For exposing US war crimes, Manning should have been put to death?

Do you know how sickening that is?

And you bomb, invade, destabilize and destroy other countries when you
think (or when you false-flag) war crimes are happening there.

There are no bigger hypocrits and schizophrenics on planet earth than
americans.

Do you remember what the Pentagon Papers were all about?

Do you really want to bury your head that far down deep into your ass
and kill those that expose your country's war crimes?

Is that how sick your are as a person, or a country?

I am just not sure I want privates in the army to be able to decide
which secrets are OK to release and which ones are not.

Doesn't matter what you want.

Buried in a big data dump like that can contain information
about agents in the field or operations that are still active.

Just as true of what Elsberg exposed.

BS. Ellsberg did not hand over raw, unfiltered data from cables and
the like, which is what Manning did. He handed over a study of the
US involvement in the Vietnam War, which was very unlikely to have any
identifying information in it that could expose US agents, methods, etc.

Thats bull**** on the methods.

The Pentagon had prepared it and there was no
reason to ever put that kind of information in it.

Thats bull**** on the methods and if it was that useless
to anyone why did it have such a high security rating ?

Further, he turned the PP over to NY Times and
WAPO, responsible news organizations that would
further try to keep from publishing anything like that.

Just as true of wikileaks.

Manning just gave over unfiltered data
to Assange who put it out to the world.

In fact much of it was published by the
NY Times and WAPO etc deliberately.
