[quote]A military court has found Pfc. Bradley Manning, accused of the largest leak of classified information in U.S. history, not guilty of aiding the enemy -- a charge that would have carried a maximum sentence of life in prison. He was found guilty of most of the remaining charges against him, with the judge accepting some of the guilty pleas he made previously to lesser charges.
Manning still faces the prospect of years, if not decades, behind bars. He was found guilty on 20 counts. The sentencing phase of the court-martial begins Wednesday, and Manning faces up to a maximum 136 years in prison.[/quote]

There is so much that happens that we never know about. Our government does things that are not righteous, excusable, or diplomatically viable. But so does every other institution on earth. If you're an American, rejoice that your government does what is necessary. It's all dirty pool. All people are the same. We all hate outsiders and love our own kind. It's what unites humanity in the most retarded way.
