Bradley Manning: National Traitor or Hero of the People?

Start: 11/07/2010 - 11:00 Timezone: Etc/GMT-5 BRADLEY MANNING SUPPORT NETWORK "Bradley Manning: National Traitor or Hero of the People?" In late May 2010 Private First Class Bradley Manning an intelligence analyst with the US Army in Baghdad was arrested. On June 6 2010 he was charged with 2 counts of violating the Uniform Code of Military Justice including eight criminal offenses and four noncriminal violations of Army regulations. His arrest was precipitated by an alleged online chat confession to well-known hacker and journalist Adrian Lamo. Since his arrest Bradley Manning has issued no formal public statements. Daniel Ellsberg the famed whistleblower behind the Pentagon Papers has heralded Pfc. Bradley Manning as a hero. We will discuss the case in detail and consider our role in supporting a man considered a traitor by some and a hero by others. The Bradley Manning Support Network is an ad hoc international grassroots effort to help accused whistle blower Pfc. Bradley Manning. ============= A PEACE AND JUSTICE CONGREGATION SINCE 1920 The Community Church of Boston is a free community of human beings united for the study and practice of universal religion seeking to apply ethical ideals to individual life and the democratic and cooperative principle to all forms of social and economic life. ============= FOR MORE INFORMATION PLEASE CONTACT US Rev.
