Pfc. Bradley Manning. Manning, whether under § 793e of the Espionage Act (willfully releasing U.S. documents and information relating to the national defense that he had reason to believe could be used to the injury of the United States or to the advantage of any foreign nation). or other related charges, will likely spend the remainder of his life in a military prison.



"Bradley’s gonna become a “spy” whose “espionage” consisted of making the activities of a democratic government visible to its voting population. With the New York Times publishing the fruits of his misdeeds. Some set of American prosecutorial lawyers is confronting this crooked legal hairpin right now. I feel sorry for them."
