Last week and this week has been the pre-trial Article 32 hearing for the brave whistleblower Pfc. Bradley Manning. I am proud that OccupyDC joined the rally last Saturday demanding Bradley's freedom. The military wants to put this great gay American behind bars for life. His crime? Reporting war crimes and widespread government corruption, which helped light the fire of the Arab Spring. That in turn inspired Occupy here in the states.
