    I think the verdict was reasonable. Not guilty on aiding the enemy (he did but the proof wasn't strong enough) but guilty on the rest. He faces up to 150 years and I think he will see 20-30. I'd like to see the sentence be 50-60 years.

    The risk is you intimidate other potential whistle blowers from coming forward. This wasn't exactly a whistle blower situation though. The guy sent virtually every classified document he could get his hands on to someone that would publish them all on the WWW. If he selectively got certain documents published that told a story of crime and/or corruption, I think he should have gotten off on all charges.

    Compared to Snowden, who leaked specific information about the NSA spying on everyone and spying overseas too.

    Why would this possibly indimidate whistle blowers from coming forward?

    Because they don't want to go to jail for 150 years or face a firing squad.

    Last week all of promises to protect whistleblowers were removed from Obama's Change.org website, lol.


    Often the best source of information about waste, fraud, and abuse in government is an existing government employee committed to public integrity and willing to speak out. Such acts of courage and patriotism, which can sometimes save lives and often save taxpayer dollars, should be encouraged rather than stifled. We need to empower federal employees as watchdogs of wrongdoing and partners in performance. Barack Obama will strengthen whistleblower laws to protect federal workers who expose waste, fraud, and abuse of authority in government. Obama will ensure that federal agencies expedite the process for reviewing whistleblower claims and whistleblowers have full access to courts and due process.


    Poof! Gone.

    Can a mod change the title to the proper spelling of this maggot's name? It's "Manning", not "Manney".
