    Would you kill him yourself if you could?

    Re: Military Judge ruling on Bradley Manney (wikileaks source)

    what do you mean? If I was designated as the executioner? Or if I met him in an alley somewhere?

    I'd like to think Yes to #1, and No to #2.

    Manning.

    In order to stay open-source, I'll just post this link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bradley_Manning

    I guess it's been decided that prosecutors won't push for execution. So there you go. How do you take 112 days off of multiple life sentences?

    EDIT: HYPERBOLE ALERT! NOT MEANT LITERALLY!

    So, how does it work when the government aids the enemy by giving them tanks and F16's?

    I can't seem to think of any occations where the CIA provided tanks and fighter jets to our enemies. Did I miss something?

    Of course, the Obama administration has supplied a crap load of automatic weapons to the Mexican drug lords, so maybe thats the precedent I'm looking for. Nobody gives a crap that those weapons are killing police, Mexican military and civilians. Come to think of it, maybe we should ban the sale of automatic weapons to drug cartels.

    It's never the enemy, it's always allies against communism.

    Manning represents the vast majority of the planet in opposing the American war in Iraq.

    Manning represents the vast minority of people who committed a death-penalty offense, and yet is being cast as some sympathetic figure.

    Let's have an international vote on whom to prosecute, Manning or those who committed war crimes. In fact, even a national vote would win it for Manning. He's a hero.

    Let's have an international vote on whether or not to kill homosexuals and women who've been raped. Bet you those would win by more than prosecuting Manning. Christopher Doerner was a sympathetic hero to a lot of people. He only killed a few and was prepared for the consequences.

    There's a reason that we don't run our laws by popular vote, and especially by international popular vote. And there's a reason that military members are held to higher standards than even the random citizen.

    Treason by definition.

    It's slam dunk, whether you agree or disagree with the current leaders of our government.
