I view PFC Manning in the same light as turncoat CIA agent Philip Agee.
Do not mention the name Philip Agee in the presence of George or Barbara Bush. You might even hear Barbara cuss (she rarely does, but she can be brutally frank at times). The elder Bushes knew operatives who were killed when Agee published their names and general locations. This was during the time when GHW Bush was head of the CIA.
As do I. How many people have died or will die thanks to PFC Manning’s leaks?
If it was such a big deal, than no matter the politics involved they should have not outted Valerie Plame.
“I view PFC Manning in the same light as turncoat CIA agent Philip Agee.”
And I view you, sir, as an ass to make such a remark.
Comparing a man of principle, who actually upheld his oath, to the character of a traitor in the true sense of the word, who violated his, is as unconscionable as it is stupid.
