Whilst it is horrible how they are treating bradley manning, whatever happens to bradley manning himself no one on this website is going to be punished for what they have said here. Even in England there is a chance for libel and defamation but in america people can write articles attacking important people with serious crimes and do it with complete security that their government will protect their right to do so…

Yes, if they actually tried assange for treason this would go against that but if that happened that would be shocking and removed from what is normal american policy.

There are few other countries in the world that enjoy this freedom and that is something that makes the US great and worth fighting for. (When I say fightingfor, I’m including the efforts of this website and bradley manning himself.)

2. “potentially fueled the desire for more to join our enemies ranks” is a really irresponsible statement.

It is the US army storming other countries under lies like “weapon of mass destruction”. It is the US troop bombed and killed countless innocent people, and the worse was the military as well as the media covered those crimes up and lied to people that US is saving the country and the world, instead.

Now, here came a guy who free the truth to public and of course people in those countries being invaded will get angry(shouldn’t they), and you are blaming the people who released the truth and those people saw the truth who then become hostile to US troop?

The people who made the mass worried their victims become hostile to them after knowing the truth? It this what you learned in the army? Or you only sort people into two categories, enemy and not enemy without examining what you did to other people first? To be honest, this is even worse than gangs.

Usually I respect the noble motivation joining the troop for “defending our country”. However, the actually things the US troops did in other country were totally another story, pretty often far away,even opposite to the initial motivation.

2. Saying that some so called leaked information which will endanger more people’s lives is baseless. It’s just a pretext to paint Bradley Manning black.

Information for those facilities are able to be found on internet. Terrorist does not need those information alleged leaked since they can just set up a set of condition for justifying the targets and search on the internet.

By the way, the DOD said in public no actual damage was found relative to the leaked information.

A private who told the world the truth !!!
