I see that Bradley Manning was convicted by a military court on the charge of espionage.  Espionage originally was defined as any attempt to interfere with military operations, to support U.S. enemies during wartime, to promote insubordination in the military, or to interfere with military recruitment.

In my view, Bradley Manning did just the opposite of espionage.  It is the President and other officials in the US Government that not only have supported the enemies of the U.S. but have themselves become the enemies of the U.S. by trampling on the U.S. Constitution and the People who are the sovereigns of this nation.  What Bradley Manning did was what was required of him and of all of us under the circumstances... which is to say, to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against all its enemies foreign and domestic.  This court proceeding was just one more affront to the Constitution and the sovereign People who have pledged to live by and for it.
