Life should be rough when you betray your country.

He is just lucky that we weren't in a declared war.

What is the status of a formal prosecution and trial? Do we still do those or just wait for those that we don't like to be plunged down the memory hole and left to rot?

He betrayed the government. He might have done your country a huge favor.

The court-martial is going ahead.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/feb/04/bradley-manning-court-martial-wikileaks

"A US army officer has ordered a court martial for Bradley Manning, the soldier charged in the biggest leak of classified information in American history.

Military district of Washington commander Major General Michael Linnington referred all charges against Manning to a general court martial on Friday, the army said in a statement.

The referral means Manning, 24, will stand trial for allegedly giving more than 700,000 secret US documents and a classified combat video to WikiLeaks for publication. He faces 22 counts, including aiding the enemy, and could be imprisoned for life if convicted of that charge.

A judge yet to be appointed will set the trial date."

He betrayed the government.



exposing the crimes your government commits is not betrayal but the highest form of patriotism

I wonder what would've happened had he of been a citizen of another country, say China, and released Chinese documents like that. Would that still be "okay" had this of happened in another country with one of their citizens, and not just a US soldier releasing US stuff?
