Is it not common knowledge for Reddit that Bradley Manning was tortured?

I have been seeing many post regarding Snowden and the fact he is worried to come home for fear of being tortured/killed. Everyone seems to forget that the last major whistleblower we had before Snowden was tortured.

I wonder why the US has Denied the Rapporteur a private interview with Bradley Manning not once but Twice. Seems like they are Definably Trying to hide the rigorous amounts of torture he went through until after he is convicted. Must be the new Standard Operating Procedure for the US. We don't Lie We just Deny.

I just assume anyone detained by the government is tortured in one way or another.

I didn't even know he existed until the Snowden case.

What did he do? repost or something

He is the whistleblower that revealed a number of american war crimes to Wikileaks.

He saw something. He said something.

Just like he was supposed to.

He was a intelligence analyst in the Army. He leaked sensitive information from the US government about various war crimes.

Learning takes time bro, and down this rabbit hole you're going to need to make sacrifices... I still remember my first 4 hour YouTube documentary about the numerology and symbolism behind the 2012 olympics

Sounds interesting! So I Googled to find this documentary, but to no avail.

Name/link please?

I seem to be having trouble with my computer looking things up on youtube, but if you search for "Rik Clay 2012 olympics" you should find it. Mind you this was released before the opening ceremony so a lot of this didnt end up happening obviously, but at the time it was extremely fascinating.

Edit: I should mention that he was killed shortly after publishing his research

How was the documentary

1  chetti990 2013-08-01

I enjoyed it. Some of it was probably unnecessary but I wanted to lean as much as I could so to me it was nbd. I figure I waste so much time on here everyday looking at stupid ass shit that I can spare some time for something worthwhile
