omsupplyinc... 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? |

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. He wasn't charged with aiding an abetting an enemy. Actually, I think he hurt the "enemy", depending, of course, on who we call the "enemy". I don't include Bradley Manning among them. -- - Billy "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." - Benito Mussolini. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyE5wjc4XOw http://www.salem-news.com/articles/j...acks_1-5-09.ph p |

Privacy is history. What makes the governments of the world think they should have privacy when no law exist for the privacy concerns of it's citizens. The so called theory of : The governments job to is protect the people? Or is it to help government officials to hide from their crimes. I will support the governments privacy concerns when I can also legally encode my own communications in which is next to impossible to listen in on. I do not buy the argument "For the protection of its citizens". 9/11 communication interceptions never helped it's citizens. As for the soldier, he did break the law in which he was hired for and deserves his prison time. However, he should be treated humanely, what ever that is. Is he a martyr, perhaps, the jury is still out. -- Enjoy Life... Nad R (Garden in zone 5a Michigan) |

Manning hasn't been tried except in the minds of those who have prejudged him.

Do you support illegal government activity, Don? Do you support murder and torture of people SUSPECTED to be criminals? What would you do, if Pakistan killed 10 members of your family, to kill one nationalist, excuse me, I mean militant? The money for the 9/11 killers did come from Pakistan after all. -- - Billy "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." - Benito Mussolini. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyE5wjc4XOw http://www.salem-news.com/articles/j...acks_1-5-09.ph p |

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. |
