    @chrhnk Thank you, Christine. It was truly a day in Hell, but nothing like what Bradley is going through; must keep perspective.

  11. DavidFPowell
    Journalists DEPENDENT on military briefing after 62 audio/video blackout in 3-hours of legal proceedings. The briefing "Connects the Dots."
  12. DavidFPowell
    Good morning. We're poised in the press pool. #FreeBrad #freebradleymanning
  13. DavidFPowell
    Some atmosphere: All media met in an outer parking lot, cars were sniffed by dogs, I.D.s checked, then in a convoy, we were escorted by 1/2
  14. DavidFPowell
    ..police cars (1 front, 1 back) with sirens and flashing lights through the highways within Ft. Meade. Traffic was stopped Think Prez escort
  15. DavidFPowell
    Again about 15 reporters in the press pool. Same faces Lunch menus distributed, though we don't expect to be here very long today #FreeBrad
  16. DavidFPowell
    It's imp. to remember that because of the 62 a/v blackouts Tuesday, journos were dependent on the military briefing at days end. #FreeBrad
  17. DavidFPowell
    Actual hearing start time is 10:00 A.M. EDT (15:00 BST) We tweet/report before, during breaks, and immediately afterward. #bradleymanning
  18. DavidFPowell
    Next hearings: 6-8 June, 16-20 July, 27-31 Aug., 19-20 Sept. Trial dates: 21 Sept.--12 Oct. #FreeBrad #freebradleymanning Ft. Meade I guess
  19. DavidFPowell
    @KaiWargalla @kgosztola are offering excellent reporting, as well, today. #FreeBrad #freebradleymanning Please follow us and retweet Thanks
  20. DavidFPowell
    I-Kid-you-not: On Tuesday, a mainstream media person actually asked the military brief-er to come over and check her work (!) #FreeBrad
  21. DavidFPowell
    A MSM (mainstream media) person in front of me is reading the Bradley Manning Support Network site! This is great progress. #freebradle
  22. DavidFPowell
    Today I am reporting entirely by wireless keyboard and iPhone 4S, since my laptop cable's disappearance. I'll never go back. #freebrad
  23. DavidFPowell
    Nat'l Press Club event last night, Dana Priest, and others criticized Obama's treatment and prosecution of journos and W' blowers #FreeBrad
  24. DavidFPowell
    Dismissal ruling on 134 motion may be defered until trial. Argument may include gov't's motion dealing w/ "Actual Harm" #freebradleymanning
  25. DavidFPowell
    Veeeeery brief briefing. Fewer motions may mean a much shorter day in court today. #freebradleymanning #FreeBrad
  26. DavidFPowell
    Mind you that Everything is monitored that goes electronically in and out of the press pool. Sometimes things from tweets 1/2 #FreeBrad
  27. DavidFPowell
    ...are magically addressed at the next briefing. Go figure. It is quite a relief to have actual dates for (possible) trial.#FreeBrad 2/2
  28. DavidFPowell
    The building we're in is called "Smallwood" and is a stand-alone, purpose-built building housing one lecture hall & control room. #freebrad
  29. DavidFPowell
    The setting here is a beautiful, sprawling, bucolic landscape, peppered with soldiers and monuments. Raining today #freebradleymanning
  30. DavidFPowell
    10-minutes to start of hearing. We will tweet IMMEDIATELY after. #FreeBrad #freebradleymanning
  31. DavidFPowell
    Video feed is up on screen, focusing on the Judge's bench as they ready the courtroom. #FreeBrad #freebradleymanning
  32. DavidFPowell
    Audio and video are up. We begin in 1-minute. #FreeBrad #freebradleymanning
  33. DavidFPowell
    Bradley looks well. MUCH more animated these past 3 days; we all agree. compared to March's hearings: more smiling, leaning #FreeBrad
  34. DavidFPowell
    Breaking! DENIED: Multiplication of charges NOT excessive. Defense may re-raise issue after findings #freebradleymanning #FreeBrad
  35. DavidFPowell
    Gov't Motion for Reconsideration: Actual harm or damages-no relation to the commission of the events; irrelevant to charges. #FreeBrad
  36. DavidFPowell
    Coombs (defense): Damage assessment: If it DID cause damage, gov't would WANT to hand them over. #FreeBrad #freebradleymanning
  37. DavidFPowell
    Gov't argues that the fact of the crime itself is not affected by damages caused, or not, in the future. #freebradleymanning #FreeBrad
  38. DavidFPowell
    Court takes this issue under advisement (future hearing?) #freebradleymanning #FreeBrad
  39. DavidFPowell
    The gov't prosecutor attempted much more dramatic treatment in his delivery today. It seemed halting and awkward, but he warmed up. #FreeBra
  40. DavidFPowell
    Court resumes at 12:00 P.M. EDT (in 10-minutes). #freebradleymanning #FreeBrad
  41. DavidFPowell
    I agrre with @KaiWargalla that Bradley seems much more animated today (as do all in the courtroom). #freebradleymanning #FreeBrad
  42. DavidFPowell
    Dear Followers, It's so important to spread this information as far/wide as possible. Please RT all our reports. Thnx. #freebradleymanning
  43. DavidFPowell
    Judge: 134 NOT pre-empted by 104; It was properly charged. Denied motion to dismiss, 1 of charge 2. #freebradleymanning #FreeBrad
  44. DavidFPowell
    CORRECTION: Denied motion to dismiss was 1 of charge 2. #freebradleymanning #FreeBrad
  45. DavidFPowell
    @OpManning I think he looks like he needs a steak and a good "date." And that's the extent of my levity. LOL
  46. DavidFPowell
    Military briefing in progress: Judge working on the 104 decision (she's having internet problems). She MAY come back at 16:00 with a ruling.
