Pentagon Scrambles to Assess Wikileaks Damage

Manning though low ranking worked in the Inteligence field. To charge him with a minor offense is not in the best interest of security. He and any others caught leaking confidential information should be charged with treason. He not only gave away confidential information but was paid while he did it. That in itself though not going to another govt is spying. He should be tried by the Military under the UCMJ and sentence should be harsh possibly even execution for such an act. It is evident he was not concerned about his brothers in arms.

This and all leaks should be stoped and no matter who is found to leak information should be tried if civilians IE congressman/administration officials who leak items to further thier causes or to justify an action or inaction should be tried and at a thier clearances pulled and removed from govt service.
