Legal scholars attack 'degrading' treatment of WikiLeaks soldier
A group of top legal scholars in the United States has turned the spotlight on what they say is the "degrading and inhumane" treatment of Bradley Manning, the US Army soldier, who stands accused of downloading and leaking classified cables and documents that led to the ongoing WikiLeaks affair.Following the resignation of the Interfraternity inflatable life jackets Council President Jay Trump Tuesday, a February letter from associate vice provost Jane Tuttle to individuals in IFC provided new insight into the hazing incident that led to Trump's resignation.
No fewer than 250 legal experts expressed their concern in a letter published in the New York Review of Books. Among the signatories is Laurence Tribe, the prominent law professor who until just three months ago was serving as adviser to the US Justice Department.

"The administration has provided no evidence that Manning's treatment reflects a concern for his own safety or that of other inmates," the letter states. "Unless and until it does so,A built-in dock is attached to the battery and when DSTT not in use folds up in a nice compact manner to about half the size of the iPhone itself. there is only one reasonable inference: this pattern of degrading treatment aims either to deter future whistleblowers, or to force Manning to implicate WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange in a conspiracy,IFC was placed on two-year probation in February following an incident led tube of hazing that occurred after an IFC ceremony in November. or both."
