Don't knock the teens and tweens. They are the people who will be changing your diapers and feeling the brunt of these illegal laws when the evil bastards take control of the world and start rounding up anyone who opposes them. Hopefully there will be no whistle blowers engaged in diaper changing ....

I have no problem with him using the four letter words. They get the point across quite nicely. When you are talking about a sinister plot to enslave the whole world/nation you need to get your point across. Its no time for political correctness when politics are corrupt and evil. I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about tweens and teens....Picky, picky, picky...but I do have a teenage grandson who spends a lot of time on the net...I don't want him to pick up bad habits..... Instead of worrying about your grandson picking up "bad habits" like cursing, you should worry about him being kidnapped and taken away to who knows where if he ever speaks out against those in power. How do YOU KNOW I don't? I don't. Perhaps you worry about everything. But four letter words pale by comparison. Should we teach our children and grand children to be polite obedient slaves then? You teach yours what you wish to teach them and I'll do the same with mine...straying off topic with this aren't you Jeannie?

I'm not straying off topic at all. Bradly was all about exposing the truth. So is this particular video. I chose not to pollute the world with more people so I'm not worried about my grand children. I do have some nieces and nephews though.

Yes I believe that anyone who tells the truth should be treated with respect and not punished. After all we teach our children not to tell lies. Remember that people in charge are elected to do good for the greatest number of people. Bradley Manning should not be punished.

We are not talking about the woman that exposed ENRON or the agents that exposed Fast and Furious. We are talking about someone that leaked classified information with the sole purpose of embarrassing the country he took an oath to defend. What does his releasing diplomatic cables have to do with telling the truth about Iraq? He is bound by the UCMJ and should be prosecuted...

Absolutely, and American military will take care of it, this one doesn't concern other countries.....They can clean up their own back yards...

I think a new medal should be made up just for him called "The Benedict Arnold" and he should be awarded a post in the North Korean Army.

The Truth Only Harms Those Who Have Something To Hide.

More often than not, "classified information" is only classified in order to cover up war crimes and corruption. What's true is true. The information he exposed did not hurt anyone.

Truth is covered up and classified because your leaders think you can't handle the truth. I can handle the truth. I want the truth. I will know the truth. The evil elite and their corrupting of this world will be exposed. Their time is up and they know it.

Not meaning to be rude Jeannie, but you would have no way of knowing why classified info is classified unless you the one classifying it...

Yes I would. However, I am talking percentages here. I said "more often than not.."

Even Robert Gates, the Pentagon chief, mocked alarmism over the diplomatic cables leak as "significantly overwrought", dismissing its impact as "fairly modest". Manning's lawyer is seeking internal government documents that, he insists, concluded there was no meaningful harm to US diplomatic relations from the release of any documents. None of the leaked documents were classified at the highest level of secrecy – top secret – but rather bore only low-level classification.

Yes, the high level classification is even too high for the President to know about. Seriously, they do have a classified level that high. Above top secret by several levels. That's because the President is a figurehead. He is not really the person running the world. er... I mean the country. Don't ask me how I know this. That's classified.

Don't ask me how I know this. That's classified. Are you part of the Company?

Just want to point out that it doesn't matter what Manning stole from his employer, the United States Military, what matters is that he broke his sworn oath to his employer and now he will have to face the consequences...Stealing is stealing....I would think all you truth seekers would be able to grasp this concept...
