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.
