Honestly, I'm sympathetic.
Speaking as an American who hated Bush; who resents Obama for selling out; who thinks our corrupt war mongering government DESERVES every whistle-blower they get, well, I'm glad there are people like Manning and Assange who call BULLSHIT on what is being done in my name as American when I don't approve of it.
So, more power to them.
BUT, from what I've read, Manning sounds like he could be a difficult person. Not exactly an angel from heaven, perhaps, but these things needed to be exposed and he's risking everything (perhaps even a death penalty?) for it.
