“The Emperor Has No Clothes!” In other words, these so-called “secrets” are an embarrassment to the government, and they don’t want them released because they would be hard to justify in a court of law or to the American people! When the government commits war crimes, they don’t want the evidence released not because of “National Security” as they claim, but because they know they are wrong and don’t want their crimes exposed!
I totally agree with the last comment. Just hearing Manning’c comments about why he leaked these documents makes me wish there were more people with these convictions about truth. This is a man who TRULY deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. In this broken and miserable world, a young man like Manning is like a breath of fresh air. Too bad the governments don’t see it the same way. Of course, Julian Assange is also deserving of the same great things that Manning is.
1. PFC Manning’s actions directly put myself and my unit in direct danger by showing AlQueda what worked to kill us on the MSRs.
2. PFC Manning repeatedly signed a non disclosure document and under went security disclosure training. He knew what the risks were but didn’t care. Was it worth it just to embarrass diplomats for a giggle?
3. The state Dept leaks are not so bad but to give up our combat movement to the enemy is defined as treason.
4.Even our training manuals are classified. Want access so bad? Lawyer can petition to be sworn in and given access and then see its just boring details but non the less still classified.
5. You two have never held a public service position or served your country and it shows by your lack of objectionable thought.
