iviewit,

Please stop SHOUTING.

imax, please move from the US.  The US hero Manning exposed War Crimes, of course they do not want soldiers disobeying ILLEGAL WAR CRIME ORDERS and then EXPOSING THOSE CRIMES.  Why did the Abu Gra Hell exposers get punishment.  What Manning did was what every good soldier does, expose War Criminals.  Since these “Wars” have never been officially declared wars they are all ILLEGAL ACTIONS and WAR CRIMES and TORTURE CRIMES and will be tried as such in time.  As for Manning not getting support from US, I would estimate that he is not supported by 1% of the FASCIST, SELLOUT, UNAMERICAN, UNPATRIOTIC, NAZI FRY LOVIN, ELITIST PIGS AMERICANS who have ruined our nation with their ILLEGAL WAR AND ECONOMIC CRIMES. 
TRY THEM and FRY THEM, then RICO and RECOVER the STOLEN 14-46 TRILLION of LOOT from their crimes.  At the end of trials for TReASON and WAR CRIMES is a rope,, AS ALWAYS, NOOSES FREE @ http://www.iviewit.tv

QUOTE, Bradley Manning email to Julian Assange:

“...removing the fog of war and revealing the true nature of 21st century asymmetrical warfare.”
_______________________________________

The American military is engaged in serial wars of aggression; wars of choice waged primarily for private profit at public expense, and for corporate control over the rich resources of “others” that corporations and corporate (R) & (D) party voters consider collaterally expendable; with the massive death and destruction delivered to any “others” living over or in the path of rich resources being treated as a cost of doing business that those untermenschen “others’ should pay.

The corporate party’s Republican and Democrat voters have provided popular vote mandates for these wars of aggression, because America’s un-conscripted mercenary military deploys incredibly sophisticated hi-tech weaponry against civilian populations that are either defenseless or dependent upon improvised defenses.

America casually wages wars for profit against civilian populations reduced to distant dehumanized dots upon fuzzy screens.

The American people should be on trial, not Bradley Manning.

Edward Ellis,

I honestly don’t know enough about Manning to determine if he is need of a mental hospital. Being misguided is not an indicator of one’s ‘sanity’. Neither is sexual frustration. - He was found fit to face court martial in April of this year.

I do know that only the most ardent critics of all things U.S. believe this young man to be a hero.  Manning will receive very little sympathy from the American public. - It’s worth nothing that had Manning resided in most of the world’s nations he would have been put to death by now. A punishment I do not advocate.

@ IMax & heterochromatic: You speak the
truth. Although, I’d like to see PFC
Manning get some psychiatric help rather
than Leavenworth. Also there’s something
about Assange I find creepy, as in
“Internet Helter Skelter”.

“The 22 new charges allege that he downloaded unauthorized software onto government computers, used it to get classified information, improperly stored it, and sent it on for use by the enemy. “The new charges more accurately reflect the broad scope of the crimes that PFC Manning is accused of committing,” said Capt. John Haberland, a legal spokesman for U.S. Army Military District of Washington.

In a second posting, Coombs noted the breadth of the military’s definition of “enemy”: “`Enemy’ includes (not only) organized opposing forces in time of war, (but also any other hostile body that our forces may be opposing) (such as a rebellious mob or a band of renegades) (and includes civilians as well as members of military organizations). (‘Enemy’ is not restricted to the enemy government or its armed forces. All the citizens of one belligerent are enemies of the government and the citizens of the other.)’”

A private in the armed forces does not, and should not, posses the right to decide which state secrets may be released to other states.

A solid argument can be made that the U.S. Government classifies far too much information, however, that is not the issue. Manning is charged with countermanding protocols designed to prevent corruption, sabotage and espionage. - One of the charges leveled against Manning is that he knowingly exceeded his authorized access to a secret network IP router. Such actions, for whatever reason, is obviously against the law.

-

Ms. Goodman writes: “Afghan War Logs followed months later, with tens of thousands of military field reports. Then came the Iraq War Diaries, with close to 400,000 military records of the U.S. war in Iraq.”

It seems Ms. Goodman desired to quickly get past this charge. Not wanting to ruminate too much on the crime committed. - Manning is accused of releasing pertinent and sensitive military field information while soldiers were fighting in the field. Typically this type of crime is considered “aid to the enemy”.

-

According to trial reports Manning’s defense attorneys are attempting to portray him as an emotionally troubled young man whose behavioral problems should have prompted his superiors to revoke his access to classified information.

This defense does not bode well for Manning.

The charges against Manning call for the death penalty, but government prosecutors have repeatedly said that they will seek life in prison instead.

amy, you sweet person…..your sympathy for manning
reflects well on you.
but the bullshit about a death sentence does not.

the little guy certainly did do the thing they’ve
charged him with, and he is going to either a jail
cell or a locked psych unit….and quite rightfully
so.

but they’re not going to ask for any death penalty
and they’re not going to impose one.  I assume that
you’ve done the minimal background research to know
that the military executes murderers and not much
else.

manning is not evn going to draw much a sentence if
he accepts the offer to plead out and co-operate.

A balanced democratic government, neither defensive nor aggressive, instead of tryng to punish those who exposed mistakes and shoddy diplomatic deals, would use such “leakage” as an opportunity for self-examination, in order to correct the revealed errors in policy and procedures. Less “face”
would be lost by accepting the criticisms and taking steps to rectify them.
  Though governments and other organized powers traditionally have difficulty admitting their errors, and instead habitually punish those who bring errors to light, yet charging whistle-blowers with “sedition” and “betrayal” seems to many people as over-reaction which causes a wider spread of more negative publicity in an attempt to cover up or justify mistakes in policies and procedures. A government in better balance and more self-assured would probably not bring persecutory procedures into play and treat whistle-blowers as criminals.
