Re: Story on Bradley Manning

Hi Haytham,

Thanks for your reply this is great. Can you outline for me the following:

1) what you do know about the case

2) Specifics that you are aware of regarding your review of court documents

3) a bit about the process of his trial

4) The fairness of his trial in your opinion and expertise of military law especially in regard to the more serious charges against him.

If you could do this via email this would be great. Also let me know how you would prefer to be identified if I quote you directly and if this is ok with you?

Thanks for all your help.

Jesse

Hi Jesse,

I have no familiarity with the case except that which I have heard and my review of court documents. I Was interviewed by BBC as an expert on military law and the process that PFC manning will undergo in the next few days.

Dear Haytham,

Thank you for your response. If you can answer a few questions about the case this would be great. Before I send you questions I just need to know in what ways you are familiar with the case. So I know what questions you could best answer.

Has the BBC interview been released? Is their a link to this?

I'm also trying to reach someone within the Manning family or the defense council? If you can be of help in this regard I would greatly appreciate this.

As well if you have any other recommendations for people involved that I have not mentioned? Thanks again for your help.

Kind Regards,
Jesse

Hi Haytham
How are you?
One of our reporters, Jesse Long (ccd) is writing a piece on the Bradley case with court hearings strating this Friday.
He has tried to contact the lawyers
If you know of anyone who can be a good source for Jesse to speak to about this case (both within and without the military) that would be great.
warm regards from Beirut
