Ironically, the Reuters article doesn't mention that Manning leaked the video of their own journalists being gunned down by American forces.

1. In view of Bush,Cheney,Rumsfeld,the NSA

This is just a travesty. Another indication of elitism at work. 35 years is way over the top.

2. So sad that the people who, in truth, sold out our country...

...are walking in freedom, while condemning the Mannings and the Snowdens of this world.

"“Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”
