Bradley's actions are not unlike those of Daniel Ellsberg.

Spindoc and Leo L... Do you think that the murder of children, reporters, civilians and rescuers is a legitimate activity of an occupying force, and undeserving of censure?
Do you think USA soldiers should be completely unaccountable for their actions, no matter how foul?
If you saw a murder taking place and you knew the murderer, would you not report the fact?
If so, you are indeed worthy allies of the USA. Let's shoot the messenger who dares to bring us bad news.

If you have every read the Uniform Military Code of Justice you would all realise Manning was only following it.

He found a war crime, and alerted the people of the world to it.

The US is the biggest committer or war crimes on this planet at present and any naysayer would need to find enormous evidence to find otherwise.

Manning has only exposed what others have know for a very long time.

He should however, have not leaked 250,000 documents, he should have stuck with the pertinent articles that show US forces committing crimes, I have no idea how many of his leaked documents support this.

The fact that he has become such a headache to the US government yells loud and clear to me that he has done a great service to humanity and a great dis-service to the secret goings-on of the US military and its government backers/supporters.

The US and its allies have a lot to answer for, including Australia.

Manning is not aggressive, the US machine is aggressive.

Why is it that the facist element in this country believe that murder is fine but blowing the whistle is treachery?

Manning is a hero, no two ways about it.

All I can say is that there are some strange minds out there.

It is nice to have my opinion confirmed. When Marylin Shepherd posts, I check that she has said the opposite to me, as a guarantee that i am correct. I see that Geoff of Perth can serve a similar function.

Life is all trial and error. These are the people who supply the error.
