Christopher Boyce (22 years) and Andrew Lee (22 years) aka The Falcon and the Snowman

Christopher Boyce was released after serving 24 years of a 40 year sentence in 2002 even though he escaped from the federal pen and was recaptured.

Andrew Lee was released after serving 22 years of a 40 year initial sentence for espionage.


These two stole government secrets and sold them to the Soviet Union.


Go see the Falcon and the Snowman, its a great movie.



Bradley Manning exposed dirty government secrets from a dirty little war. He made no money and did it because he felt the public needed to know. He received 35 years today, but will get credit for time served and 112 days, maybe as credit for enduring torture.

Fair? hell no.
