Perhaps you need to refresh your memory. Robert Novak got his information from Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage, who himself knew the information from a State Department memo which did not mention that she held covert status.I seem to remember that when Bush and Cheny outed a CIA agent for political reasons
Then you should be pleased he was convicted. After all, the conviction (and resulting sentence) is what provides the "great personal sacrifices" without which Manning would not be a hero. ...Hero: Someone who performs notable acts at great personal sacrifices for the benefit of others.
So then two wrongs would make a right?I seem to remember that when Bush and Cheny outed a CIA agent for political reasons they weren't punished
Your viewpoint is consistently anti-American. Often thoughtlessly so.What is even remotely anti American about my viewpoint?
Preposterous. My position is very pro American. I believe strongly in the core ideals in which the nation was founded and so I value heroes like Manning who holdb the government to account when it turns away from those values.Your viewpoint is consistently anti-American. Often thoughtlessly so.
They were in charge at the time, not hard to figure out.I seem to remember that when Bush and Cheny outed a CIA agent for political reasons they weren't punished
there should be consistency -- bush and cheny put a person in danger. Manley did not.So then two wrongs would make a right?
Every proud British subject knows that Benedict Arnold was a great hero and loyal servant to his King! The treasonous Americans who revolted against His Majesty have been most unkind to this great man.Bradley "Benedict Arnold" Manning. At least Arnold lost one of his legs in battle while serving his country before he turned.
Right. So you are not saying that Manning should get a walk, rather that Bush and Cheny, if the evidence supports, should be punished.there should be consistency -- bush and cheny put a person in danger. Manley did not.

You should actually read some history. He was a loyal American until he was passed over for promotion and accused of corruption (granted the corruption charge was stupid since he was using his own money to support the cause).Every proud British subject knows that Benedict Arnold was a great hero and loyal servant to his King!

That is just an American smear of this great man's name!You should actually read some history. He was a loyal American until he was passed over for promotion and accused of corruption (granted the corruption charge was stupid since he was using his own money to support the cause).
Ahh, the grog theory that any facts you don't like are lies.That is just an American smear of this great man's name!
Is this simplistic, or is this simplistic!Every proud British subject knows that Benedict Arnold was a great hero and loyal servant to his King! The treasonous Americans who revolted against His Majesty have been most unkind to this great man.
True.He was a loyal American until he was passed over for promotion and accused of corruption (granted the corruption charge was stupid since he was using his own money to support the cause).
The British don't see it that way.Ahh, the grog theory that any facts you don't like are lies.
Actually British written histories don't treat Arnold that well.The British don't see it that way.
Sure. He made a mistake early on by siding with the traitors but his conscience got the better of him and he returned to loyal service.Actually British written histories don't treat Arnold that well.
He was quite unpopular in New Brunswick after the war before he removed to Great Britain.Sure. He made a mistake early on by siding with the traitors but his conscience got the better of him and he returned to loyal service.
