"This young man risked everything to reveal war crimes being committed by his government."
-- Joanne H., Columbia, MD

"I feel Manning was acting in the spirit of the Nuremberg trials in taking individual responsibility for illegal activities that he was witnessing."
-- Nick W., Point Reyes, CA

"I've personally been inspired by Bradley Manning's courage and moral dignity. His actions and character give me hope that the world can be a safer and more just place for everyone."
-- Brock D., Pittsburgh, PA

"The modern version of Daniel Ellsberg deserves the honor his efforts warrant!"
-- Doug W., Reno, NV

-- William C., Sherman Oaks, CA

"People who expose atrocities for the sake of humanity deserve to be publicly honored."
-- Veda S., Camano Island, WA

-- Leo S., Chesterfield, NH

"He is definitely deserving! He did an extremely courageous thing. It's wrong that he is detained and tortured. Awarding him this prize is the least we can do."
-- Patricia M., Denver, CO

"As clear a choice as Jesus Christ. (And I'm not religious.)"
-- Kenneth K., Highland Park, IL

"This man is a hero for exposing the evil practices of our Government. We're guaranteed a transparent Government, but what we get is shadowy deals, evil bargains, and more. We need to get back to basic principles of doing what's right."

"What an appropriate and great idea the Nobel Peace Prize for Bradley Manning!"

"I believe him to be one of the heroes of this country. Unfortunately The Media is owned by vested interests in this country, so the rank and file Americans only believe what they are told to believe, so because he and Julian Assange embarrassed the powers that be his heroics will never be widely known or appreciated."
-- Thomas C., Albuquerque, NM

"Bringing covert actions and diplomatic operations out into the open helps make all governments and corporations better actors on the world stage."
-- Greg C., Austin, TX
