 but an opportunity for every individual who feels an inner tug of respect 
 or empathy for Bradley Manning to let him know he’s not alone.  Learn the 
 authentic truth of what he did, and why, and his ensuing lousy plight. 
 Then, if you have the pulse for it, put your name on a card of support for 
 the man Glenn Greenwald deems, "a whistle-blower acting with the noblest of 
 motives" and "a national hero similar to Daniel Ellsberg."  We'll do our 
 best to put it in Bradley’s hands – as something like a Valentine.    
 — Bob Baldock, KPFA Events Producer  \n\nDaniel Ellsberg says, “The 
 commander-in-chief, President Obama, gave Manning ‘verdict first, trial 
 later.’ He said Manning had broken the law, before even the prosecution 
 case had been heard, let alone the defense case. He said he was 
 guilty…That alone is virtually a directed verdict. It’s unlawful 
 command influence on the subordinate officers, who will be carrying out 
 both this decision, and later in the trial. The court martial should be out 
 for that reason alone. “\n\nTruth and Consequences probes not just the 
 life and global impact of Bradley Manning, the U.S. Army private accused of 
 leaking classified information to Wikileaks, but also the court martial 
 proceedings begun in 2012 against him. \n\n“Mitchell and Gosztola have 
 provided, from the start, some of the most important coverage of Wikileaks 
 and Bradley Manning. They have shined a bright light on Manning’s 
 courageous whistle-blowing and often brutal incarceration – and now in 
 this timely and vital book they raise many serious questions surrounding 
 all of that, and the new legal maneuvers against him.” — Daniel 
 Ellsberg\n\nKevin Gosztola is co-author of the book Truth and Consequences: 
 The US vs. Bradley Manning and a writer for Firedoglake.com. He regularly 
 covers WikiLeaks, whistleblowing, the US drone program, the surveillance 
 state and various civil liberties issues. He has been regularly traveling 
 to Fort Meade in Maryland to cover the legal proceedings against Manning 
 and has appeared on "Democracy Now!", "The Young Turks" on Current TV, 
 HuffPost Live, FAIR's "CounterSpin" radio program, Free Speech Radio News, 
 and others.\nDaniel Ellsberg, the former U.S. military analyst who secretly 
 released the Pentagon Papers, is the author of Secrets: A Memoir of Vietnam 
 and the Pentagon Papers. He was deemed “The Most Dangerous Man in 
 America” in the outstanding 2009 documentary film by Judith Ehrlich and 
 Rick Goldsmith.\n\nPatricia Marx Ellsberg, Daniel’s wife, was a 
 nationally syndicated reporter for public radio and an opponent of the 
 Vietnam War when she first dated Ellsberg, who was working at the Pentagon, 
 in 1965. Patricia is a social-change advocate with decades of experience in 
 the peace and energy movements. She often speaks with her husband at 
 anti-war and anti-nuclear events. A practicing Buddhist, she teaches and 
 writes on the subject. \n\n\n
