There in lies the problem. How do you know that he is a traitor? In your
mind he is already convicted. If he does admit to charges of
unauthorised use and disclosure of classified information, his
confession could reasonably be expected to be throw out because of
torture. Because of torture, people will say anything.


Bradley Manning's lawyer complained about his treatment, and
characterized it as torture.

The United Nations special rapporteur on torture has launched an
investigation into the U.S. militaryıs treatment of Bradley Manning, the
Army private accused of leaking classified material to WikiLeaks.
Manning has been held in solitary confinement since May. His attorney
has claimed confinement has been in violation of a military rule against
"pretrial punishment." Friends and family of Manning say his mental and
physical health has been deteriorating.
