Legal defense, might be.  We'll see what happens when he goes to trial.
(And color me unimpressed by any organization that keeps an unconvicted
nonviolent defendant in solitary for seven months without a trial.)

But in as much as some of the corruption came directly from his superiors
and when he reported it he was told to ignore it and get back to work and
the corruption seems to have gone all the way up to the top, I think his
moral defense is on much firmer ground.  Who should he have reported it to
that wasn't already involved and invested in the cover-up?

To me Manning is a hero, and I think he'll be honored thus by the history
books.

I'm curious, what do you think about Daniel Ellsberg?
