\u201cThese aren\u2019t intelligence documents,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s historical data.\u201d<\/p>\n
She went on, “There’s nothing sensitive in there, there’s no troop movements,” she added. “It was a historical record of everything that had happened in Iraq and Afghanistan.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I’m sorry but an Army private first class doesn’t get to make those kinds of distinctions – he wasn’t the arbiter of what is classified and what is not classified. He can’t even decide whether his barracks room is “clean enough”. PFC Manning wasn’t sure if he was a male or female soldier, how can he be expected to decide what is and what isn’t classified correctly.<\/p>\n
Manning was asked by one tearful audience questioner whether her experience had made her “more cynical about fairness.”<\/p>\n
“I do have cynical moments,” she said, tearing up again. “But then I get past them, you know? I turn to my friends, and I turn to my family … and then they cheer me up.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Fairness would be if the government would execute traitors instead of letting them out of prison and running around loose in the world, but they don’t, so me, I’m cynical about fairness, but no one asked.<\/p>\n
