Bradley Manning is STILL in prison

Hey America, are we really going to let Bradley Manning rot in jail for blowing the whistle on the immoral acts of our military and government? It's been a year-and-a-half with no trial...and no evidence. He's also a kid.

It seems as though they are treating him as a traitor.

Wikipedia: "the word 'traitor' may be used to describe a person who betrays (or is accused of betraying) their own political party, nation, family, friends, ethnic group, team, religion..., social class, or other group to which they may belong. Often, such accusations are controversial and disputed, as the person may not identify with the group of which they are a member, or may otherwise disagree with the group leaders making the charge."

If blowing the whistle on the most powerful nation in the world covering up human rights violations is traitorous, then being a "traitor" might just be the next big thing.

Watch out America...fix it, or get fix'd.

"America by Bradley Manning" (God bless the whistle blowers)

You ready? Here we go...down into the rabbit hole...

I know this chick named America,
she's married to a man who's been scaring her,
he protects her, but he lies and steals,
and cheats...while swearing upon her seal.

She's heard rumors of clandestine, backroom deals,
and getting off on enemies losses in the field,
but lately, someone's making 'em squeal, and
now she's nervous, about how it's making him feel.

She's seen things, but it's more than that,
she's been clothed and adored and worn the hats,
she's been housed and fed and adorned in tats,
and enjoyed being an accessory, before his acts.

So now, she's as guilty as him, and
if she doesn't fix it, so will be her kin,
and that WILL be a sin, when her
man makes his move, will she too or blow in the wind?

Remain status quo, accept the life,
become an accomplice, and let it slide.
Is it worth her time, to keep her turf and pride?
Were it up to him, would she live or die?

You can fool some people some of the time, but you
can't fool yourself forever, so stop lying.
Can she, find enough backbone to climb,
out of this pit of despair, where the water's fine?

Can it be time for some amnesty,
and come clean, and trust her man to be
the man he claimed to be before transparency, and
stop withholding rights of fellow humanity?

She'll forgive him if he can, but if he can't,
the Apocalypse of Truth will divorce their hand,
only to reveal a greater land...
rock will stand where the secrets wash away with the sand.
