PFC. Bradley Manning an unlikely hero - NY Times
Actually he's a fucked up weirdo who never should have been allowed to enlist in the Army at all much less be a Top Secret level intel analyst. What a creep. And a shallow, egotistical creep as well. Manning never saw how he was being played for a dupe by Wikileaks. Julian Assange is getting all the media headlines and glory and Private Manning is gonna get a few decades in Leavenworth. Good move, Brad!

And the G-20? Better have your riot police primed and ready and alert your hospitals and jails to prepare for an extra duty.
