Ok, so he doesn't like how the US operates. So what?

What exactly is unconstitutional that he is whistleblowing about here? Where are the American people being lied to?

Most, if not all of these cables have nothing to do with unconstitutional actions taking place behind the backs of the American people.

I don't know if it's unconstitutional for the State Department to pressure the German government to not pursue the 13 CIA agents who were responsible for the kidnapping and torture of an innocent German citizen,[1] but I think it's disgusting and I'm glad Manning leaked this info.

That said, I don't think he should have leaked as much as he did.

I said "poke at the garments covering the underbelly of power". Nothing more, nothing less. Debate or accept that, not strawmen.
