6. Had more respect for WikiLeaks as a purveyor of hard data than Anonymous' theatrical videos.

I thoroughly agree with this part:

“To this day, not ONE single WikiLeaks staff are charged or incarcerated,” the Anonymous post explains. “However, Anonymous has 14 indicted (facing 15 years) for online protests defending WikiLeaks – and one (Jeremy Hammond) in prison and facing 20 years for allegedly supplying the Stratfor GI Files. Not to mention the heroic Bradley Manning who now rots in Ft. Leavenworth Prison facing life.”

WikiLeaks should have been helping Manning all along, as (correct me if wrong) they made their reputation off the classified files he gave them. He thought he was going to save lives, do the right thing by violating his oath to answer to a higher calling. He's the one suffering, along with anyone else who did the same thing.

What the hell is going on here, a media show?
