Manning supplied part of a password to Julian Assange running Wikileaks.
Assange was able to hack the entire password - Assange back in Australia
as a teenager developped uncanny skill as a hacker. With the password,
Manning was able to leak the intelligence reports of innumerable
American war crimes abroad which Wikileaks published. Assange should get
a Pulitzer Prize for investigative reporting, and in a just world, the
World Court at the Hague would try and convict some of those who ordered
or countenanced those war crimes. Instead, the Empire means to
incarcerate Assange if it can get ahold of him for revealing its secret
crimes. Obama pardonned Manning 7 years into his lifelong sentence.
Question for Charlie Loving - where did you learn French? I am
interested as I lived in France 1954-55 and revisited it a month at a
time in 1998, several times in the 2000's, the last time in 2005, when
we stayed in David and Cynthia Price's rented apartment near the Jardin
de Luxembourg. David Price turns out to be Houston White's cousin. Small
world!
