"This Is The Face Of Grief..."

U.S. Army Private First Class, Bradley Manning

"He was not afraid to face the unknown, not afraid to resist the seduction of conformity, not afraid to follow his conscience, and not afraid, most important for us today ... to give us the wherewithal so that we can have enough information to follow our own consciences."

- Ray McGovern, Former CIA Analyst

I, myself haven't decided what my opinions of this young man's actions are... I suspect he may be a hero if indeed what he did was to expose war crimes committed by the United States, whether intentional or not. It is indeed "hard to shake hands with liberty" when they are covered with innocent blood...
