Bradley Manning found not guilty of aiding the enemy but is found guilty on 20 other counts

[url=http://edition.cnn.com/2013/07/30/justice/manning-court-martial/index.html?hpt=hp_t1]Source[/url] [quote]A military court has found Pfc. Bradley Manning, accused of the largest leak of classified information in U.S. history, not guilty of aiding the enemy -- a charge that would have carried a maximum sentence of life in prison. He was found guilty of most of the remaining charges against him, with the judge accepting some of the guilty pleas he made previously to lesser charges. Manning still faces the prospect of years, if not decades, behind bars. He was found guilty on 20 counts. The sentencing phase of the court-martial begins Wednesday, and Manning faces up to a maximum 136 years in prison.[/quote]

  • On one hand, leaking stuff about a government doing bad stuff is a good idea. On the other, leaking the government doing bad stuff during a war in which the civilian population could with either the US or it's enemies, would probably spark large amounts of retaliation against the US, and possibly even cause some of those civilians to side with whom the US is against. Causing even more death, and is detrimental to the goals of the US military in that area. US gov. isn't pissed about the shady shit that's been leaked, US gov. is pissed about the mess it's going to cause. Just sayin.
