The other poster's words contribute to putting a hero in jail for treason. Mine might not be productive because they're accusatory. I'll take that chance considering the stakes. How counter-productive would you feel this was if it was your family unlawfully detained? And, if you'll note, their words are personal. They attack and denigrate Manning specifically and by name, despite evidence. I only refer to them in the abstract because I'm referring to anyone who feels or says what they do. This is important - their words follow Manning forever, mine are only here in this thread, only attached to their hate speech. If they walk away from the lies, they walk away from my judgements. We shouldn't pretend that willful ignorance is a justifiable opinion that deserves respect - lies are lies, and these ones specifically are calculated to put an innocent in prison.
