To wit: Bradley Manning: Criminal or Whistleblower? http://motherjones.com/politics/2012/01/bradley-manning-criminal-whistleblower-wikileaks … via @motherjones
@tadmaster And did he make known, one way or another, anything like the same type of documents? Was he considered a whistleblower?

@emlynaddison - quite the opposite http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allen_West_(politician)#section_2 …

@tadmaster Well then htf does it apply to Manning's case? You spoke of a legal process for whistleblowing on classified documents. -
@emlynaddison you don't "blow the whistle" on documents; you blow a whistle on misdeeds. It doesn't appear that you understand the situation
-
@tadmaster It doesn't appear that you understand my question. Did Manning not "blow the whistle" on state via docs? West eg seems irrelevant -
@emlynaddison - No; Manning broke the law, then tried to claim virtue. West is evidence of the system working as it should - without leaks.
End of conversation

@emlynaddison - West's actions were illegal, and he was investigated & punished. (Too lightly, IMHO)
