nsane.forums Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 WikiLeaks' best known leaker provided Cablegate docs, "Collateral Murder" video.Manning will not be free anytime soon.After a military trial that lasted nearly two months, a military judge has found Private Bradley Manning guilty of most of the counts that he faced, but not guilty of charges of “aiding the enemy," the most serious of the remaining 12 charges he faced. However, the young soldier was convicted of espionage, theft and computer fraud charges.As The Guardian reported from the courtroom: "The judge also accepted Manning’s version of several of the key dates in the WikiLeaks disclosures, and took off some of the edge from other less serious charges. But the overriding toughness of the verdict remains: the soldier was found guilty in their entirety of 17 out of the 22 counts against him, and of an amended version of four more."The British newspaper reporter present at the Fort Meade, Maryland courtroom also wrote that Manning's family is "disappointed in today’s verdicts, but happy that Judge agreed Brad never intended to help America’s enemies."During a pre-trial hearing in February 2013, US Army Private First Class Bradley Manning famously admitted to supplying WikiLeaks with the massive trove of diplomatic cable documents along with the video that came to be known as “Collateral Murder.”Manning had previously pled guilty to 10 of the 22 total charges, including “mishandling classified material.”In February 2013, Manning said that by disclosing the information that he did, he "felt I accomplished something that would allow me to have a clear conscience."On its Twitter account, WikiLeaks wrote on Tuesday, "Manning faces 136 years on the charges he has been convicted of today. Dangerous national security extremism from the Obama administration."The Associated Press reports that the Col. Denise Lind, the judge in the case, won't hold a sentencing hearing until Wednesday, at 9:30am Eastern Time. The government has prepared a list of many witnesses that will appear before the court in the coming days as part of the sentencing hearings.View: Original Article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambrocious Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 That poor guy...he is a hero for showing the crimes committed yet he is treated like a dog. If we ever succeed at turning this nation around, I would like to see him freed from prison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Bradley Manning did was leak information about crimes against humanity, which he in turn is imprisoned and treated inhumanely. The USA government is mostly tyrannical; it's a free for all of crime with no end in sight. I want for the republic to be restored because this oligarchy is killing the nation.

Too many people with anti USA agendas are using this case as their own soapbox of hate. The USA is not perfect by any stretch of the imagination....but at least there are institutions, bodies and a free press that will speak up when the government steps out of line or tries to cover up its wrongdoings and there are millions of ordinary folk there who will fight for that freedom of speech and the politicians know that. There are plenty of countries where that precious freedom doesn't exist. You can voice your support or criticism of soldier Manning, you have that right...but beware of those who would use your support for their own aims.
