For Some Value of "Magic": Bradley Manning's Post-Sentencing Statement

For Some Value of "Magic": Bradley Manning's Post-Sentencing Statement:

"Our nation has had similar dark moments for the virtues of democracy—the Trail of Tears, the Dred Scott decision, McCarthyism, the Japanese-American internment camps—to name a few. I am confident that many of our actions since 9/11 will one day be viewed in a similar light. "

Thanks to Steve Holden for posting the statement. It's well worth reading in its entirety.
