If Bradley Manning is guilty, he doesn't deserve sympathy.

I don't understand the drive by some here to claim over and over that Manning exposed war crimes, when he did no such thing, they cannot prove he did, and yet they turn and personally attack anyone who uses facts to show that Manning is a criminal. If people want to have sympathy for Manning, that is fine with me, just don't get bent out of shape if some of us formerly in Intelligence want him to pay a heavy price. What terrible thing will happen if I continue posting facts that demonstrate Manning is a criminal and uncovered no war crimes. Anyone who uses facts, and military regulations to prove that Manning is in fact guilty of the crimes he engaged is called a fascist, an authortarian, a supporter of George Bush, a Cheney apologist or a war criminal themselves. Genuine political disagreement could be achieved without being called a war criminal by people who have no idea what it means and are supporting a young man who in this case is the real criminal.
