Hollywood shows itself stupid again...

I have no particular tolerance for hypocrites that inflect the left in general and Hollywood in particular. Latest case in point, "I am Bradley Manning".


From Breitbart:
HOLLYWOOD CELEBS: 'I AM BRADLEY MANNING'

On Tuesday, Hollywood celebrities released a teaser video defending alleged traitorous soldier Private Bradley Manning, who is accused of leaking classified documents to Julian Assange of Wikileaks.

“I am Bradley Manning,” the celebrities proclaim. The video stars Oliver Stone, Russell Brand, Peter Sarsgaard, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Moby, Wallace Shawn – and even some leftist journalists like Matt Taibbi, Phil Donahue, and Chris Hedges.

“It’s very hard for a lower-level soldier to turn on his officers and say, ‘There was a war crime here,’” says Stone, a Fidel Castro sympathizer, to the camera.

Then the various actors read, quick cut style, “If you saw incredible things, awful things, things that belonged in the public domain and not in some server stored in some dark room in Washington, D.C., what would you do? What would you do?”

Tom Morello finishes: “If you know nothing about Bradley Manning, you should find out, and then you should help me bust him out of jail.”

Don't worry Tommy, you won't have to wait long. I know this piece of human excitement will get off with a few years and be the latest celeb de jour so you can make yourself feel good. As a retired Army intelligence officer I would only say he's already gotten off. He should be charged with treason. If there was real justice after conviction, the court martial would end with these words, "You will be transferred to the Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth to await execution at a date to be determined. May God have mercy on your soul."

Then again, he's only looked for guidance from his commander in chief.
