66. Manning knew the risks and still took them. What does that

tell you? He felt this information was important enough that the public's right to know superseded the punishment he knew he would endure. He also stated that he could of sold this information for money but believed it belonged in the public sector.

I believe he is a hero, just like the guy who released the Abu Ghraib films and photos. Wrong is wrong is wrong, and I am sorry Pvt Manning will either lose his life or spend the rest of it incarcerated.

One rule I learned early in life, not every thing is black or white, there are areas of grey.
