"Of all the charges against Bradley Manning, the most pernicious - TopicsExpress



          

"Of all the charges against Bradley Manning, the most pernicious -- and revealing -- is “aiding the enemy.” A blogger at The New Yorker, Amy Davidson, raised a pair of big questions that now loom over the courtroom at Fort Meade and over the entire country: * “Would it aid the enemy, for example, to expose war crimes committed by American forces or lies told by the American government?” * “In that case, who is aiding the enemy -- the whistleblower or the perpetrators themselves?” When the deceptive operation of the warfare state can’t stand the light of day, truth-tellers are a constant hazard. And culpability must stay turned on its head."
