Manning has not been tried. He is innocent as of now. He will be defended under the whistle-blower laws. He saw wrongdoing, he tried to talk to his superiors about it. They, apparently involved in the wrongdoing, ignored him. He is a very brave person risking all to try to expose crimes against humanity.

It is illegal to hold someone in solitary confinement. You show a severe lack of understanding of the laws that govern this nation. Especially the underlying reasons for them.

Because to succumb to such a state of mind, would make me as bad as they are. And to any decent human being, that is unthinkable.
