When rights of Imaginary Property ("IP") are upheld more vigilantly than the rights of due process (see: Manning, NDAA, SOPA, PIPA, OPEN, etc), you know the system of checks and balances is broken.

Manning is being given due process, and his offense had nothing to do with IP any more than that of Julius Rosenberg or Jonathan Pollard.
