What if history looks back on Bradley Manning as a pivotal person who exposed murderers and suffered as a consequence of exposing evil? Not only did the original killing of unarmed civilians take place, but then when others came to rescue and help them, they were shot and killed too. It was evil.
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." (Edmund Burke)
Burke's saying is still relevant even if the person has heavy artillery, uniform and a flag. Murder is still murder no matter how you dress it up. This was not combat.
As for Assange, he is paying a price for leaking, he is very afraid.
We all want freedom, but you can never achieve freedom when you commit such atrocities and then participate in covering it up.
