Bradley Manning sentenced, found not guilty of aiding the enemy

Sounds like he got the book thrown at him for 19 lesser charges, unfortunately, and all that prison time adds up to at least 20 years, if he serves his time concurrently. The treatment of Manning by the U.S. government has been shameful, and they have communicated to future whistleblowers that the U.S. justice system must be evaded at all costs.

Why the hell do you think Snowden fled the country?  For his health?

Clone war! Okay, back on topic, at least it's only 20 years. Good luck, Snowden, and here's hoping he reveals everything.

Humanity does learn from history,
sadly, they're rarely the ones in power.
