Manning indiscriminately leaked tons of diplomatic cables, as part of a personal vendetta against the US Army. It is without contention that the vast majority of the leaked cables revealed nothing that anyone considers wrongdoing. This wasn't the act of a whistle blower. It was the cowardly act of someone who put their own petty fantasies ahead of their solemn duty to protect the information they were entrusted with by the people of this country.
This is nothing but Obama pandering to the left.
EDIT: How telling that this comment has been flagged. Downvoting opinions you don't like is bad enough, trying to kill them altogether by flagging betrays a serious contempt for open discourse.
