How do nations get "information" about other nations and leaders if information was not "leaked " to the secret agencies that are designed to not only recieve such info but to spread disinformation while at it.
There are a lot of "wrongs" taking place daily.....but again, it all depends on who is doing them

As the trial of Bradley Manning begins, the focus is on the boring and utterly irrelevant detail of his sexual “orientation”: the defense is, understandably, trying to get the charges dismissed by playing up this aspect of the case. His lawyers are making the argument that his disorientation as a gay (or transgender) man in a notoriously anti-gay institution was – somehow – responsible for his actions, and that his superiors should have taken note of this and denied him access to sensitive material.
Which is all well and good, but if you look at the government’s charges [.pdf] – well, that’s the interesting part of this case. Because the big charge, which carries with it a sentence of life imprisonment, is “aiding the enemy,” which begs the question: who is the enemy?

I'd rather seen him stood up against a wall and shot, but that was not an option.

20 years for airing his country's dirty laundry... a little steep I think. But bullies don't like being exposed. Bullies only deserve a kick in the balls.
Sweeeeeet! 20 Years Bradley...lmao. Twenty years in the can. Awesome.
Great news Colpy... Thanks!

Hey Colpy... he still goes to trial in June for charges that he pleaded not guilty to. If found guilty that could put him away for good. Nice.
