Private Bradley Manning, the source for leaked sensitive / secret documents subsequently disseminated by Julian Assange of Wikileaks awaits his fate as does Assange himself.

Is Private Manning perhaps the worst traitor and biggest blackmailer in world history?

Worst traitor?
Highly unlikely.

Anything but your opinion?

Have you read what's on Wikileaks?
Do you really care that the US is concerned with what India will do with the nuclear bomb?
Or who we like and who we don't?

If the US is hypocritical, I have no problem with that being brought to light.

The Berrigan's helped bring an end to the Vietnam war with their disclosures.

Traitor or hero, it depends on how you look at it.

Anyone providing information to everyone involved in these matters is a hero, not a traitor. Secrets are mostly used to protect the usurers, thieves, whores and wanna be tyrants from the people they are robbing. Any information providing insight into the real powers is very valuable to a republican form of government.

Considering Benedict Arnold’s actions I believe he, after saving the Revolution at Bennington at the cost of a leg and never being paid by the Continental Congress was completely justified to switch sides. Effectively he managed to get a pension and, IIRC, the girl from the British. His biggest problem was being a warrior in an army of independently wealthy proto bureaucrats.

First, they can't even prove Manning did it. Second, as mentioned above, no one is worse than Arnold.

He will never see the outside of a prison, or they will put him to death.

Another perfect display of a ZERO PRINCIPLE LIBERAL.

What part of SECRET SECURITY CLEARANCE and CLASSIFIED INFORMATION do you not understand?

And here all along I thought you held some sort of position within or around government that would make you privvy to such knowledge. That's certainly how you portray yourself. If youu do hold a position of trust, you should be fired on the spot. With this type of attitude, you are a breach waiting to happen.

Now to figure out just who you are............
