Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI), a member of the House Intelligence Committee, told WHMI, a Michigan radio station, that Pfc. Bradley Manning should be executed if he did, in fact, leak classified documents and video to WikiLeaks.

Interesting article about three myths surrounding WikiLeaks: http://www.middle-east-online.com/english/?id=40476
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

Bradley Manning found not guilty of aiding the enemy, but:
1:25 PM EST Bradley Manning is found guilty of enough charges to potentially be put in prison for over 100 years.

Given the law, I think that was probably the best or one of the better possible outcomes.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.
