Bradley Manning was found guilty of most of the charges against him, but not of aiding the enemy.
I bet anybody in the press who is willing to print leaked information is breathing a huge sigh of relief right now.
FORT MEADE, Md. (AP) — More than three years after U.S. Army Pfc. Bradley Manning was arrested for giving classified secrets to WikiLeaks, a military judge acquitted the former intelligence analyst Tuesday of aiding the enemy but convicted him of espionage

It was a BS charge unless the government considers the US public the "enemy". I am not saying what he did was smart. But freedom of the press has got to be protected. Whistler blowers need to be protected.

yeah, unfortunately he WAS convicted of espionage, and that's almost as bad as the other BS charge

@dawnald he did not sell the information. he did not give it foreign governments. he gave it to a website that is for the purpose of exposing corruption and lies. how is that espionage?

@lilwonders456 You'd have to ask the judge as I don't see it as espionage either.

I had never heard of him prior to reading your post.
lilwonders says - It was a BS charge unless the government considers the US public the "enemy"
Probably more truth in that than you might think
