Thanks for a good explanation, that was mostly poor wording on my part. I did not mean in any way to imply "no foul, no harm". I agree with you on all this. My personal view of Manning is that it is correct to charge him but that the treatment of him by the US authorities has been horrible. As for if he is a traitor or not: since I do not think there is an ongoing war involving the US in the middle east I cannot really count it as treason. Still criminal of course.
