Certainly the man of year for activists is Bradley Manning for exposing heinous war crimes. We need to ask ourselves what we would do in the circumstances he faced.
What would any of us do? We might hope we'd risk the wrath of a government involved in war crimes and cover-ups, and tell the people the truth.It says a lot about the nature of the Empire when people like former Sen. John C. Stennis are memorialized with his name on an aircraft carrier. With all the press coverage Chris Kyle is receiving from mainstream media, I would not be surprised if he were not designated as person of the year.
