Bradley Manning supporters march on news of pre-trial hearing in SF

On November 21st, the US Army scheduled an Article 32 pretrial hearing
for PFC Bradley Manning, the Army intelligence specialist accused of
releasing classified material to WikiLeaks. The pretrial hearing will
commence on December 16th at Fort Meade, Maryland. This will be PFC
Manning’s first appearance before a court after 18 months of pretrial
confinement. Bradley is a 23-year-old, openly gay soldier who faces
life in prison. He is accused of sharing the following with WikiLeaks:
a video of the killing of civilians by a US helicopter in Iraq, the
Guantanamo Files, the Afghan War Diary, the Iraq War Logs and
revealing US diplomatic cables. In short, he's been charged with
telling the truth about controversial wars, foreign policies and
corporate and government corruption and tyranny. Supporters rallied
and marched last night, November 22nd, to support Bradley along Market
Street in San Francisco.
