Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5Minor quibble with your phraseology
"Harsh Treatment" is nothing but a euphemism for TORTURE
calling it "Harsh Treatment" is just playing their game
The ever-increasing rate of corruption of language the world has experienced recently is one of the weapons in the arsenal of the Elite.
Can we here at Indy.ie at least not engage, however unwittingly, in that game too ?
Otherwise we're playing by their rules
And when we allow ourselves to be conned into playing by the rules set by our opponents we will always lose.
I didn't write the article. If you have a problem with the terminology take it up with the author. The piece above supplied important information.
Em...it's fair comment as you actively chose to post this particular wired article as opposed to something more balanced. I agree with the previous poster. "Harsh treatment" is when you shout at and smack your dog once for peeing on the floor.
A year or more in solitary, sleep deprivation, enforced nudity with one 20 minute assisted walk in heavy shackles per day, not to mention messing with the thermostat etc amounts to more than "harsh treatment" and it is more than "allegedly illegal" to do so, not to mention without charge, for so long.
Wired are colluding in what is clearly a transparent attempt in a widely read MSM publication to emphasise words like "harsh treatment" and "alllegedly illegal" rather than plain old "torture" to attenuate the perception of severity of bradley manning's treatment amongst the general public, especially in the geek community where more sympathy towards somebody like Bradley might exist.
Watch out for plenty of other MSM outlets using the exact same attenuating weasel wording. Indy should refer to it in words that convey it as the deliberate systematic extended borderline torture it was.
I think you should maybe at the very least change the headline accordingly if you must quote a conservative MSM mouthpiece like "wired". Preferably don't link to this consumerist cheerleader rag at all?
wired often posts insidious crap like this:
http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2012/12/iran-captures-d...rone/
propagating the fake "norm" that Iran is a nuclear threat
and this government propaganda press release on Syria:
http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2012/12/syria-chemical-...ns-3/
no doubt attempting to build grass roots public support for US intervention if necessary
and this very misleading "headline propaganda" aimed at, guess who? Wikileaks protector Ecuador of course.
http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/12/security-post-la...jail/
What a coincidence! It was misleading because later in the article it emerges that Correja personally intervened to let him go stating "he had nothing to hide and that “I give permission to publish all my data.”.
But they know very well that more often than not people often don't read more than the headline in a political story.
And that's just some of the current front page. It's a publication peppered with insidious propaganda.

The Boiling Frogs Show Presents Chase Madar
Author and attorney Chase Madar joins us to discuss and evaluate the latest developments in the pretrial of Bradley Manning, including his sadistic and unlawful treatment by the government, the politics and legal maneuvers of the court system, and the ugly role played by the US mainstream media. We talk about the silence of the liberals and congressional inaction in Manning’s case, President Obama’s hypocrisy and his legacy as the worst president in US history when it comes to secrecy, whistleblowing and truth-telling, and much more.
