A general prescription to follow the law does not prejudice specific cases.<br /><br />But, Obama did say, specifically, that Bradley Manning was guilty, and well before his trial was due to start. <i>That</i> may well have been prejudicial because he is part of the chain of command, of which the judge and jury in Manning's case are a part.
