Manning Hires PR Firm To Tell Lies

Bradley Manning P.R. Flak Admits Deliberate Lie; Refuses to Correct Deceptive Press Release

Do publicists ever lie on purpose? Do they ever admit to lying, but then refuse to correct their misinformation?
You be the judge.

To help you make your decision, I will present evidence in the form of a dialogue between myself and an actual publicist. First the excerpt.

Me: So you knew it was wrong when you sent it out?
FitzGibbon Principal Publicist Naomi Seligman: Yes.
Me: When are you sending out the correction?
Seligman: I don't think I'll send a correction.

Now for the background.

As we all know, accused Wikileaker Bradley Manning currently lives in the Quantico Marine base brig while awaiting trial on beaucoup charges that could land him in prison for the rest of his life. Apparently the young Army Pfc doesn't like being in jail. In order to raise public sympathy for his cause, the accused traitor has secured the services of a public relations firm.
Enter FitzGibbon Media.

So who’s paying the tab?

Soros?

Personally I don’t really care much what happens to young Bradster. I sure as hell want to see his chain of command being grilled by Congressional Committees.

How does that Simon & Garfunkel song go?

How is this whining homo able to foot the funding to pay for this?
He turn some tricks before getting locked down and has a cash stash somewhere or something?
It’s straightforward, illegally relay confidential material, get caught, go to jail, period.
That’s part of military training!

Yes, but there was a time when this guy wouldn’t have had a chance. I held a security clearance many years ago. One piece of information could be 5 years in jail. It doesn’t take very many offenses to add up to life in prison.
