That is an internal problem in the US that should be addressed. Maybe
when that Manning kid gets 20 years in Leavenworth people will start
respecting the security clearances they have.
The "good democrat" president, FDR, would have had Manning shot by now


Those were different times and the circumstances are totally
different. That said, I do think he should go to prison for a long
time. He broke the law. I don't think he should be isolated and
perhaps psychologically tortured, which is what seems to be happening



If the stuck him in a marine "red line" brig like Portsmouth he would
long for the peace and quiet of his little cell.
I do think they should have charged him with something by now. They
can charge him with a UCMJ violation (like an article 134) that would
not prevent further federal charges and they would have a legal reason
to keep him locked up until Holder figures out what he is going to do.

The fact still remains, military justice is not civilian justice and
lots of things you think of as rights do not exist. That is something
they tell you on day one of boot camp.
This is still an improvement over the old "articles of war" the
military used to abide by.


Which has nothing to do with how he's being treated.
