Some of the people behind bars are because they did something that was morally right but condoned by the government. While I can't argue for the guy mentioned in the article, people like Bradley Manning are wasting away their lives. Do you really don't want to help these victims?

I don't like doing this (replying without actually extending the conversation) but you've missed a word:

  morally right but not condoned by the government.

This guy doesn't belong in the same category as Manning and Aaron Swartz.
How was what Chelsea Manning did morally right? Leaking that much information that could put other peoples' lives at risk isn't exactly morally right.
