Sorry but the Manning outrage doesn't register

Just three reasons:

The Bush administration:

1)Did nothing despite several urgent warnings of a terrorist attack in mid '01.

2)Made the case to invade and occupy Iraq based on fixed intelligence and a privatization agenda.

3)Implemented warrantless surveillance and torture programs.

Selective outrage is not convincing.

What he had or saw would have been covered up, and he would have been put in Leavenworth for some siily ass reason.

Effective? For who? Meh!
