Would you pardon Chelsea (Bradley) Manning

[Nhoj]

Yes, for humanitarian reasons and that's the US government should do if still has some rest of decency. As others have said, torture neither is admissible nor is constitutional.

So do you support letting anyone who has been put in solitary out of prison? just because its humanitarian? because he faced nothing different than many others have.

Of course im not really in favor of the solitary system, but just because its wrong doesn't mean anyone who has been put there should be let out of prison totally.

"Solitary system" is a nice euphemism for torture. Nobody deserves to stay in an animal cage (8 square feet or 2.43 square meters) 23 hours a day, forced to sleep naked and other brutalities which have had enough diffusion. Even the most sane person would have thoughts of suicide in these circumstances but, perversely enough, the risk of suicide was used as the excuse to humiliate the prisoner even more. That confinement was previous to the trial, so the prisoner wasn't officially a traitor. It's not humanitarian at all and is a shame for any civilized country. Manning should be released, yes.

Well it is a system a system of torture and lets be frank any form of imprisonment is torture, even if SHU is much more so.  But you failed to answer the question posed, should prisoners subjected to solitary torture, be released because it is inhumane to do? or just manning because he is special.
