The problem that I have with this is that the "crime" committed by Bradley Manning is treated as if he has done a bigger wrong than the people in the helicopter and the people who gave the okay to shoot. This is proof that when you are in the USA and you show that a crime has taken place by people who are paid by the taxpayer, there is a very big change that you will go to jail. Why? I think that the one and only reason is: The USA Government and the USA Army do this when they are caught with their trousers down because in their eyes they can not do anything wrong. It appears that they are above the law and (excuse me the expression) bigger than God.
Let's see how long it will take (if that ever will happen) before justice takes it's right course. Unfortunately nowadays justice is a matter of who is the best at interpreting and applying the rules and regulations of the law. By law, Manning was not allowed to show this video to the world but I wonder if he would not have done so, how would we have known that this crime had happened? And that is why Bradley Manning is in prison. Development of his case shall be linked up here as often as I can.
