Bradley Manning Pleads Guilty To 10 Charges

Entropy98 sends this quote from the LA Times: "Army Pfc. Bradley Edward Manning pleaded guilty Thursday to 10 charges that he illegally acquired and transferred highly classified U.S. government secrets, agreeing to serve [up to] 20 years in prison for causing a worldwide uproar when WikiLeaks published documents describing the inner workings of U.S. military and diplomatic efforts in Iraq, Afghanistan and around the globe. The 25-year-old soldier, however, pleaded not guilty to 12 more serious charges, including espionage for aiding the enemy, meaning that his criminal case will go forward at a general court-martial in June. If convicted at trial, he risks a sentence of life in prison at Ft. Leavenworth, Kan."

See? Torture does get results! So many people here keep saying torture never produces anything, this clearly proves you wrong! Torture does work to generate confessions!

It may not be what being a whistleblower is about but it is a side effect of what being a whistleblower is about. Is he responsible for the crimes of the Bush administration? NO but he will be the token lamb at the slaughter.
