US ARMY PFC BRADLEY MANNING ACQUITTED OF AIDING THE ENEMY: AP
He will love it in stir. I have a pretty good idea that he is a catcher. And his mit is going to get quite a workout.
I agree. The title gives the impression he’s not going to jail. He is....on other charges.
AMERICA IS SO OVER
Well, I don’t like it, but I accept the court’s ruling.
Manning said he was just soooo gay about the verdict....oops...I mean happy...yeh...happy.
Little girl Manning will be big Leroy’s girlfriend....for a long, long time.
Well, he is gay. It's entirely possible Obama won't just pardon him but will appoint him ambassador or general.

Hey...a little compassion here...say just 150 years and no more.
Most of the reports keep burying the lede.
More evidence gay people are no longer subject to the law.
“Listening to CBS radio now (Rush station): Sounds like Manning IS guilty of five espionage counts which could still keep him in prison for up to 150 years.”
If Ft Leavenworth is still open, he may get free lodging and care there for the next 150 years. I would not want to spend a second there.
completely gutted right now. I mean its bad enough that Jane Fonda got away with this kind of crap, but now this?
“I listened to a military lawyer discussing this on F&F this morning. Manning has already pled guilty to about 20 of 40 charges. He’s going to be locked up a number of years.
According to this retired JAG officer, the problem with the “aiding the enemy” charge is that it’s nearly impossible to prove without direct evidence.”
Aiding the enemy was hard to define in wartime. Now in an undeclared war with an enemy, the rats don’t want to define/profile, would be impossible.
Is Fort Leavenworth still open for business?
Imma burn sumpin down after my nap.
Fort Carson Co
I have long thought we shot ourselves in the foot by not convicting people of treason.
The founders set the bar high for a reason (England used it as a catch-all charge) but we have made it impossible to convict people for it, which results in losers like this guy, Bradley Manning.
He should have been SHOT.
We should riot, loot Walmart, turn over a few cars, burn some Korean markets, hold vigils in parks, boycott certain states and write letters to congressional leaders demanding they change the laws. After all, that is the appropriate response to an unpopular verdict, is it not?
My feeling is, why reward him for his bad behavior? On my dime, darn it.
