Shouldn't the public already have access to this information

At his trial, Manning said he gave the material to the secrets-spilling website WikiLeaks to expose the U.S. military's "bloodlust"

Or do they just not want us to know about this?

[Twenky]

35 years is a good sentence, 1 year is long as forget.. imagine 35 years in the same 2x3m space

[Doughboy]

35 years is more than enough

[BuildaBox]

Don't we need more people like Snowden and Manning? If it wasn't for them we wouldn't know about how bad the lack of privacy and tyranny of the government and military really is.

[AromaniaFTW]

do we really have to know everything?
i bet terrorists go on wikileaks to see what they can fish out and use.

[DrenDran]

I'm surprised people here actually want to see him get locked up.
He didn't actually hurt anyone, if anything he's fighting for freedom and transparency in government, which is the oppisite.

You don't need government secrets to put a blasting cap in some fertilizer lol

I don't need someone to come right and tell me that my government is hiding things from me, because it is (or at least SHOULD be) common knowledge. Anyone who is utterly shocked to find out that their government spies on its residents and discloses secret information to foreign countries should be slapped upside the head.

Seriously, you're on the grid mother forgeter. Stop being so loving annoyed at every little thing your government does because it doesn't tend to you and wipe your stinking ass. Holy stuff, just enjoy life and be grateful you live in some place where you can do almost loving anything and your limbs aren't removed when you step out of line.

35 years is way too loving long, by the way.

[Ben Grapevine]

He will be out in less than 10 years

[Acerblock]

nevermind.

I agree with everything else you said, but this just gets me.
Since when is "good enough" good enough?

good enough is never good enough because everyone has to complain about something

I'm sorry, who are you talking to?

do you only post things that reflect your parents feelings or do you genuinely function this way

[Tayasaurus]

I think he should be in there a bit longer.

You're handicapped. He's still a human being. I'm not of the mind that we drain any more than that of his life at all. Screw you.

Keeping the government agenda exposed is good for the people.

[Khorde]

Keeping the government agenda exposed is good for the people.

or is it? Really, the information that he disclosed hardly affected me as an individual and everyone is still living safe and sound as they were prior to this reveal.

Either way, I'm fine with it being secret or public because what I'm getting at is that it won't matter.

OH stuff LMAO
