against Manning was because he exposed government secrets to the enemy. As far as the government is concerned, WE THE PEOPLE ARE THE ENEMY!

Tyrannical misuse of the Espionage Act is what keeps people in the country from speaking truth to power.

It happens all the way down on the chain of national events... and it is wrong.

Chris Hedges is one of the last great journalists fighting for recognition of this.
