6. He's not been found guilty yet. So technically he's innocent.

No offense intended, but your emotions don't make laws and don't constitute due process. If he's guilty, put him on trial and let the court come to that conclusion.

Until then, he has yet to be charged or tried per the law and the Constitution regardless of the personal opinions of outside observers like you and me.

Better hope you are never accused of something and thrown in the brig without due process, with no chance to be heard in a court of law. Because if it could happen to Manning it could happen to anyone. And that includes you. This sets a very dangerous precedent, especially for future administrations. It's terrifying actually.
