In reply to the discussion: The Humiliation of Bradley Manning. Had he only checked first to see if he meet with Whistleblower [View all]sabrina 1
(62,325 posts)You could of course take the trouble to read his own words on why he did what he did.
He became a Whistle Blower after his complaints about the war crimes he witnessed were ignored.
Btw, what is your opinion of the torturers? Regardless of Bradley Manning no one has yet denied that what prompted him to report what he was aware of actually happened.
Should they also be prosecuted in your opinion? We claim that 'we don't do torture'. That claim has been totally debunked and we know in many cases who the criminals are. Yet not a thing has been done to bring them to justice.
He believed that his government opposed torture. He found out the hard way how wrong he was.
So what is your position on the War Criminals who have yet to be even questioned about their crimes?
Do you even know what prompted him to, as he said, 'change his views' regarding his work? I would hope not, or I can't imagine any progressive democrat saying what you just did about someone who did not just decide in a vacuum to risk his freedom, which he knew he was doing. I'm assuming you do not know much about this case.
