The need for whistle blowers has proven to be valid, and they should be protected.
But this clown is no whistle blower, he's just an attention whore traitor. He exposed material that he had no idea if it was putting the lives of our soldiers, or anyone else, at risk or not. That's because he didn't give two shits about anyone but himself.

Manning did what she thought she had to do. She obviously isn't as bright or organized as Snowden but I don't want my whistleblowers to have to take IQ tests. She did what she thought she needed to, which in the context of Snowden's work appears sloppy and dangerous but there isn't a handbook for this.
