I think he waived his fairy wand..

"He was by all accounts unhappy and isolated. Because of the army's "Don't ask, don't tell" policy (known as DADT, which was repealed in September 2011), he was not allowed to be openly gay, though he apparently made no secret of it; his friends said he kept a fairy wand on his desk."

I still have no idea what was in these diplomatic cables that he leaked to Assange. Without knowing the contents, I can't weigh in really.
Love that guy in China tho, that gave proof of what we've all been saying for years re: the NSA.
lets see , the guy joined the united states military voluntarily and then voluntarily leaked u.s. military info . sorry but thats a clear cut case of traitor not whistle blower . would call him a spy but he did not sell the info to anyone . as i see it he just did it to undermine the u.s government and put our military in harms way . weather he understood the gravity of what he did or not ,he still did it ! imo if even one u.s. citizen was killed because of the info then it should be a quick trip to the gallows for manning .
Did anyone actually see the video of the Apache pilots killing the Reuters reporters that Manning leaked? Seems like some important government insight was needed...
Is the guy who leaked the info about PRISM a traitor? What about the ATF agent who leaked the info about Fast and Furious? What about the IRS agent who leaked the info about the Tea Party refusal scandals?
The way I see it, Manning's intent was to harm the US (info included names of people translating for us, etc, things that could be used by, say, the Taliban). The others you mentioned were exposing internal issues (I don't think knowing that the IRS targeted the Tea Party really helps the Taliban in any way).
That said, I'm conflicted about this guy going to Hong Kong. On the one hand, he has helped expose a huge issue, but on the other, he DID do it in a bad way. So the jury's still out on that one.
its not like the guy leaked about 1 particular injustice . he put almost 1,000,000 documents out there without inspection . is that a leak or just someone trying to f*ck things up ?
There is a HUGE difference between a leak and a whistle blower. You purposely put out classified information that puts our country or citizens into more danger, you are a traitor. It does not matter if the information "leaked" was to stop the US government from doing something you thought was wrong or illegal. There are ways of getting information released, reviewed, analyzed without making it public information.
