Ten Revelations From Bradley Manning's WikiLeaks Documents

[AnalystInParadise]

40. Ok Manning defenders which story are you sticking with?

That Bradley Manning did no damage because he released nothing of value

OR

OH NOES WAR CRIMEZ EVERYWHEREZ.....MANNING EXPOSES ALL OF THEM.....

Because I think I, and most people would at least ask you all to please be consistent. Your defend Manning at all cost rationale has you spinning all over the place.

As for this, I am going with my same consistent point that I have repeated over and over again. Bradley Manning exposed no war crimes. These are all reports. Reports are not analyzed and correlated intelligence. They may be true, they may all be false. That's the key. that all the non Military Intelligence types don't understand. Raw Intelligence is so dangerous to leak because it isn't fused, analyzed and correlated. It is not ready for dissemination because it hasn't been scrubbed to prevent spillage, it hasn't been verified for accuracy, and it is dangerous because its unfinished state could lead to misunderstandings if it was leaked before correlation. Now please return to calling anyone who isn't in your "defend precious Bradley" circle all kinds of names and continue to not even attempt to rebut anyone who disagrees with you.
