WikiLeaks Closure Today

A military judge brings some closure to the three-year-old WikiLeaks saga today. She'll sentence Army Pvt. Bradley Manning for leaking classified information to the web site. Prosecutors want Manning to spend 60 years in prison for violating the Espionage Act and other laws. Manning's defense attorneys are hoping for 25 years. They have tried to paint a sympathetic portrait of a gay and idealistic, if misguided, soldier in a repressive military culture that ignored signs of mental illness. Manning apologized to the courtroom last week, saying he thought he was helping and not hurting people.

For blowing the whistle on the governments' ILLEGAL activities?

These criminals get a pass while the one who reported on criminal actions gets thrown in jail. Unfreakingbelievable.

Almost as bad is people like you defend the CRIMINALS!

No wonder this country is going down the toilet.
