the US claims 'we do not do'. He reported it to his superiors, he was ignored, innocent people, Iraqis who we were told we were there to 'free from a dictator' were being handed over by the US, THE US, to the wonderful Iraqi 'police', trained by US btw, and tortured for .... GUESS WHAT?? I'll let you tell me since you are apparently so informed about this case.
I am looking forward to you telling me why Manning should have kept his mouth shut and how reporting torture equals 'a gleeful attempt, by an individual with access to classified data, to damage the ability of the US to conduct its foreign policy'. Just how is trying to stop torture 'damaging the US'? Didn't we go to Iraq to 'shut down Saddam Hussein's torture chambers'???? Well, that's what Bush told us 
Please inform us about the details of the events that prompted Manning to go to his superiors in the first place, then to the US media and finally to Wikileaks? Unless of course you do not know. Or worse, unless you agree with Bush's torture policies which I am sure you do not as you are here on a Democratic forum which totally opposed, as Manning does, Bush's war crimes of torture and lies.
