The Army PVT manning case

I just read a NY Times article on this bozo - which tried to paint him as a kid from a broken home, etc, etc. Ok, so he had it rough and got teased by some Brit kids, descended into the hacker culture and went gay.

Who gives a toejam? He's done more damage to the intel capabilities of this nation and compromised methods and sources then Aldric Ames or even Robert Hansen.

Despite his poor and sad childhood(boohoo) still doesnt excuse what he did. I would consider it treason. The bottom line is, he is still subject to the UCMJ as well as al the national security laws he broke.

So..... Oprah Winfrey was a paid hooker. Look where she is at.

Your upbringing might be why you are piece of trash but it is not an excuse once your old enough to know better...... which is about the time your out of diapers.

Agreed - still teason, and the NYT forgetting that fact. If this were still the Cold War I can't believe this consersation piece would be so flippant.

His actions either already have, or WILL have, caused the deaths of innocent people who trusted us. Little bastard should be executed

Excuses, excuses.  I bet good money we could find more than one fine patriotic example today that came from a similar background and that enjoys the same off-duty activities and lifestyle as Pvt Bozo but that has no desire to betray our country or kill inocents over something as petty as an ego or money.  Hang the traitor.

Really???  Oprah was a hooker???   

[tmetal]

wow oprah was a hooker? no wonder she is in daytime tv now, the way she looks there is no way she could have made a living before

I have it let's turn the fool over to the families of the informants that he outed.

Not everything can be blamed on "upbringing".  Hanoi-Jane had everything anyone could want growing up and look how she turned out.    She betrays her country and ends up owning half of Montana.

I think civilians should just stay out of this matter.....lock him up for life....don't give him the easy way out.
