> If a soldier thinks something is wrong, he might talk to a reporter and even provide classified examples if necessary to prove his point. > That is not what Bradley Manning did. Did you even read the article linked? " Manning said he first tried to take his information to the Washington Post, the New York Times and Politico, before contacting WikiLeaks." "Manning said he tried to talk to an unnamed Washington Post reporter to interest her in the Iraq and Afghanistan documents, but “I did not believe she took me seriously.” He left voicemails with the public editor and the news-tips lines for the New York Times and heard nothing.

According to Manning’s account, only after his attempts to give the documents to mainstream media organizations fail did he consider giving them to WikiLeaks."
