ACCORDING TO NEWS REPORTS

'....FORT MEADE, Maryland — Bradley Manning, the U.S. soldier convicted of the biggest breach of classified data in the nation's history by providing files to Wikileaks, was sentenced Wednesday morning to 35 years in prison. Judge Colonel Denise Lind, who last month convicted Manning of 20 charges including espionage and theft, could have sentenced him to as many as 90 years in prison. Prosecutors had asked for 60 years.....'


'.....Manning, 25, will be dishonorably discharged from the U.S. military and forfeit some pay, Lind said. His rank will be reduced to private from private first class. Manning would be eligible for parole after serving one-third of his sentence
which will be reduced by the time he has already served in prison plus 112 days. Wearing dress uniform, slightly built Manning stood at attention as the sentence was read, seeming to show no emotion. As he was escorted out of the courtroom, supporters shouted "Bradley, we are with you."....'


'.....Elizabeth Goitein, co-director of the Liberty and National Security Program at the Brennan Center for Justice, called the sentence "unprecedented" in its magnitude. "It's more than 17 times the next longest sentence ever served" for providing secret material to the media, Goitein said. "It is in line with sentences for paid espionage for the enemy.".....'

So bradley was involved in whstleblowing aganst the worst excesses of abuse of power of the usa military, shooting at will at civilians.....and no one has died from his actions, but now we have war drums from the usa and the baldy idiot totally useless hague from the uk threatening assad with firepower, when all accounts show it is the rebels using chemical substancea if anyone is, assad would have to be mad to use them.....as he would get found out.... god knows how many they will kill....charming....not...and they all do it in the name of???

remember thr uk and the usa are supporting al quaeda and radical islamists in this civil war, you just could NOT make it up, madness

Emma I 100% agree with you. What this does is set a precedent for harsh treatment of whistleblowers and enables harsh punishments beyond the damage of the supposed crime. Good sheep don't rebel or ask questions, especially while governed under the NDAA and Patriot Act.
