My question is, if somebody obtained information about China like that, would you want them to publish it or give it back to China?

Now now don't forget your constitution here, he is inocent until proven guilty.

Published? Never. Then they could combat it and why on earth would you want to give the Chinese a definitive target? You do understand secrets are manufactured that way for a reason?

My point was that you have no ill will (zero, zip, nada) towards a disgustingly perverted animal who wants to not only diplomatically decapitate the US, as well as place our soldiers lives in danger; but in fact, bring anarchy about for the entire world.

None at all, in so much as you stated this very clearly.
And I dare say that most folks who read this forum wouldn't be suited to handle anarchy for any length of time.

anarchy is quite possible the best for of government ever thought of, problem is that humans would be in charge and we can't be trusted to do anything right.

Manning will no doubt be dealt with harshly under the UCMJ - And I support this fully. The little twirp joins the Army, then can't mentally hack it, so he decides to screw the entire country? Oh heck no...

And I don't buy the 'It's because of don't ask don't tell' BS for a second. That's a cop out. Gay straight or purple - Manning is a bitch and a traitor.

And further more; Why in the world does the Army allow CD's to be burned on computers connected to the secure network (SIPRnet)? SOP dictates not only CD writers be disabled, but USB ports be flagged and immediatly shut down if a removable media device is plugged it. These simple meaures (which should have been in place) would have prevented this mess; or atleast made it more difficult.

Good grief.
