If Manning had ONLY released documents mentioning war crimes and torture he might have been able to realistically claim being a whistle-blower.But he gave EVERYTHING to Wiki-leaks in contravention of the orders relating to his security clearance.
As for the items mentioned in the right-hand column… Who cares?
Bradley Manning was offered a plea deal that would have cut his incarceration to less than a year and a half. He choose to reject the deal to protect the stalker/rapist Julian Assange. Martyr complex to go along with his varied other neuroses.
But Republicans assure us he’ll be treated like a lady in prison. It’s like 35 years of gay heaven. We need to pardon him immediately and make him work at minimum to pay for a tiny space and drinks at gay bars where we can hide outside and wait until he comes out to give him a proper beating.
Dee, I especially abhor videos of Americans in Apache helos machine-gunning innocent Iraqi civilians walking in their own streets… or cutting bullets out of the bodies of women they killed by mistake in Afghanistan night raids..
