Dear Ambassador Rooney
As there was no other link for a direct e-mail on general matters, I am doing two jobs with the one e-mail
1) Letting you know that there is no other way to contact you - a fault of the website
2) I am asking you to request the President to intervene in the Bradley Manning trial to have Bradley released immediately.
Whistle-blowers are an absolute necessity for a democratic and just society. They should be protected by law whenever they expose wrongdoing
Whistle-blowers who expose a war crime, as Bradley has done, should be protected and honoured by any President who believes in a just society. The link [below] shows that war crime clearly in Iraq. Bradley was a witness. Innocent people were mowed down from a United States helicopter and Bradley Manning was a witness to that war crime. He did the right thing and became a whistle-blower. President Obama must release him.
It is shameful that Bradley Manning has been tortured in prison and that the President has broken all rules of fairness by declaring Bradley guilty before his case was heard by a court.
It is also shameful and treacherous that the people of the United States have been unable to see the shocking video that can be seen everywhere else in the world.
I am requesting you to ask President Obama to do the right thing now and release this brave man.
With best personal wishes
