"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken

"Recently, best-selling author Chris Hedges announced his resignation from PEN, a prominent international writers’ organization. That resignation was partially motivated by the fact that while PEN purports to speak on behalf of dissidents, it’s been completely silent regarding the US government’s imprisonment, torture, and abuse of military whistleblower Bradley Manning."

The article starts out with the Bradly Manning issue then seems to meander all over the place regarding other human rights violations. I was under the belief we would be looking at Bradley Manning. As far as I am concerned, governmen weasels or not whe Bradley signed up he performed an oath to protect the secrets of the U.S. He failed to carry out his duties. Ergo he got what he's got. For the life of me I don't see where :Whistle Blower is connected.
