Manning did a great services to mankind to expose actions of the US military in Iraq and related. The US invasion in Iraq was based on lies and caused death, destruction, violence, torture, etc. for many humans. Manning helped to expose some of these actions. > That's not a principled stand against what the military is doing. Yeah, she should have done it in some more orderly way. WTF? |

If I'm upset and download a bunch of documents onto a flash drive and send it to a person that is nice to me, and it just so happens that in amongst the hundreds of thousands of miscellaneous documents is some scrap of evidence of wrongdoing, it doesn't make me a hero for doing it.
If on the other hand I find that evidence and expose it purposefully because I have principles, that's another story.
Intent has meaning when you're defending a person's actions.
