    He isn't asking for your opinions, he's asking for what Manning leaked and what he was on trial for. Come on, people.

    He leaked videos, docs, and logs that were at the time classified, and included reports of cover-ups of civilian deaths (including some US journalists), information about the prisoners and practices at Gitmo, and, perhaps most damaging to the US government, an incredibly large number of US Embassy cables that were never intended to reach the allies about whom they were written.

    He embarrassed the generals who covered up the deaths of civilians and who lied to the very people who want to punish Manning further. What will happen to the pilots who killed the Reuters man and the civilians, talking all the time as though they were playing a video game? If the Bradley haters on here think that is freedom, they have a twisted logic.

    On MSN news, they claimed he had leaked 700,000 documents! That is an amazing number. They also claimed that some of the film footage he leaked was used in an al quaeda propaganda film, and that copies of some of the documents were found in Osamas possession when he was killed.

    Bradley Manning leaked war crimes and as a result was prosecuted by the federal government? Sad, isn't it?

    It doesnt' matter what they were, if they were marked classified he broke his word to the military to protect and serve.

    He should have gotten the full 60.
