Various protests and rallies were held around the world this past week and last weekend for Bradley Manning, the U.S. soldier accused of leaking the embarrassing diplomatic cables, the classified documents about the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, and the 'Collateral Murder' video to WikiLeaks.
On Sunday about 35 of the more than 400 people in attendance, including Pentagon Papers leaker Daniel Ellsberg and Retired Army Col. Ann Wright, were arrested while protesting outside the Quantico Marine Corps Base in Virginia, where Manning is being held in solitary confinement 23 hours a day in a windowless 6-by-12-foot cell, shackled and forced to sleep either naked or in a suicide-proof smock due to supposed fears that he may commit suicide.

U.S. Ambassador to Mexico, Carlos Pascual, has resigned after the President of Mexico, Felipe Calderon, expressed his lack of trust in the diplomat and demanded his removal because of his comments in the leaked U.S. diplomatic cables that were published by WikiLeaks.
The cables written by Pascual and sent to Washington criticized the Mexican government’s anti-drug fight, criticised the Mexican authorities’ ability to tackle the country’s organised crime problem and angered President Calderon.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who is still under house arrest, appeared last night and spoke to members of the Cambridge Union Society at Cambridge University.

It is the largest society at the University of Cambridge, one of the oldest student debating societies in the world, and has developed a worldwide reputation as a symbol of free speech and open debate.
Over 700 students showed up at the Union to see Assange, who was making his first public appearance in months, besides court dates. Some people waited over 2 hours for the doors to open. No journalists except student journalists from the university's two papers were allowed in, organizers kept the rest out.

Anonymous Supports Bradley Manning
By Jerry Smith Mar 14 2011
assangewatch.blogspot.com
While Julian Assange and WikiLeaks still haven't released their cache of secret documents, supposedly significant enough to "take down a bank or two", from the hard drive of a U.S. megabank executive, the internet group known as Anonymous has obtained documents they say will be released that pertain to the issue of whether Bank of America (BofA) has improperly foreclosed on homes and documents that expose "corruption and fraud" at BofA.
Anonymous has previously engaged in damaging denial of service attacks on major American corporations Pay Pal, Mastercard and Visa because they removed the ability for users to donate to Wikileaks via their services, and now they have set their sites on the families of the soldiers at the Quantico marine corps base to show their support for US soldier Bradley Manning.
