Every 1st World Nation needs a good conflict/war every 10-15yrs, to try out new equipment and sort things out. The Brits are way overdue.

Yes

Manning is different.

He is a soldier . His actions were treasonous. At best he deserted his duty and with malice s duty to America

The we do not know the source of th I Wikileaks. Wikipedia is no different than than the New York Times. They can say anything

Once more if you will........

There is a problem with Wikileaks involving the current cold civil war.

Who leaked to Wikileaks?

Like wikipedia is source of all knowledge, Wikileaks is source for all leaks. or so it goes

It should be of paramount import to the Trump government to discover the leaker(s). That knowledge is a powerful weapon. I do not believe we have heard the last on the leak e mail subject and I sincerely doubt all has been revealed.

Once in the safety of American custody, perhaps more can be revealed, the hole card so to speak

Except that in 2010, Mr. Trump said Assange should be killed for what he did. Don’t forget Comey was a big help too.

Assange had been charged a year ago for colluding with Manning to enter encripted military sites for the wiki-leak materials. He has just said that if the US tries to convict him it will be violating our own freedom of speech laws. To this a military or other govt. representative said there is no freedom of hacking military access codes. Manning has now been in a Virginia jail for over a month, I think for Contempt of Court, for refusing to name or give some information in a Wiki related case. The pending US court case was made public today because Assange had just been thrown out of the Ecuadorian Embassy now that the 7 year statue of limitation for his rape case in Sweden (?) had just expired. The link below is from AOL news. It has a lot of comments mostly pro Dem, but I have read their links and comments before, and sometimes some really new information is posted by someone who is in the know.

We and a couple of neighboring cities had some gangs shooting each other up.

So the cities went in together for a mobile and placement unit.

A short time later the gang members were in prison.

Below is info on this system and how it works.

‘Seems an amazing coincidence that his arrest follows Barr’s testimony about spying yesterday.’

Gibb’s rule #39, There are no coincidences!

Dave’s 39/A There are zero/nada/’ain’t’ happening coincidences at this level.

The USG is charging Assange as a co-conspirator with Manning in breaking the password to get into the system. According to the government, Assange was actively involved in obtaining illegally classified information and not just a passive recipient. Big difference from publishing the Pentagon Papers.

It was the rallies that helped people vote for Trump.

The charge is simple. He’s charged with helping Chelsey Manning break the password to intelligence files. (Conspiracy). No charges yet about publishing the info.

The Brits are doing this for the US, not about any laws of theirs.
