(62,325 posts)Facts are all that matter, and that is what Manning released. Information that should never have been classified in a Democracy in the first place. No wonder they tried to hide the facts, they revealed some very inconvenient truths about both parties.
Not much we didn't know on the Left, we KNEW the Bush gang lied, were war criminals and that nothing has been done about it. But we learned a few things from the few more recent cables, we learned that while we thought Democrats would never condone, let alone protect war criminals, that we were very, very wrong. I remember how we once thought there was hope of investigations, of prosecutions, of the truth about the Bush War Criminals coming to light once we elected Democrats, but now we know better. And it's far better not to have expectations and be disappointed than to have the facts.
Now that we have that valuable information which we are entitled to, we can make better decisions as citizens.
So thank you Bradley Manning for helping us understand what seemed to be a mystery, inexplicable, for a while. We know know the truth. And that enhances the power of the people as it should.
