President Obama commuted Manning's sentence today and he will be released in May. The fucker released 700,000 classified documents to Wikileaks. Way to set an example President Obama.

Give a man a match, & he'll be warm for 20 seconds. But toss that man a white phosphorus grenade and he'll be warm for the rest of his life. -
He did it to troll the nation- because Manning is a man pretending to be a woman. You notice he didn't pardon Snowden. Bathhouse Barry remembers his bathhouse days fondly. -

Democrats have been calling for Julian Assange, the founder of wikileaks to be extradited to the US to face charges.
Yet Democrats are celebrating the fact that Obama has commuted the sentence of Bradley Manning who leaked confidential diplomatic cables and documents to wikileaks and was convicted for violations against the Espionage Act by the army.Comment

Here's a list of the stuff we learned because of Manning.Originally posted by swampbilly View Post

• Yemeni president lied to his own people, claiming his military carried out air strikes on militants actually done by the US. All part of giving US full rein in country against terrorists.
• Details on Vatican hiding big sex abuse cases in Ireland.
• US tried to get Spain to curb its probes of Gitmo torture and rendition.
• Egyptian torturers trained by FBI—although allegedly to teach the human rights issues.
• State Dept. memo: US-backed 2009 coup in Honduras was “illegal and unconstitutional.”
• Cables on Tunisia appear to help spark revolt in that country. The country’s ruling elite described as “The Family,” with Mafia-like skimming throughout the economy. The country’s first lady may have made massive profits off a private school.
• US knew all about massive corruption in Tunisia back in 2006 but went on supporting the government anyway, making it the pillar of its North Africa policy.
• Cables showed the UK promised in 2009 to protect US interests in the official Chilcot inquiry on the start of the Iraq war.
* Oil giant Shell claims to have “inserted staff” and fully infiltrated Nigeria's government.
• US pressured the European Union to accept GM—genetic modification, that is.
• Washington was misled by our own diplomats on Russia-Georgia showdown.
• Extremely important historical document finally released in full: Ambassador April Glaspie’s cable from Iraq in 1990 on meeting with Saddam Hussein before Kuwait invasion.
• The UK sidestepped a ban on housing cluster bombs. Officials concealed from Parliament how the US is allowed to bring weapons on to British soil in defiance of treaty.
• The New York Times: “From hundreds of diplomatic cables, Afghanistan emerges as a looking-glass land where bribery, extortion and embezzlement are the norm and the honest man is a distinct outlier.”
• Afghan vice president left country with $52 million “in cash.”
• Shocking levels of US spying at the United Nations (beyond what was commonly assumed) and intense use of diplomats abroad in intelligence-gathering roles.
• Potential environmental disaster kept secret by the US when a large consignment of highly enriched uranium in Libya came close to cracking open and leaking radioactive material into the atmosphere.
• US used threats, spying, and more to try to get its way at last year’s crucial climate conference in Copenhagen.
* American and British diplomats fear Pakistan's nuclear weapons program — with poor security — could lead to fissile material falling into the hands of terrorists or a devastating nuclear exchange with India.
• Hundreds of cables detail US use of diplomats as “sales” agents, more than previously thought, centering on jet rivalry of Boeing vs. Airbus. Hints of corruption and bribes.
• Millions in US military aid for fighting Pakistani insurgents went to other gov’t uses (or stolen) instead.
• Israel wanted to bring Gaza to the ”brink of collapse.”
• The US secret services used Turkey as a base to transport terrorism suspects as part of its extraordinary rendition program.
• As protests spread in Egypt, cables revealed that strong man Suleiman was at center of government’s torture programs, causing severe backlash for Mubarak after he named Suleiman vice president during the revolt. Other cables revealed or confirmed widespread Mubarak regime corruption, police abuses and torture, and claims of massive Mubarak famiiy fortune, significantly influencing media coverage and US response.

Name, I won't bother checking out each of your claims because I'm just not that interested. Maybe you could include a link or two when making so many, or not.
I will note first that many of the events you listed occurred while Obama was POTUS yet neither he or Dems seem to care. If a Rep had been in the White House we would still hear the wailing and gnashing of teeth. Oh the hypocrisy!
Regarding spying, everybody does it. If you have secrets you had better secure them. Doesn't make it legal or moral but since when does anybody care? I only have a problem with spying on Americans on American soil. Fuck the rest of the world. If you go overseas you need to either leave your secrets behind or encrypt them, or both.
Regarding the torture and rendition claims, I know a US soldier who told me that their position kept getting mortared for months very accurately until they figured out that the guy on the inside who was giving accurate layouts of the facility to the enemy was an Iraqi working on the base. My friend described watching the Iraqis waterboarding the fuck out of this guy and that is was very effective. He gave up his accomplices and a lot of intel was found in their houses.
My friend and his men went out and killed the hell out of some greasy terrorists and the mortars stopped. Then they came home safely to their families, most of them at least.Comment

Do you trust the government? I don't, so when someone takes it upon themselves to inform the public about clandestine activities we should all be thankful.Originally posted by Woods Devil View Post-ChipComment
