2010 arrest.

Defying the military’s ban on making recordings at Manning’s pre-trial tribunal at the military court at Fort Meade, the Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF) has released Manning’s February account to the judge explaining why he exposed military secrets.

“We hope this recording will shed light on one of the most secret court trials in recent history, in which the government is putting on trial a concerned government employee whose only stated goal was to bring attention to what he viewed as serious governmental misconduct and criminal activity,” the FPF said in a statement.

While unofficial transcripts of the statement are available, this is the first time anyone outside the court has heard Manning’s own explanation of how and why he gave the Apache helicopter video, Afghanistan and Iraq Wars Logs and State Department Diplomatic Cables to WikiLeaks.

Manning justifies his actions with a firm belief that what he identifies as US government wrongdoings need to be exposed in order to “spark a domestic debate on the role of the military and our foreign policy in general as it related to Iraq and Afghanistan.”

In the recording he goes on to accuse the army of “not valu[ing] human life,” comparing servicemen “to a child torturing ants with a magnifying glass.”

In regards to the “Collateral Murder” video, which shows US Apache helicopters opening fire on and killing civilians, including journalists, Manning said “the most alarming aspect of the video to me, however, was the seemingly delightful bloodlust they appeared to have.”

The attacks footage received worldwide coverage following the release of 39 minutes of classified cockpit gunsight material in 2010, starting the controversy surrounding WikiLeaks and its whistleblowing founder Julian Assange.

Because recording is prohibited at Manning’s hearings, the Pentagon is pursuing measures that would strengthen security and prevent information leaks from the trial.

Military judge Denise Lind, who is trying Manning’s case, has been informed by the Department of Defense that there was “a violation of the rules for the court,” a spokesman said in a statement sent to AFP, and that the “US Army is currently reviewing the procedures set in place to safeguard the security and integrity of the legal proceedings and ensure PFC Manning receives a fair and impartial trial.”

Twenty-five-year-old Private First Class Manning has been held in US military custody following his arrest in May 2010. He has pleaded guilty to 10 of the 22 charges set against him. If convicted, he could face 20 years in jail. He is pending trial as the prosecution still intends to pursue the 12 remaining charges.

    This is what happens when a good soldier reports bad superiors.
    While the military elite vilify Manning you can be certain he will never get a fair trial.
    He is not “Team Player”. Even when you tell the truth, truth that reveals snake like underside to US Governmental military politics it is a bad thing.
    Why? Because it reveals the truth about media manipulation and government deception.

    US Drone programs seeking to award medals to persons who never see the field of battle simply glorify the murder of innocent civilians including more than 200 children. Remember the children of the Elite never see battle as well.

    If people will not speak out now while it is happening so far away in a country that was never a threat, sanctioned by an illegal president, what will they do when that same president unleashes similar attacks on American soil and my neighbors die because I was targeted being one willing to speak out?

    I wonder how the US Government will play the media game?

    Perhaps: US Military drone accidentally fired, kills disabled veteran and surrounding neighborhood.

    Wonder how many times that will play out?

    They will probably leave out the disabled veteran part and never mention it. Or they will vilify him as a “dissident” making him an acceptable bad guy. What about the neighbors? Just unlucky I guess.

    Manning is a true hero

      I agree, when one awakens to the truth and then has the co-hones to speak the truth they are a hero. Of course they are also politically incorrect and will be silenced in any way possible.
