Obama Calls Treatment of Wikileaks Soldier Bradley Manning 'Appropriate' and 'Meeting Our Basic Standards'

That's not quite what he said, according to http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2011/03/11/AR2011031106542.html:

"I have actually asked the Pentagon whether or not the procedures that have been taken in terms of his confinement are appropriate and are meeting our basic standards. They assured me that they are," Obama said.

I'm really glad the US didn't get hit as hard as it might have. I'm glad you're okay. I hadn't realized just how coastal you were. But I'm really glad that the tsunami seemed to be smaller than expected outside Japan. I just wish Japan hadn't been hit so hard.

[azurelunatic]

I'm very, very coastal. In 2009 my father called me, concerned that my being off IM meant that I'd fallen into the sea. (It actually meant that I was between point A and point B and without internet.)

[azurelunatic]

And yeah, I also wish Japan had not been hit so hard, and I am very concerned about that developing situation with that power plant.
