Bradley Manning: Brave Little Monster

This is NOT an April Fool's joke: There's an online campaign underway to get Lady Gaga to speak up for Bradley Manning due to the "special role" she played in helping him allegedly leak all those documents to WikiLeaks. If you've forgotten, he claimed, in the chat logs, that he used a thumb drive that supposedly held Lady Gaga songs as his "cover." See report on that here. Group at Brave Little Monster is getting people to send her tweets or Facebook message imploring her to act...

From The Nation blog of Gregg Mitchell, author of the newly published Bradley Manning: Truth And Consequences.
Lady Gaga won the SLDN's Randy Shilts Award last month for her work in support of lesbians and gay men in the US military - let's hope she stands by and speaks up for this particular great gay man, Private Bradley Manning.

• By happenchance April 9th-10th is Bradley Manning Support Weekend - "a call to socially conscious artists and organizers across the country and world to propel Bradley Manning to pop-culture status through artistic expression before he goes to trial".
Get creative and that!
