49] – Vigil for alleged WikiLeaks source Bradley Manning outside the main gate at Fort Meade, Maryland 175 & Reece Rd, Fort Meade, MD 21113 starting on Wed., June 6 continuing through Fri., June 8 -- 8 to 10 AM. Hold a sign or banner. Hear a dramatic reading of the chat logs in solidarity with other actions worldwide. Supporters are encouraged to attend the court martial motions hearing, scheduled for June 6, 7 and 8 at 9 AM. Go to http://www.bradleymanning.org/news/join-us-at-fort-meade-md-june-6-8th-to-support-bradley-manning. Do you need a ride, or can you offer one to others!



To attend the hearing, go to the Fort Meade Visitor Control Center. You should arrive an hour before proceedings are set to begin; if you arrive late, you should still be able to get into the courtroom later in the morning. Bradley’s lawyer, David Coombs, has expressed how both he and his client very much appreciate the presence of supporters in the courtroom.



At the hearing the government will attempt to ban any discussion of whether harm was or was not caused to the U.S. from future court proceedings, saying it could neither help nor hurt either argument. This would prevent the defense from accessing government-commissioned assessments of the impacts of WikiLeaks’ releases. Neither the content nor the conclusions of these assessments have been made public, despite the public’s obvious interest in this information.



50] – On Wed., June 6 from 8 to 9 AM, the Congressional Breakfast Seminar Series will host Christopher Ford, Hudson Institute, "Verification of Nuclear Agreements," and Jeff Klinger, "North Korean Denuclearization" at the Capitol Hill Club, 300 First St. SE, WDC 20003.