  47. DavidFPowell
    If Judge Lind's computer/internet problems are not resolved, her decision will be handed-down next hearing, 6-8 June. #freebradleymanning
  48. DavidFPowell
    We must sit here until 16:00 to see IF (ah, the conditional if) there's a ruling. #freebradleymanning #FreeBrad
  49. DavidFPowell
    FYI: I'm going to Transparency Camp 2012 transparencycamp.org. this weekend in Arlington, VA (D.C. suburb). Please have a look. Thanks.
  50. DavidFPowell
    I Think it would be nice to answer Followers questions during this long break. Let me ask @kgosztola and @KaiWargalla #freebradleymanning
  51. DavidFPowell
    We would like to TRY to answer Followers questions. Please tweet us your questions! @KaiWargalla @DavidFPowell @kgosztola
  52. DavidFPowell
    You can ask anything. It needn't be in legalese.
  53. DavidFPowell
    I willfully and blatantly ignore the briefing rhetoric. I'd smoke if I could (if I smoked). #freebradleymanning #FreeBrad
  54. DavidFPowell
    @zpez There were exactly 62 a/v blackouts in exactly 3-hours in the press pool Tuesday, making us dependent on the briefing. #FreeBrad
  55. DavidFPowell
    @zpez Could you explain that a bit more, please? Thanks.
  56. DavidFPowell
    @Rthosedragons Anything that would delay a negative outcome, and, bring this more into the public eye, would be beneficial, I think.
  57. DavidFPowell
    @JefferyMullins @kaiwargalla @kgosztola I don't know, either. Bradley appears happier than last month, though, if that's an indication.
  58. DavidFPowell
    Judge Lind will be back at 16:00 (4:00 P.M. EDT).
  59. DavidFPowell
    This is a really big deal: Judge Lind will rule on Aiding the Enemy (104) at 4:00 P.M. EDT Please retweet. #freebradleymanning #FreeBrad
  60. DavidFPowell
    @zpez Restless in anticipation of unemployment? Restless because he's complicit? Hmmm..
  61. DavidFPowell
    Live feed has come up and we have 4-minutes until ruling #freebradleymanning #FreeBrad
  62. DavidFPowell
    We're now told it will be 10 or 15-minutes. #FreeBrad #freebradleymanning
  63. DavidFPowell
    Prosecutors must prove during trial that BM Aided the Enemy
  64. DavidFPowell
    The defense motioon to dismiss has been DENIED. The charge of "Aiding the Enemy" still stands. #FreeBrad #FreeBrad #freebradleymanning
  65. DavidFPowell
    Though the motion is denied, the gov't/prosecution still MUST prove BM intended to Aid the Enemy #freebradleymanning #f
  66. DavidFPowell
    If the gov't/prosecution cannot prove ANYTHING, defense can make a motion to have it thrown out. #freebradleymanning #FreeBrad
  67. DavidFPowell
    The charge of Aiding the Enemy still stands. Gov't must prove it, though, during the actual trial. But not in entirety. SOME proof is ok.
  68. DavidFPowell
    The enemy WOULD have access to the info. allegedly communicated to #wikileaks, is an important element. #freebradleymanning #FreeBrad
  69. DavidFPowell
    Though it's been a "bad" week for BM, this is NOT unusual for a defense to file many, many motions before trial. #freebradleymanning
  70. DavidFPowell
    As trial approaches, there will be MORE hearings within a shorter time frame BECAUSE it's common to file more motions as trial looms.#FreeBr
  71. DavidFPowell
    There were 4 or more spectators in the courtroom wearing "TRUTH" tee-shirts. I suspect some sort of statement may have been made verbally
  72. DavidFPowell
    @OpManning Thank you so much. And, thank you.
  73. DavidFPowell
    @D_Cassandra_D It can appear discouraging, BUT, as said, there are many, many motions filed. It's NOT unusual to lose a good number.
  74. DavidFPowell
    @pcvcolin @d_cassandra_d I was thinking the same on the ride home. I can see judges citing US v Manning 2012 as precedent......
