Bradley Manning acquitted of aiding the enemy
- lifeisstillgood 13y agoAiding the enemy would have been the "show trial" result. Still hundreds of years in jail is still not an encouragement to the next Manning or Anowden
- lifeisstillgood 13y agoIs it just me, or is this something that should be on the HN front page? Yes, politics is not full front and centre HN, but really, this started the whole privacy debate, Snowden almost certainly would not have released his data without Manning, and a US judge just told the US administration that no, it could not call a whistleblower a traitor. It might not be much, but its a start.
