Just a reminder: Desmond Tutu salutes Manning (and thank Hank, I am on the right side of history.)

27. Most of them relate to the Bush era. Do you think Bush's crimes should protected from exposure?

This is what gets me, if those documents had been released just a year or earlier, every Democrat in the country would have been cheering them on and Manning would have been a hero, as others who exposed Bush crimes.

It seems to me that the ONLY reason for the anger at Manning by SOME on the Left was the timing of the release, that they never bothered to try to read any of them, assuming they were an attack on THEIR President.

What that means to me is that there are people on the left as well as on the right who never really cared about the issues they claimed to care about, it was all politics to them and they are now willing to turn a blind eye to Bush's crimes in a foolish and uninformed attempt to defend their 'team'.

I am glad we have found this out, because before all this I really believed that Democrats were very different from Republicans, that none of them would every put their party before this country. I was wrong and I'm always glad to learn important lessons like this.
