If they knew about this “Collaterall Murder” video he did, why wasn’t his security clearance and access yanked? What was this guys job? Why did he even have access to that stuff in the first place? You need to have the right level clearance and need to know before you are granted physical access.

What am I missing? How does a PFC get access to this kind of stuff? I was a battalion intelligence officer and could barely get my NCOIC to give me the combination to our office door…

I’m completely with you. Unfortunately this Administration probably won’t pursue serious charges until and unless an Afghan informant is murdered *and* the murder can be traced directly to a Wikileaks disclosure, and probably not even then unless there is a huge public outcry. So if and when it happens — and it probably will — we need to make sure that public outcry occurs.

You said it Cassy:

“Know what that means? it means he’s a traitor”

Anyone with a loved one in uniform understands how despicable this is. Adding risk to an already dangerous mission, and for what? He was bored? wanted to get back at somebody?

You put my son and many more in greater danger “Mr.” Manning. Your actions may well extend the bloodshed.
Good thing you are safe behind bars.
