Thoughts on The Other Bradley Manning: Jeremy Hammond Faces Life Term for WikiLeaks and Hacked Stratfor Emails

I'm thrilled to see Michael Ratner, president emeritus of the Center for Constitutional Rights (representing Julian Assange), on Democracy Now explaining exactly why Jeremy Hammond should not be in jail.

"So, here, look at this situation. You have the judge; her husband has been hacked. Her husband’s email is accessible. And she is sitting on the case of the very person who they allege hacked into that email account. Well, the rules seem to me very clear in federal court, that if there’s any appearance of impropriety, appearance of—you know, of a closeness to the case, that basically you have to recuse yourself from being a judge in the case. You have to do it automatically, even if the—even if the defendant doesn’t make a motion. Think about it" (Ratner).

I can't help but wish Jeremy wasn't referred to as "The Other" anybody. He's Jeremy Hammond. 

It's sad that more people don't know who he is, and hopefully the title of the article will raise awareness about Hammond's situation and the completely unfair bail denial. Maybe then we will finally live in a world where as many people are outraged about this situation (Wikileaks, Stratfor, Hammond, Manning, Judge Preska, etc) as they are about whatever NFL issue people are currently upset about.

* I don't even know if there is some NFL issue going on at the moment, but I'm sure some football player will get suspended for something soon just in case people need something to GIVE A FUCK ABOUT.

"A genuinely conscious web developer, Jeremy Hammond is accused of using his computer savvy to attack conservative groups and State operators. He is being charged with providing Wikileaks the documents for their latest Stratfor release" ~ #FreeHammond

I hope more people will visit Free Hammond Dot Org and learn about how they can support Jeremy.
