We can only hope and pray that the beast eats it's own tail in the next 5 -10 years and Bradley manning , Leonard Peltier etc can literally walk out of the jails that hold them and into a completely changed world. Because if the present paradigm continues as it is then god help us all , barring a complete sea change in politics , law and modern civilisation people like Bradley are very unlikely to see justice.
