With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

Who exactly has been killed because of the leak? At risk of getting ahead of myself, this claim seems as mythological as the claim he exposed systematic wrongdoing by the US.DISCLAIMER: the author of the above written texts does not warrant or assume any legal liability or responsibility for any offence and insult; disrespect, arrogance and related forms of demeaning behaviour; discrimination based on race, gender, age, income class, body mass, living area, political voting-record, football fan-ship and musical preference; insensitivity towards material, emotional or spiritual distress; and attempted emotional or financial black-mailing, skirt-chasing or death-threats perceived by the reader of the said written texts.

Thoughts on Manning...
If he believed in his actions then he should stand by them and hang by them.
I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country - Nathan Hale.
Even if the U.S. is guilty of wrong doing, Manning was a soldier and part of his actual duty involves keeping his ****ing mouth shut. If it were up to every individual to decide what should be told and should not be told then we would have anarchy and the U.S. would surely fall.
Still, I go back to the point that Manning should stand by his actions, not show any remorse if he truly feels that it was patriotic or somehow his duty to leak documents.What can make a nigga wanna fight a whole night club/Figure that he ought to maybe be a pimp simply 'cause he don't like love/What can make a nigga wanna achy, break all rules/In a book when it took a lot to get you hooked up to this volume/
What can make a nigga wanna loose all faith in/Anything that he can't feel through his chest wit sensation

The incident of mass killings carried out by Iraqi government forces who then called in US airstrikes to destroy the evidence of their mass killings. This war crime was exposed by Bradley Manning's releases to wikileaks. Oh, hell, ****ing, yeah! This is a classic whistle blower case and they sentenced him to far, far, far longer than most actual spies get because his whistle blowing embarrassed them when they were caught lying. The man should be a hero not a prisoner.
It's just like a former supreme court justice said that when you make everything secret then nothing is secret. The government is classifying information not because there is any actual national security need but because it embarrasses individual politicians engaged in criminal acts.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.

Then, of course, we have this incident where US helicopter gunships assassinated journalists and broke not only international law but the US's own rules of engagement.
