Stop-Wasting-Time Persecuting Manning and Wikileaks, Ms. Clinton, Get to Work on PULL-OUTS and Listen to D. Ellsberg

Manning "had access to the Secret internet Protocol Router Network used by US military personnel, civilian employees and private contractors. Investigators are unsure if he had help from inside or outside the military."

PROCEDURE and DEFENSE OF MANNING in the USA

According to officials and others-in-the-know, "Manning had said he "used blank CDs to download classified information while pretending to be listening to Lady Gaga."
He got in touch with well-known U.S. computer hacker Adrian Lamo, hoping the latter would assist him in publishing the secret files that he saw. He told Lomo that had found "incredible, awful things that belonged in the public domain and not on some server stored in a dark room in Washington, DC'. However, Lomo tipped him off to the U.S. authorities and surrendered their online exchanges to investigators."

According to the International Business Times, "In July [2010], WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said his organization has "committed funds" to legally defend Manning, though he refused to say whether Manning was the source of the leaked documents. Assange said WikiLeaks would offer his military-appointed legal team money if it wanted to go for civilian counsel. His family in the UK thinks he did the right thing. Among others, U.S. linguist and intellectual Noam Chomsky has joined the campaign to support Manning. According to a post in http://www.bradleymanning.org, Chomsky wrote: "It is a privilege to join the campaign to support Bradley Manning for his courage and integrity in serving his country by helping make the government accountable to its citizens, and to inform the world of what its people should know.'"

Chomsky was one of the people that kept and then helped release the so-called Pentagon Papers collected and copied by Daniel Ellsberg back in the 1960s.   I would say that the fact that Chomsky and Ellsberg's support for Manning is proof enough for this American patriot that Manning's decision to release the documents over the past half decade is a righteous one.

DOING WHAT IS RIGHT FOR AMERICA TODAY

Manning's profound decision to oppose the lack of commitment to truth & justice and to oppose the missing commitment to AMERICAN DEMOCRACY in the middle and upper levels of the USA government (and in America's foreign practices) is an important step in America today--where middle level and higher level officials have not had the honor of many of their Vietnam counterparts to finally once-and-for-all stop the VIETNAM PARTS 2 AND 3 (i.e. Afghanistan and Iraq) by leaking the truth to the masses and media.
