Congressman Dennis Kucinich, Reader Supported News
“Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) yesterday wrote to Defense Secretary
Robert Gates asking for information about reports that the Army ignored
evidence of the mental health problems of Pfc. Bradley Manning, the soldier
accused of leaking classified information to WikiLeaks. Kucinich also asked
for confirmation and explanation of reports that the Army is holding Pfc.

contribute a violation of the his Eighth Amendment right of protection from
‘cruel and unusual’ punishment.”

the leading players and institutions that produced the national catastrophe.
But there is one glaring omission – the massive fraud that occurred on Wall
Street.”
