re: #178 Killgore Trout

Well, blind support for manning who endangered his fellow soldiers and country by stealing and publishing classified information is one example.
In Greenwald’s article he also boo hoo’s that terrorists are being killed on the battlefield. Greenwald is a complete douche.

I think going in to fight a war in Iraq on the basis of false fake intel and WMDs did a better job of endangering soldiers. Which is not to give Manning a free pass. But it is relative. Given that, technically speaking Manning is still innocent until proven guilty — think due process and the US Constitution. Even in a military tribunal. He sounds guilty to me but that’s irrelevant in a truly blind (allegedly) justice system.
