did manning blow the whistle on somethig unco stitutional? Yes, i believe so. Manning wanted to show that the government lied to the world about the extent of civilian causulties. that's why he released so much. also there was systematic cover up where initial reports from field were being "Toned down" later. did he blindly release stuff? no, he trusted that wikileaks would research and investigate as to not releaase anything that could harm people. wikileaks has a flawless record doing that. i'm pretty terrified to read the other comments in this thread. my arguments, even if invalid or wrong should have been brought up by someone. seems like you all have been affected by media brainwashing.. scary and sad. i thought people on hn was of higher caliber...
