“Manning: Well, it was forwarded to [WikiLeaks] - and god knows what happens now - hopefully worldwide discussion, debates, and reforms - if not, than [sic] we're doomed - as a species - I will officially give up on the society we have if nothing happens - people who saw, knew there was something wrong . . . I want people to see the truth… regardless of who they are… because without information, you cannot make informed decisions as a public.”

Unconvicted
On a Military brig
In Quantico,Virginia

Caged
In a 6 by 12 foot cell
23 hours each day

Checked by faceless guards every five minutes
Solitary confinement

Barred from exercising muscles
Denied pillow, sheets, pajamas
Forced to report naked each morning to guards

Glasses confiscated
Left in blindness

Seeing visions
Hearing voices
Words disappearing
