wilwheaton:

President Barack Obama made stunning accusations about accused Wikileaks whistleblower PFC Bradley Manning, directly asserting that Manning “broke the law.” Apparently the President of the United States of America and a self-described Constitutional scholar does not care that Manning has yet to be tried or convicted for any crime.

 Obama never restored the right of habeas corpus after Bush left office, so I suppose we can’t be but so surprised that he’d say something like this. Still, the loss of the presumption of innocence is extremely depressing. Welcome to America’s dystopian future, everybody.
