Allegedly did. You see? Comments like that are exactly the problem. Aren't we "innocent until proven guilty?" And that is why everyone is upset about Bradley Manning. He's been treated like a criminal though he's never been convicted.

There's no presumption of innocence in the military justice system. It's not common law, and military courts are heavily biased in the prosecution's favor.
