Minister of Foreign Affairs, Norway

(google translated)

Do not know if this is the right time, but no matter its time to take a phone call to Obama regarding the imprisonment of Bradley Manning? Given that [we] still goes into armed conflicts and the information allegedly leaked, known as Collateral murder (classified or not) is and was important to nuance the picture and understand the consequences of armed conflict. I do not mean to say that everything WikiLeaks does is correct, but Im pretty sure that the imprisonment of Bradley Manning is wrong, and if possible, the added pressure from Norway (which is now becoming a major player in the world-peace game) it would be possible to give Bradley Manning amnesty(or whatever it's called!) Given that the U.S. under Obama's Nobel Peace Prize management, seems to have a completely different strategy, where "protect civilians" is in focus, which Bradley Manning's offense basically is. It will therefore serve both the United States, Obama, etc. if you can start to focus on our common goals. Let us not forget that Mannings crime is a reflection of the "old America" from 1980's cold war, 90's Iraq invasion, 20s attack on the axes of evil. From my stand location, from CNN, Al Jazzera, Twitter, YouTube, acquaintances in North Africa, friends and family in the United States, friends of friends in the U.S. Marine corps. Family in the Norwegian military, family, NATO forces - not to mention when I have seen Obama's "commitment" in recent days, it is clear that much of the former "imperial" mindset, we are against all the bitterness of the cold war is gone .. End this note with an urge a take that phone call to Obama. Someone have to do it. Sincerely, NN
