This is a great article explaining why the state needs to be held accountable for their actions, yet I still feel Manning deserved jail time. He didn't deserve 35 years, nor did he deserve the torture leading up to his trial, but he recklessly handed over thousands of classified documents to journalists that he didn't read.
