I don’t come here to tell you what you want to hear. I come to tell you what I think. I am FOR the American People knowing all about it’s government— TRANSPARENT!! I am a fan of Assange, Snowden and Manning. They brought us the truth about our government spying on us violating the constitution.The government has NO RIGHT to lie to us— ZERO!! That my friends is REAL conservatism!! Flame away but that is my position. https://www.thenation.com/article/long-list-what-we-know-thanks-private-manning/

OBAMA: So people can have philosophical views [about Bradley Manning] but I can’t conduct diplomacy on an open source [basis]… That’s not how the world works. And if you’re in the military… And I have to abide by certain rules of classified information. If I were to release material I weren’t allowed to, I’d be breaking the law.

We’re a nation of laws. We don’t let individuals make their own decisions about how the laws operate. He broke the law.

[Q: Didn’t he release evidence of war crimes?]

OBAMA: What he did was he dumped…

Q: Isn’t that just the same thing as what Daniel Ellsberg did?]

OBAMA: No it wasn’t the same thing. Ellsberg’s material wasn’t classified in the same way.

The dickless side with each other.

How many people died after he released Pictures?

[palmer]

I looked at the list and nothing in the list should have been made public. Manning is nothing short of a traitor.

[palmer]

Manning will be released in May.

I meant Fox goes right along with the rest of the media in calling this drag queen a woman. Women don’t have something swinging between their legs.

Wow. GREAT cartoon!

I admit I didn't have time to read this article - can Trump undo this? Put Manning back in prison?

[nutmeg]

Bradley Manning

[nutmeg]

But there's a couple of days left, so we'll see ....

That's what I'm afraid of. What's coming next??

Anyone want to bet Bo Bergdahl will be pardoned?
