Ya know, if I were the lawyer for the traitorous dickweed Bradley Manning, I wouldn't be using a tactic that is straight out of the al Queda manual for detainees. 

It may not be in the best interests of your client to make the same false claims of torture that al Queda captives are taught to make when they are captured as well.   Makes it look like there may be a link between Bradley Manning and say, al Queda. 

Just saying.
