Bradley Manning

Bradley Manning has spent the last 5 months in solitary confinement for releasing the best things published by wikileaks. Bail to present a decent case is estimated at $150,000. He could go down for over 50 years. Julian Assange has made his name on these documents and faces his own problems in Sweden, he is fortunate to have many celebrity supporters. Wikileaks has financial problems since the US government pressurised barclaycad, vsa ans paypal to close their accounts with wikileaks however there seems to be funds Assanges' case yet they are only offering Mannings lawyers £15'100, they have raised about $100'000 through other sources yet it still appears rather unsporting not to help the main seed of thier success. While Assange clearly relishes his martyr status and Skreeworld supports his work we feel Wikileaks should be helping Manning more. Besides the honour involved it would seem a poor advert for further leakers to come forward.
