Bradley Manning had not yet had his day in court or the opportunity to declare his innocence in front of a military courtroom and present his case, yet his Commander-in-Chief prematurely pronounced him guilty by proclaiming "he broke the law".

::::::::

Bradley Manning had been denied his constitutional right for a fair trial - he was held in solitary confinement as if presumed guilty, under extreme, harsh conditions amounting to torture of an American citizen, and a military court could not possibly render a fair judgement in his case having already been unduly influenced by their Commander-in-Chief saying in a matter of fact manner that "he broke the law".  

Petition to President and Congress to pardon Bradley Manning - dismiss all charges.

Authors Bio:

Lance Ciepiela is a retired senior who had an interesting career in government service - a United States Marine Corps (USMC) Vietnam-Era veteran, who became interested in restoring the Constitution after I realized that W Bush had attacked Iraq on false pretense and got away with it. First thing I asked myself on 9/11 as the two planes smashed into the Twin Towers was - "where are the interceptors"? - this could not have been a terrorist attack with NORAD nowhere in sight to defend our skies not even at the Pentagon. My hope (Hope is a Great Source of Strength - Simon Murray) for restoring the Constitution is that Congress, the White House, and Justice Department, will get back to the "rule of law" by bringing W Bush to justice under our laws and treaties - and every Representative and Senator in Congress, and the President, would finally arrive at the "third stage" of accepting the truth about 9/11 = "knew it all along", was preset explosives and precisely timed demolitions going off in all three towers and was not the office fires or the two planes that brought the three towers down like the officials said.
