speaking truth to power (from the seat of power)

Dear (Former) State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley: Fucking Good On You.

Debate over the controversial treatment of alleged WikiLeaks source Bradley Manning apparently has cost State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley his job.

[...]

Manning’s treatment since being arrested last May and charged with providing thousands of classified documents – many of them diplomatically embarrassing – has been the subject of considerable debate.

He’s being held in solitary confinement 23 hours a day in a windowless 6-by-12-foot cell, and for a time he was stripped naked at night – due to concerns about the possibility of suicide, according to defense officials.

If only someone with the government was willing to put morals above their career when it came to Guantanamo Bay.
