re: #18 HappyWarrior

I don’t get why this guy is seen sympathetically or a wronged man in some quarters. He committed a crime. He violated the oath that every serviceman and women does when they sign up for the United States Armed Forces. Yeah my sympathy with Brad Manning is nill. There are a lot more people who are worth my sympathy and support around the world than him.

Well, I think he thought he was doing the right thing. There’s some other guy I faintly remember… Edwin? Edgar? Edgar Simpleton, that’s the guy… who clearly wanted to get super awesome famous folk-hero whatever.

I think Manning is a well-meaning criminal idiot, who will be locked up because “well-meaning” doesn’t mean you get to commit whatever grevious crime you want.
