sounds like you understand the system pretty well. the US is grounded in a limited federal government and the right to vigorously oppose it (short of, say, revolt) without persecution (see: bill of rights).
holding manning in jail for so long was persecutory and unjust.

- FpUser 7y agoReally? I thought the whole idea of free "free" was that people do mess with the Authority to keep it in check.
- CiPHPerCoder 7y agoThat is the idea. They're saying that, in practice, the Authority is anti-freedom, and freedom is the enemy.
- cultus 7y agoIt's common practice to hold even low level offenders for a year or more to extract a confession. NYC has been particularly infamous for this.
