What is the reason the GLBT Community doesn't support Bradley Manning?

254. Ellsberg is a hero for the Pentagon Papers

that does not make him an expert on what Manning did. Ellsberg is an expert on what Ellsberg did. And no you have not presented a fact that effects Manning's court martial. A fact of that kind would be a regulation that show Manning did not break the law. You have presented zero facts. Ellsberg supporting Manning does not prove Manning's innocence or prove that Manning did the right thing, all it proves is that Ellsberg agrees with Manning. It is a fact the Ellsberg supports Manning, so huzzah you finally posted a fact. Unfortunately it does nothing to help Manning.

So again please show me a fact that proves Manning exposed a war crime, a fact that shows Manning is innocent, or a fact that shows Manning should not spend many decades in Federal prison. I am not going anywhere, I have all eternity (or at least until Manning's court marital) to talk about this with you. You want so badly for Manning to be set free, but he won't because self confessed criminals almost never go free. And that is what he is.
