Lining up to support disclosure of confidential information would be unwise. But common sense deserves a place at the table. Manning did what he did because the military allowed 500,000 people to access a "secret" network and browse whatever they wanted, with no one noticing if a single person read it all. If the security was so lax that we had this man giving secret documents away, is it not possible there were a few others doing the same thing professionally?

The point people need to take home from this is that military secrecy, when necessary, should involve tiny numbers of people with a real need to know. It should never be allowed to degenerate into a knowledge caste system where 1% of the country are deemed worthy to know real, adult things, while the other 99% should be kept in ignorance.

He leaked classified military documents, treason.

You had better look up the definition of treason. He has not committed treason. He may have committed an offense against secrecy acts, most of which are used to hide government offenses.

maybe no treason but still very illegal. He hopefully gets a huge punishment.

Who? Boehner? Yes he and his cronys in office have been either tearing down America and obstructing legislation to correct problems.............But.............well I suppose that is traitorous.

Hhmmmmm... blood thirsty though aren't you?

And that idiot Boehner has to do with what? Are we not talking about Manning here? If you are trying to create a straw man you need to come up with something better.

I'm sorry I thought we were talking about someone who has hurt the United States - so naturally I thought of some of the repubs in office. I mean Manning is more like a patriotic or at least military whistle blower.

He is a traitor. Admire him all you want. Worship him for all I care. You are a blazing rectal polyp. Gent bent.

Well - Hey.

Eat shit and bark at the moon.

I'm more concerned with real criminals who have actually hurt millions of people.

So scuse me - SFB.

You reds are on the edge. And your time is coming. Count on it.

Green as in healthy environment in a healthy world is closer to the truth. But you are free to call it as "YOU" see it. This is still for the moment America and that is one of your rights guaranteed by the Constitution. At least until ALEC and the Koch's and the greedy corrupt corporations and WallStreet succeed in killing it off.

My time is coming? Sorry no my time in the sun is mostly over now. But that is not gonna stop me from trying to leave this world a better place than I found it. I want the kids of today to be able to enjoy their time in the sunshine.
