Show me the evidence that this was ever done...and I don't mean hysterical ranting about it, I mean the actual concrete evidence.I think you could make a case for whistleblowing if he actually exposed any criminal activity...like proof of torture or war crimes. He didn't. I would be surprised, and in fact disappointed, to find that our government did not keep tabs on other governments, friendly or not. I'd also be surprised if other governments didn't keep tabs on ours.Absolutely. Civil disobedience is important to keep an out of control government in check, and Manning exposed criminal activities that our State Dept. has been involved in. He should be praised, and Hillary and Condoleezza should be in prison.
There is nothing in what was released that anyone needs to know...except that the State Department is doing what it is supposed to do.
Stealing credit card information, banking information, physical DNA, etc... is a crime.
This sounds more and more like the stupid hysteria over climate science when things were leaked and taken out of context.
