re: #28 Obdicut

And? Why on earth do you think you’re explaining yourself by saying that? Manning wasn’t leaking a story, he wasn’t revealing something in specific, he was leaking everything he could get his hands on.

Sure. Person A committed no crime.

Person B is guilty of theft and selling stolen goods.

Persons C is an accessory to murder. Person D is a murderer.

So, according to your syllogism, Wikileaks is an accessory to murder in this case.

You are so fast, forgive me I just woke up and are still on my first copy.

We seem to agree here, ‘D’would receive the harshest penalty and rightly so.

Manning could have gone to the NYT or anywhere else, I don’t know his motivations. However he chose wikileaks, and the next leaker who comes along may do the same.

What was considered traditional has no bearing on what is or will be.
