Bradley Manning: O Superman!

A traitor? To me Bradley will always be my innocent 'Superman': Devastated British mother of convicted Wikileaks soldier talks for the first time

Mail On Sunday.

Umm... the Mail haven't actually spoken to Bradley's mum, just his aunt.
The quotes from his mother, Susan Manning, come from a statement meant for Bradley.
Also includes a handy sidebar, 'How Bradley Broke The News That He Was Gay'.
"His aunt Sharon recalled how Bradley, pictured above with ex-boyfriend Tyler Watkins, told her after she asked him why he was always holding a white seal cuddly toy..."
Adorable.
The Bradley Manning saga depoliticised and rewritten as sentimental crap for Daily Mail readers.
'"My poor boy!" - It's a story that will touch every mother's heart...' etc etc.
