More than 200 activists rallied in support of Bradley Manning outside of Fort Meade, Maryland, on Saturday afternoon, Dec. 17, 2011. It was the second day of Manning's preliminary hearing. Lt. Dan Choi, a graduate of the West Point Military Academy and an Iraq War veteran, shared his views on the controversial whistleblower. He hailed Manning as "a good soldier, who stood by Army values...and the US Constitution."
