Bradley Manning is a traitor.

2. Bradley Manning is a hero.

You are right, the character attacks just show that it often takes people who are on the edge, with the least to lose, to stand up and call the establishment out. How many incidents of brutal murderous overkill are hidden away in the files and stacks of videos from Iraq and Afghanistan? At least Manning was able to bring one to light. Was anyone held responsible? I don't think so.

Millions of people have clearances allowing them to access the diplomatic info, yet Manning, who shows the farce that is our foreign policies, is the one charged. Thanks goodness he felt free of the bubble of bullshit and got this secret crap to the people who pay for it.
Lets continue to write and support the guy in his hour of need.
