Only in Berkeley

The nuts that run the Gay Bay suburb of Berkeley have never met a traitor they didn't love:

“The Berkeley City Council will consider a resolution that would declare the Army private suspected of leaking classified information to WikiLeaks a hero and call for his release. The council plans a vote Tuesday on the resolution in support of Pfc. Bradley Manning, who is being held in a military brig in Virginia. A city commission already has approved it. Bob Meola, who authored the resolution, tells the San Francisco Chronicle that Manning is a patriot who deserves a medal.”

I suggest they give him a medal, put it around his neck, and then hook the ribbon to a nice high branch on a nearby tree.
