(62,325 posts)legal, why did the US Government refuse to hand it over to Reuters to demonstrate how legal the killing of their two employees was? If they had nothing to worry about, why were they hiding the evidence that would have cleared them of the allegations being made?
Manning is not the one being 'supported'. The Rule of Law is what I support. And when a war is illegal, when people as high in office as the POTUS and his VP lie to get this country into a disastrous war that kills thousands of our troops and countless numbers of innocent civilians, THEY are the ones who should be on trial and anyone who tries to expose their crimes is a hero, and every death that occurs as a result of war started by lies, is a war crime.
Had this information become public while Bush was still in office, not one Democrat would be doing anything other than calling Manning and Wikileaks heroes.
