That's understandable, but Manning's sentence has been unusually cruel in its execution, and unjust when compared to other people who did without being punished

That's understandable, but Manning's sentence has been unusually cruel in its execution, and unjust when compared to other people who did without being punished at all.
See, e.g. the conduct that Colin Powell described in this email:

- the_duke 10y agoIs there a list of emails that contain actual unfavorable/damning information?
- Natsu 10y agoYes, although IMHO it's not a very good one. Some of these should be taken with salt - http://www.mostdamagingwikileaks.com/ http://www.mostdamagingwikileaks.com/
- sjy 10y agoFor example, #6 claims that 'Hillary's campaign' wants an 'unaware and compliant citizenry,' on the basis of an unsolicited email to Podesta using that phrase to describe Trump's campaign strategy!
- Natsu 10y agoAssuming you're talking about this email - https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/3599 https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/3599 It's oversold, yes, but as far as I can tell, it's this Bill Ivey (NEA chairman under Clinton, Obama transition team member) and not some random spammer - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Ivey https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Ivey Other correspondence can be found here - https://search.wikileaks.org/?q=bi%40globalculturalstrategies.com https://search.wikileaks.org/?q=bi%40globalculturalstrategie...
- Natsu 10y agoI should also mention that it's fairly incomplete. E.G. no mention of this one that Wikileaks tweeted earlier regarding Taiwan - https://wikileaks.org/clinton-emails/emailid/23730#efmAEGAEhAHiAIYANlAOG https://wikileaks.org/clinton-emails/emailid/23730#efmAEGAEh...
- sjy 10y agoAre you saying that Colin Powell should have been imprisoned for using a PDA against the wishes of the NSA/CIA?
- Natsu 10y agoI'm saying that all people should get equal justice under law.
