The above link is to an 11 min Youtube clip edited by Maria of the 40 minute
stand off and arrest of Ciaron O'Reilly of the London CW, Steve Jacobs of
the Columbia Missouri CW and Frank Cordaro of the Des Moines Iowa CW.
It includes speeches made
by all three Catholic Workers (CW'ers) explaining to the crowd of
tourists why they were blocking the entrance to the Prime Minister's
residence and why they were willing to risk arrest. They share with
the crowd who Bradley Manning is and why Manning needs peoples
support. They talk about the current USA and English lead wars and why
peace makers must move beyond talk to active nonviolent resistance to
end these wars. They are joined by New York City CW'er Carmen Trotta
who helps to explain to the passing tourists why his friends are risking arrest
to bring attention to Bradley Manning's case. Throughout the 11 min
video clip the London police try to talk the protesting CW'ers into
leaving the site. The clip ends with the three CW'ers being arrested
and escorted off site and across the street from the Prime Ministers
residence.

Wales A25 Solidarity with Bradley Manning at the Green Fair

Wales A25 Solidarity with Bradley Manning at the Green Fair
 http://bradleymanningcymru.wordpress.com/

Bradley's mother, aunt and maternal family are from Wales. They presently live in Wales.
The F.B.I. made their way to the village of the Manning family after Bradley's arrest in Iraq and transfer to military prison in the U.S. (The Guardian)

Bradley spent 4 years at high school in Wales, before returning to initially live with his father in the U.S.

There is a growing solidarity with Bradley Manning growing in Wales........ this is their website

CanUhave fair military hearing whenCommander-in-Chief has already decreed guilt?

26.04.2011 13:21

How can Manning possibly expect to receive a fair hearing from military officers when their Commander-in-Chief has already decreed his guilt?

the video:
 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfmtUpd4id0

The transcript:
OBAMA: So people can have philosophical views [about Bradley Manning] but I can’t conduct diplomacy on an open source [basis]… That’s not how the world works.

And if you’re in the military… And I have to abide by certain rules of classified information. If I were to release material I weren’t allowed to, I’d be breaking the law.

We’re a nation of laws! We don’t let individuals make their own decisions about how the laws operate. He broke the law.

[Q: Didn't he release evidence of war crimes?]

OBAMA: What he did was he dumped…

[Q: Isn't that just the same thing as what Daniel Ellsberg did?]

OBAMA: No it wasn’t the same thing. Ellsberg’s material wasn’t classified in the same way.
