| Description | Ten protesters broke into President Obama’s speech Thursday, singing “We’ve paid our dues / Where’s our change?”, at a private breakfast fundraiser in San Francisco.
The protesters, who were attendees at the event held by the Democratic National Committee, treated the president and other guests to several verses of a song that, while pledging support for Obama, upbraided the administration for the treatment of Army Pfc. Bradley Manning.
Manning, 23, is accused of leaking sensitive Defense Department documents to an unauthorized source, and is allegedly the person who transferred massive files of classified documents to WikiLeaks, who made them public. He has been held in military confinement for more than eight months and has not yet been tried.
Manning is currently in the process of being moved by DoD from the maximum-security brig at Quantico, Va., to the Joint Regional Correctional Facility in Fort Leavenworth, Kan. |
