Manning verdict sends message to leakers: #tellusatoday

We asked our followers on Twitter what they thought about Bradley Manning being acquitted of aiding the enemy and found guilty of other counts. Comments are edited for clarity and grammar:

Great news with Manning being found not guilty of most serious charge. Unfortunately, he will still go to prison for many years!

— @JTosca

The military allows disclosure of certain intelligence to political leaders and the FBI, but to release it to other nations is unsavory.

— @Champagnecola

The Manning verdict looks petty. Can an Army private really topple power in Washington?

— @sggrimes13

Sorry, but Manning is a traitor. You leak classified U.S. intelligence information to the world, and you are a traitor! Throw away the key!

— @_TheHardWay

America has to set a precedent with Manning or else people will start thinking leaking classified information makes them a hero.
