Kevin Gosztola has done some good reporting work...glad to see a book out about Bradley Manning.

How little attention Manning gets. But, then..there's just so much else that's "attention grabbing" these days that War and what it's done..all these years just seems like "background noise" and not as important as the News of the Day...when so much else that's horrific is happening.
