Summary execution.

Why?

Is that the punishment for the charges he faces? If not, are just you
putting in an opinion about the punishment you think Manning should face?

On July 5, Bradley Manning was charged under the Uniform Code of
Military Justice for transferring classified data onto his personal
computer and communicating national defense information to an
unauthorized source between November 19, 2009 and May 27, 2010.

So, if found guilty of that charge, is the punishment "summary execution"?

If so, it seems rather extreme given the boring nature of the information
contained in the leaks to date. Anyone with half a brain and an interest in
politics and world events and access to a computer could have reached
simialr conclusions.
