> He will probably rot in jail This is where we, the people, must step in to make sure it doesn't happen.

  And how you plan to achieve that? Short of overthrowing US government, I don't see how it is possible to not have Manning, who violated a ton of US laws and already pled guilty for some of those violations, not going to jail. The law is not American Idol, so ending a lot of SMSes to some paid number is not going to work. Neither liking some page on Facebook would. Any other ideas?

    Hey everyone, try not to let emotions take over. Downvotes shouldn't be used for disagreement, that's what `reply' is for. For what it's worth, I agree with you. I think Manning did something truly worthwhile, and he DID break laws in doing so. Unfortunately, he will pay the price for that. I feel conflicted by it.

    The law is not American Idol - the rich and well connected don't win that contest so easily.

      They win because you enable them by your votes. Each politician elected today had people voting for them. Each of this people decided to vote for this politician in his own free will. However rich you are, you still have to have people voting for you. So these "well connected" people are there because of the voters that put them there.
