Manning found not guilty of aiding the enemy
 

Seems Manning was found not guilty of "aiding" the enemy. However, he was found guilty on most other charges, and had also plead guilty to other charges.

excellent news, that would have been some precedent.

great news, did he plead guilty to the espionage?

bradley manning is a homosexual, he reportedly involved gay sex in the deal with either wikieaks or even a third party involved in the abrupt scandal.

these people are traitors not heroes, they are just more prize babies for the headlines, it gets all dressed up and presenting to us as there, this is how i want it to be while i have the opportunity.

He pled guilty to some espionage charges, but not sure if it was specifically these EA violations that he just got convicted of. My impression is those are slightly worse.

But yeah, an "Aiding the enemy" conviction would've had serious ripple effect. Now the most sane yet realistic course of action would be the lightest sentence possible under the convictions (which still will be substantial). In a truly just world the dude would be pardoned after his 3 years imprisonment, but politically that ain't gonna happen.

....And how exactly is this relevant? How did a homophobe get on an adult webmaster board anyway?

.

my understanding was he tried to show the info to superiors, and barring that, national newspapers.

if someone is guilty of espionage, it's the military organization itself for not having some form of checks and balances system.

considering their second in command just did some leaks himself, id have to agree with myself :1orglaugh

With what he has pleaded guilty to he would get a minimum of twenty years (I believe).
