"Let this kid go. As a Vietnam vet I say put Cheney, Rumsfeld and Bush in jail. They actually got people killed -- for nothing. And I mean nothing."
-- Ken L., Pinehurst, NC

"I thought we would learn from Vietnam, but we did not. Exporting war for profit has to end, and Manning's courage must not be forgotten."
-- Roger S., York, PA

-- Frederick C., Montclair, NJ

-- Eric W., Austin, TX

"According to U.S. military brass, it is ok to commit war crimes but it is not ok to expose them. Giving Bradley Manning the Nobel Peace Prize will give hope to millions of peace loving people around the world. Please consider it."
-- Ali M., Princeton, NJ

"I suppose this enters me into a database somewhere, but this man deserves our thanks for revealing the lurid backstory of diplomacy and the hypocrisy of our "leaders' (and I use that term loosely). This country needs the truth."
