He'll probably be paroled in ten years or so, which would be an appropriate punishment. At the end of the day, things like this need to be illegal, or else the country can't really function at all.

if you feel invested in the power system, that leeches off us all, feel invested in its fuctioning, that is. Tolstoy said, in The Law of Love/Law of Violence, if you all want to put all these young males into militaries, and arm them, and have them kill people, and treat the wounded, and all of it, go do it yourself, don't drag me into it. that's how I feel -- that's why I say, there is no national interest. when the US murders Pakistani and Yemeni kids that doesn't represent me, that's not in my interest, that's not my country. nothing about the US foreign policy occurs with my consent beyond my implicit consent of paying taxes, (which I don't because I earn almost no money), and so it goes. I'm not invested in the whole game. nobody who is acting on my behalf was exposed by Bradley Manning. so God Bless him. if Lief feels otherwise, that's his deal, his responsibility to justify it.
