SEAL to testify at Breanna Manning’s trial
ROS sends a link to SkyNews which reports that a member of the SEAL Team which got bin Laden will testify at Breanna Manning’s trial that the documents that he released to Wikileaks aided the enemy;
Defence lawyers had argued that proof of receipt is not relevant to whether Manning aided the enemy.
The judge disagreed, saying the government “must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that intelligence was both given to and received by the enemy”.
The witness has been publicly identified only as “John Doe” and as a Defence Department “operator”, a designation given to Seals.
Prosecutors say he participated with Seal Team Six in their May 2011 assault on the compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, in which the terrorist leader was killed.
His testimony would help establish a chain of custody for the evidence from its recovery to its analysis by a computer expert.
That’s “SEALs”, SkyNews, they aren’t aquatic mammals. Or something. But then, they’re having trouble spelling “Defense”, too.

….Aaaaaaaaand that’s gonna be it for Breanna. If I thought that little weasel had any sense of honor left. I’d suggest they leave a .45 with one round on the table and tell him to do the right thing.

So, if it’s proved that the information provided by Manning to Wikileaks ended up in the hands of OSB, are we going to be able to go after that pasty-white fungus Assange?
The spelling: Defence. That’s a Freudian slip if I ever saw one.
Defencing is removing all barriers to invasion. Heeheehee! Now we know what the LSM is REALLY up to.
I think Jonn is being sarcastic, but yeah “defence” is the proper spelling in British English…just looks plain weird no matter how many times I see it. Like how they pronounce Lieutenant as “Leftenant”. Other examples:
Theater = Theatre
Color = Colour
Offense = Offence
Center = Centre
Bank = Banque
Check = Cheque
Tire = Tyre
Devtun, I know. I was having some fun with it. The Brits also say shedule instead of skedule. Eisenhower once asked Montgomery if he said shool instead of school.
I though Seal, the singer was testifying.
Gaaaaaaaaaaaad damit. Sealy is testifying!
[…] Army recruiter shoots prospect/possible paramour, then self. […]
@4 – While serving with the Brits in Iraq, I heard one excuse himself saying, “Well lads, I’m off to douche and have a fag.”
We almost fell out of our chairs laughing.
(We later found out that translated to he was going to wash up and smoke a cigarette.)
Guess you had to be there.
