How do you know?? Were you there? How can he be guilty without a trial? If you were told by the media then how can you be sure of the veracity of the information? What of someone else were guilty of it and he has been presented to you, what if nobody leaked anything and all of it was hacked without his help, this story seems more about fear of information, fear of corruption and what happens when corruption gets brought to the light, someone has to pay, does not matter if he did or didn’t, people call for an Aztec like sacrifice to the gods, for the crime of information, this story serves more as a fear propaganda piece than anything real. Prometheus for the modern era.
If you know too much you could get burned too, that seems the moral lesson being preached. In other words we have to limit our minds else we will destroy ourselves. I can’t think of anything more liberal than limiting the minds of everyone to some generic baseline reality of Wizard of OZ like fairy tale absurdity.
We go around decieving the world and also decieving the people that fund these operations about the fact we are liying and tricking the world we live, yet the guy who exposed this should be put to death?? So in other words let them lie, let them fool you and me and squander out tax money for lies and foolish global grandstanding? Nothing limited and conservative about a foreign policy like that...let’s see what was the bill for this crap shoot casino intelligence game....huuh $17 trillion, surely that was a great deal then you must concur your $17 trillion in debt was worth being told lies to your face and getting you behind lies so we all could get poorer, this sounds like liberal Detroit Michigan style diplomacy, just throw money at the gerrymandered precinct in the middle east and the gravy train can go n forever like the housing bubble did? I’m clearly frustrated that people cannot be shown they are getting nothing for their money, the threats a $17 trillion black hole con job, get over it.
I agree with that. Though I may not call Manning a hero. I am one of the people who think alot of info should NOT be kept from the public. If we lived in a free society and had true liberty, there would be no government or military secrets.
