A Call For Mercy


I made my call.

Drop the "Aiding the Enemy" Charge Against Pfc. Manning
Call Maj. Gen. Michael Linnington: 202-685-2807
Last week, Pfc. Bradley Manning delivered a historic, personal testimony to his motivation behind leaking diplomatic cables and battlefield data to Wikileaks.
Manning explained that he had become deeply troubled by the reality of our asymmetric warfare in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as the cover-up of horrific battlefield crimes and felt similar events could only be prevented by vigorous public debate.
Call Maj. Gen. Linnington and ask him to drop the "aiding the enemy" charge against Bradley Manning.
Maj. Gen. Michael Linnington: 202-685-2807
Update: There have been reports Maj. Gen. Linnington's voicemail box is full - you can also leave a message at the DOD: (703) 571-3343
-Press "5" to leave a comment.
*If this mailbox is also full, leave the Department of Defense a written message here:https://kb.defense.gov/app/ask/session/
Sample script:
Hello, my name is ____{name}____ and I'm calling today to urge Major General Michael Linnington to drop the "aiding the enemy" charge leveled at accused whistleblower Private First Class Bradley Manning.
Manning's February 28th testimony clearly shows that his intention in leaking these documents was to inform public debate over U.S. foreign policy. The idea that Manning aided al-Qaeda because the leaked documents were published on the internet is patently absurd and sets a very dangerous precedent for journalism and whistle-blowing alike.
Please drop the aiding the enemy charge against Bradley Manning. Thank you.

Joseph Albrecht The inflammation link to cancer is backed by numerous scientific studies, including a 2011 review published in the journal  Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences  which found that up to 25 percent of all cancers are caused by chronic inflammation. According to scientists from  Ohio State University's  (OSU) Comprehensive Cancer Center, inflammation triggers an increase in a molecule known as microRNA-155 (miR-155) that causes a reduction in levels of the protein responsible for repairing damaged DNA. And what about the other 75 percent of cancers? Curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, appears to have those covered as well. Research released that same year by scientists from the  University of Texas  MD Anderson Cancer Center revealed that  curcumin  actually seeks out malignant cancer cells and alters the regulation of DNA in order to kill them. And unlike synthetic anti-cancer drugs, curcumin leaves healthy cells and DNA alone so as not to
