According to the article Bradley Manning’s Military Doctors Accused Over Treatment published on the UK Guardian’s web site:
Official records kept at the brig, released recently by Manning’s lawyer, reveal that between last August and January military psychiatrists made no fewer than 16 recommendations to their military commanders that Manning should be taken off the PoI restrictions because he was no threat to himself.
Only once in that five-month period did the psychiatrists conclude that the prisoner should be subjected to the restrictions. Despite the clear medical opinion given, brig commanders have repeatedly ignored the advice and retained the harsh regime. That is, Physicians for Human Rights says, an indication the US government is breaking its own clear rules.
The accusation against the doctors is that they are not doing enough to prevent the mistreatment of Bradley Manning.
President Obama’s defense of this treatment verges on the criminal. Had I known we would be electing George Bush lite, I never would have voted for Obama. What a disappointment he has turned out to be.
