I wonder if he could be considered a journalist?

FORT MEADE, Md. -- A hearing (click here) to determine whether Army Pfc. Bradley Manning should face charges of illegally releasing thousands of classified U.S. military documents opened Friday with the defense questioning the presiding officer’s objectivity....

The hearing Mr. Manning is facing is a military hearing and his attorney sees the first approach as a conflict of interest.  Mr. Manning's attorney, Dr. David Coombs states the presiding officer, Lt. Col. Paul Almanza, as someone who cannot remove himself from a pre-determined outcome.  When asked to recuse himself the Colonel saw the request as preposterous.


The Manning Family has been overseeing Bradley's return to the USA and vigilant to his wellness and treatment.  Kindly support the family and bring justice to Bradley.
