DESCRIPTION:$12 advance tickets: 800-838-3006 or Pegasus Books (3 locations), Marcus 
 Books, Mrs. Dalloway's, Moe's Books, Walden Pond, DIESEL, A Bookstore, and 
 Modern Times  ($15 door) \n\nNote: This is not only a book event, 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\nKevin Gosztola is co-author of the book 
 Truth and Consequences: The US vs. Bradley Manning and a writer for 
 Firedoglake.com. \n\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. \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.\n
