Just a reminder, but there's no declared war. There's military action, yes. But no war has been declared.
Manning is only a traitor if one enjoys fellating the Military-Industrial Complex.

Please look through http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declaration_of_war_by_the_United_States http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declaration_of_war_by_the_Unite... The war in Afghanistan was formally authorized by Congress in the "Authorization for Use of Military Force" (a resolution which even explicitly mentioned that it satisfies all requirements of the War Powers Act passed in the aftermath of Vietnam). Despite the fact that the writers didn't put "Declaration of War against $FOO" in the title of the resolution, it was certainly a declaration in the Article I, Sec. 8 sense. But please, tell me more about how traitors are only created when Congress dots their I's and crosses their T's in a certain format.
