Bradley Manning was found not-guilty of aiding the enemy, but guilty of just about every other charge against him. This could mean, if given a maximum sentence, 130 years (also know as "life" by any other standard human metric) in prison.

All of this because he exposed wrongdoing by the US military.

The law, in the case of the military actions, is not subjective. The US cannot escape culpability simply by deeming the incident "classified" or "off-the-record" or by labeling those innocents killed as "terrorists."

This is a poor, poor precedent.
