Manning gets slapped with 35 years in prison!

[quote=Searz][quote=SkidmarkD] Ze government get it's powers from the consent of the governed, as stated in both the constitution and the UDHR, but if ze people don't know about it, does the government have the authority to do it?[/quote] Exactly, my boy/middle aged man/old man! [quote=XeresAce] LOL america I wonder when politicians will realize that their secrets are bound to be leaked someday...[/quote] Please share your boundless intelligence with us mortals.[/quote]

[quote=Bweezle]Given the amount of documents leaked, it's likely that Manning hasn't even been charged with the full range of possible charges, which the government could hold onto until their statute of limitations runs up. I reality, I don't think Manning could see this going any other way. Soldiers are briefed about how severe penalties for leaking even the tiniest bit of non-public information can be. She knew what would happen and she chose to follow through. As I haven't had the time to read the documents leaked, I can't comment on how just or unjust this sentence is on a moral level.[/quote]

[quote=XeresAce][quote = searz]Both.[/quote] Oh well, I guess you can't get everyone to like you :3[/quote]

[quote=Mooninites]35 years isn't that harsh considering he avoided life in prison for major classified leaks. [quote] You know the justice system in your country is bullshit when someone who revealed some secrets gets 35 years, but actual war criminals like Dick Cheney get nothing. [/quote] Dick Cheney was convicted by the Kuala Lumpur council, which has absolutely no legitimacy and no legal basis. It's not even recognized by the UN. So he's no more a war criminal than if joe schmo down the street were to declare him a war criminal[/quote]

[quote=Darcurse]Snowden, Manning whoever... Murica judging them for leaking information that shouldn't be existing/was acquired illegaly? Well you can't get more hypocritical. How about rest of the world judgind Murica first then? Sounds fair to me.[/quote]

[quote=Toshabi][quote=SkidmarkD] Might be, but he wants to be a lady, who are you/we to deny him his request? And he could've gotten away with it, but his gender issues made him confide in someone he shouldn't have trusted. [/quote] He has a penis. That's a guy. It's scary that people like you exist, who would knowingly encourage a mentally handicap man to want to pursue such fantasies.[/quote]
