Daniel Ellsberg Sees Bradley Manning's Conviction As The BEGINNING OF THE POLICE STATE

43. The material released by Manning was determined to have cause not damage.

Talk to Gates about it, he disagrees with you.

Manning knew what he was releasing. He COULD have released material that would have harmed people, but deliberately chose not to do so.

All of the material is CATEGORIZED into various levels of 'classification'. It would not take a rocked scientist to know what was 'top secret' and what was not. He had access to that material.

As Ellsberg explained, he knew what he was releasing. He clearly did not want to harm the country as he stated himself. Which is why they were unable to point to any specific incidence where the material harmed anyone.

As Gates said 'was it embarrassing, yes, harmful, no'.

Iow, it was like going to the library where the books are categorized. If you want to find some true crime material, you can go directly to that category and know you won't find 'Charlotte's Web' there.
