I am NOT an expert on the USMJ (or even passingly familiar with it), but I wouldn't a treason charge would come from a civilian court, as it is defined constitutionally? Now, that is not to say there is not a capital crime in the USMJ that he might have committed in passing classified information to a non-state entity. I don't know.
For one thing, the complete lack of any mention of Area 51 or the JFK assassination shows that the US Military Industrial complex is even more secretive than we thought!</sarcasm>
A token amount, just for appearances. The simple fact is that WikiLeaks no longer needs Pfc Manning, and the handwriting is pretty much on the wall for him, anyway. The best he can expect is a dishonorable discharge and a short stay at USDB in Leavenworth. Giving him any more would be a waste of resources they may need to defend Assange in Sweden.
Because child molesters and rapists with amazingly high recidivism rates don't deserve the stigma at all. I'm sure you'd be comfortable hiring one to be a babysitter if that's your view.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Bush has a Republican majority for 6 years, and this never came up. Just like how, even in the abysmal Patriot Act, we didn't have forced strip searches at every airport checkpoint (which is pretty much what you have now). And you're still trying cover up for Obama's malfeasance by equating him to Bush? Weak. Own up and admit that you voted for a statist, knew you were voting for a statist, and you got exactly what you voted for.
Also, today's brilliant jerk is tomorrow's has-been grognard. Five years ago they were hot shit in C and they let everyone know. Today we're a C# shop and they're useless because they were too good to keep up.
They don't have to invent their own medicine from scratch. The technology, once created, is easy to export. If one country finds a breakthrough in the field of medicine, agriculture, or communications, the world at large is enriched by it.
And what happens when none of these fever dreams comes to pass? Will you retract? Or will you find some way to work the absence of evidence into your conspiracy theory?
Slashdot is becoming one of those late-night UFO radio shows.
Ok, ok. I'll bite. Where are these Amnesty International and Red Cross statistics that say there have been no Israeli civilian deaths due to Palestinian terrorism in the last 20 years? And am I allowed to hand-wave them away, too, if you actually supply a link?
Or, more likely, you never understood the purpose of moderation to begin with. Here's a hint: "+5, Interesting" != "+5, 100% Majority Opinion".
Moderation is about rewarding discourse contributions, not alignment with group-think. If you have never modded a post you disagreed with as "Insightful" or "Interesting", then you are a part of the problem with modern civil discourse. Seek more intellectual curiosity, post-haste.

It was certainly more of an FF game than XIII was.
There are civilian lawyers who specialize in UCMJ cases. And, as usual, you will get what you pay for.
A.3.C is probably nailing it on the head.

It's okay. I had enough coasters saved up in the 90's to last me till Doomsday.
I can't argue with that, because I agree.

The loveliest thing about blaming the black helicopters and CIA mind rays is that the theory can never be falsified.

I'm sorry, but if the last 200 years have taught me anything, it's that Europe knows less about well-governance than it preaches.
Uhh, yes, they do.
Yes,and I totally balanced my check book by moving all my debt from one credit card to another.
Whether it "saved" the economy is something we will not be able to determine until we've paid for it.

I prefer the Shakespearean method to fixing our health industry: kill all the lawyers.
Yeah, the ELF is more like the Care Bear Squad... :\
Everyone has crazies they are too ashamed to admit adhere to their own philosophies.

I'm sorry your remote control lacks a Mute button. The "invisible hand" must have passed your house when they were handing them out.

Do well-informed people make up bullshit statistics?

IOW, RTFRFC.
