Nice torture justification, bro. You should be proud of yourself: you've stood up for humans beings torturing other human beings. Probably the highlight of your life to date.

Hint: nobody has ever said they thought Manning was a suicide risk except for his torturers. All qualified medical personnel that have ever examined him (including the prison psychologist) have insisted that he wasn't. Hint 2: doing sleep deprivation and humiliation is not the way to reduce someone's chance of suicide, if you honestly believed they were a risk. Which no one did.
