Bradley Manning Sentenced To 35 Years
An anonymous reader writes with bad, but not unexpected news: "The U.S. soldier convicted of handing a trove of secret government documents to anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks has been sentenced to 35 years in prison. Pte First Class Bradley Manning, 25, was convicted in July of 20 charges against him, including espionage. Last week, he apologized for hurting the U.S. and for 'the unexpected results' of his actions. He will receive credit for three and a half years, but be dishonorably discharged from the U.S. Army."
I agree. And I'm glad many Bothans died to get the plans for the Death Star into the hands of the rebels. Those traitors to the Empire deserve it!
Tic-Tac-Toe, Global Thermonuclear War, and relationships all have the same winning move.
If it's a legitimate secret, the government body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down!?
