Bradley Manning found not guilty of aiding the enemy but is found guilty on 20 other counts
[url=http://edition.cnn.com/2013/07/30/justice/manning-court-martial/index.html?hpt=hp_t1]Source[/url]
[quote]A military court has found Pfc. Bradley Manning, accused of the largest leak of classified information in U.S. history, not guilty of aiding the enemy -- a charge that would have carried a maximum sentence of life in prison. He was found guilty of most of the remaining charges against him, with the judge accepting some of the guilty pleas he made previously to lesser charges.
Manning still faces the prospect of years, if not decades, behind bars. He was found guilty on 20 counts. The sentencing phase of the court-martial begins Wednesday, and Manning faces up to a maximum 136 years in prison.[/quote]

1 ReplyWhile I disagree that what he did was morally wrong, he was sentenced correctly.

7 RepliesThere is so much that happens that we never know about. Our government does things that are not righteous, excusable, or diplomatically viable. But so does every other institution on earth. If you're an American, rejoice that your government does what is necessary. It's all dirty pool. All people are the same. We all hate outsiders and love our own kind. It's what unites humanity in the most retarded way.

well he might be bad at football but thats no reason to call him a traitor jeeze

5 RepliesCommie scum, I hope he dies.

3 RepliesAnd yet no charges were brought against the apache pilots who massacred several innocent, unarmed Afghani civilians. Well done, America.

2 RepliesManning is a hero and a patriot in my book. We live in an age where the civil liberties our forefathers fought so hard for are being eroded by the day. Freedom of Press, Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Assembly are mere ghostly images of their original intent. We’ve woken up to an Orwellian Society of Fear where anyone is at the mercy of being labeled a terrorist for standing up for rights we took for granted just over a decade ago.

Life in prison? No, it's only 136 years, you'll be fine.

1 ReplyOn one hand, leaking stuff about a government doing bad stuff is a good idea. On the other, leaking the government doing bad stuff during a war in which the civilian population could with either the US or it's enemies, would probably spark large amounts of retaliation against the US, and possibly even cause some of those civilians to side with whom the US is against. Causing even more death, and is detrimental to the goals of the US military in that area. US gov. isn't pissed about the shady shit that's been leaked, US gov. is pissed about the mess it's going to cause. Just sayin.

7 Replieshe did not leak any real major information, and endangered his fellow troops with a temper tantrum because he was struggling with major depression, bipolar disorder, and gender identity disorder. he is not a hero.
-
3 RepliesI'm not knowledgeable on the subject so I don't know if he deserves the charges or not, but what is the point of serving more years in prison than you have left in your life?
-
I was under the impression that he leaked a couple hundred thousand documents in addition to that helicopter massacre...

1 Replyand a minimum of 60... he'l be an old man in a different world if realeased

4 RepliesEdited by Banned Man 3000: 8/1/2013 11:33:06 PMSo...why is it illegal to show people that the government is doing something illegal?

6 RepliesToo bad he's still been tortured and will be imprisoned for an absurd length of time for doing nothing else than exposing our criminal government, which will not be held accountable for their actions. Bradley's oath to defend the Constitution supersedes any oath he made the the government.
-
[quote]The sentencing phase of the court-martial begins Wednesday, and Manning faces up to a maximum 136 years in prison.[/quote] So he's likely getting life in prison anyways.
-
He escaped life in prison to get 136 year in prison.......wut.

Edited by Hargbeast: 8/4/2013 8:29:17 AMCan't say he didn't see it coming.

1 ReplyA much better title would be "Bradley Manning gets 136 years in prison", or "kid or leaked some files loses the right to his free life". *Facepalm*

6 RepliesHe wasn't aiding the enemy, he was aiding the people of his country; most of whom are too blind to witness his contribution, unfortunately.
