We now live in a world where there is no privacy for individuals and where our government is listening in on all our conversations. What’s good for the goose is great for the gander.

He is a whistleblower. Do you object to his whistleblowing as it is embarrassing for the U.S.?
It’s okay for us to find out that chemical weapons are being used in Syria or that other tainted practices take place in other countries – but not apparently the U.S.

Manning is a bright but low-level intelligence worker, apparently incompetently supervised. In contrast to certain criminals who lied us into the Iraq war, he clearly has good intentions–which those who “outed” Valerie Plame clearly did not, and obviously gave valuable information to the enemy, clearly committing a treasonable act.

If Manning is jailed for one day, Bush and his gang deserve a life sentence in the most miserable prison we have.

“a Liberal Democrat” RIGHT!! How is that ‘free press” & ‘open government’ working for (or, on) you? Why is it that you are able to make a statement and contradict it with the very next one. The NDAA is doubtless to you an inalienable Right, right? So……. you are vehemently against both wars – but, you would keep Secret all actual WAR CRIMES !! Shades of MeiLIE, VietNam. And, why are the American people “the enemy” to you – because WE are the only people on this planet who DO NOT know what is actually happening over there. It’s certain that those who are being bombed, shot, oppressed, illegally occupied, tortured, made homeless etcetera (and the neighboring nations) certainly are well aware of the brutality visited on them by the empire. Get a clue Mr. “democrat” – I don’t understand how you can characterize youself as a liberal D.???

Tom, R U F*serious?? you’ve neither logic or a moral compass. If “the leadership we have now deserved a Nobel Peace prize, Bradley Manning deserves 1,000 of them. I agree “the horrors of war SHOULD eat at all of us” especially you, Tom!!

He IS “better” than all the folks who sought to bury the truth. He clearly does have a conscience, which is more than I can say about the Bush/Cheny/Rumsfeld cabal.

Home of the BRAVE? It’s brave to flip a bird to an innocent “good Samaritan,” while you watch him die?

We’re FREE, when our government routinely ignores “Freedom of Information” requests for relevant but “embarrassing” information?

Are we being “brave,” or are we being “free,” when we send “enemies” of the installed and corrupt leaders of the “democracies” that we shoved down the throats of occupied countries to Guantanamo, simply for exercising what would be “First Amendment Rights” if they were Americans?

Deep thinker, you are. Not such a great speller. Know the difference between “whose” and “who’s”? You’re the idiot.

You mean Socrates? Sophocles was a playwright.
