I don't think she's a hero, or a villain really. I believe she did commit treason, and should have been punished far longer than she was. That said, I've met Manning, and I believe she suffers from deep psychological issues, both before her imprisonment, and certainly after. I think she needs help, and should've been confined to a hospital for her sentence, instead of the brig. We should not glorify those who break the law, no matter their justifications. The ends do not justify the means in these circumstances.
