Military on trial for wrongful secrecy
/On October 10th, we encourage Washington, D.C. residents to attend the
Center for Constitutional Right’s lawsuit against the military for undue
secrecy in the Bradley Manning trial. /

A confused press pool at the Bradley Manning trial. Court room sketch by
Clark Stoeckley.
The Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) is bringing a lawsuit calling
for Army Colonel Judge Denise Lind to grant the press and public access
to court filings, such as defense and government motions, court orders
and judge’s decisions or rulings.
The CCR’s argument will be heard October 10 at 10:15 am at the military
appeals court located in Washington, DC. In a statement, the CCR has
put forth the argument that the “default presumption against
transparency serves no one’s interests – least of all the interests of
the government, which will see the legitimacy of any conviction
questioned if the current status quo prevails.”
CCR has sent representatives to Bradley’s hearings a number of times.
We encourage all those who support Bradley Manning, and freedom of
information, to also attend the court proceedings for CCR’s litigation
on October 10th, wearing “Truth” t-shirts or “Free Bradley Manning”
messages if possible.

More reports from the September 6 actions for Bradley
/Outraged over recent revelations that a three star general was
responsible for the unlawful pretrial punishment of Bradley Manning,
activists took action nationally, organizing a number of demonstrations
in front of Obama campaign offices around the country. Protesters
demanded that Obama uphold his promise to protect whistle-blowers, and
that he make right on his unlawful influence on the Bradley Manning trial./
