Berkeley may honor Army private accused of leaks

Post by Bushwack »

BERKELEY, Calif. – The Berkeley City Council will consider a resolution that would declare the Army private suspected of leaking classified information to WikiLeaks a hero and call for his release.

The council plans a vote Tuesday on the resolution in support of Pfc. Bradley Manning, who is being held in a military brig in Virginia. A city commission already has approved it.

Bob Meola, who authored the resolution, tells the San Francisco Chronicle that Manning is a patriot who deserves a medal.

Federal officials have criticized the leaks, saying they could endanger lives.

Leaders of the famously left-leaning city have weighed in on controversial national issues before, including votes to advise that a Marine recruitment office wasn't welcome downtown and to force local compliance with United Nations human rights treaties.

Predictable, but still very sad and enraging. God forbid these cowards take a second to honor the 600 Californian's and Real Patriots who have this far been KIA in OIF/OEF.

Update:

BERKELEY, Calif. — The Berkeley City Council put off a vote on whether to bestow hero status on a soldier who allegedly released classified information to WikiLeaks.

The city council of this famously liberal Northern California city voted Tuesday to indefinitely postpone a decision on a resolution praising Pfc. Bradley Manning, the Army intelligence analyst at the center of the Wikileaks furor.

Some council members were concerned about the way the resolution was written and wanted more time to investigate.

Probably wasn't written derogatorily enough.
