The deplorable treatment of Manning is a sad reminder that the military industrial complex laughs at silly concepts like human rights when someone dares to expose its practices to sunlight.
What Manning did, he knew was a violation of the UCMJ. Every military member knows this. He broke military law. If you murder someone, you know it's wrong. If you are caught, you know what the consequences are. Manning knew what the consequences would be if he were caught before he committed his crime and now he has to pay for his crime. Same as if you were to murder someone.

His agony will end soon as they execute him. What do you think the guy should have expected, a Nobel Peace Prize?

If he claims he can do that, what can't he do? Could someone please explain to me what he can't do?
Until further notice, he cannot unilaterally raise the debt ceiling. But I expect him to ignore that just any day now.

So may bloodthirsty psycopaths here, ugh, they obliviously ignore that there is a Universal Law of Retribution (i.e., karma, sowing & reaping, law of attraction, etc.), so it shall be done onto you as you wish onto others!
