Nobody cares what Bradley Manning thinks or says. He's a convicted, treasonous lowlife. Too bad he wasn't serving in the Russian military when he committed treason. They would have showed him what traitors get.

This guy lives a better life than some people in America, and that's a real shame. No matter what you think of Bradley Manning, Edward Snowden, or anyone like them, they are traitors. Full stop. The government may not always do the right thing, but to violate the law to prove a point or a set of points does not make you right, even if the government is doing the wrong thing in your opinion.

True. Lets hope America always has brave 'traitors' like Snowden who open our eyes to the terrifying rabbit hole our government is racing down. Else we might lose all our precious freedom. For instance the freedom to speak out openly, and act with an expectation of privacy, and criticize our government without having to flee it. Else we all might end up 'traitors' at the whim of some government functionary.
