What's interesting is the way Bush's war crimes are ignored in any discussion about Manning et.
Ooooh, Manning broke the law, I am such a fair-minded democrat that I will make sure Republicans see how willing I am to point that out.
And then, it stops there. I have yet to see any of those harping on the Whistle Blowers's law relatively minor law breaking, then go on to point out that 'however, this is a minor issue considering what he was exposing'.
It's interesting to see democrats protecting Bush/Cheney now when for eight years they were railing against them, slamming the MSM for NOT reporting on the crimes, screaming for 'impeachment', then when someone comes along and actually does that, AFTER Bush is gone from office, they do an about turn and point their fingers AWAY from the War Criminals and directly at the person they claimed to be waiting for while Bush was in office.
Because most of what Manning revealed WAS about the Bush era.
The attacks on Whistle Blowers are a defense of Wall St and War Crimiinals and all of their horrific policies, plain and simple, and that is how I view them.
And that is why Cheney, Fleischer, Palin, Bush, King, Boehner et al slam the Whistle Blowers and call for their prosecution as well as the prosecution of any media that publishes their leads.
