What? How can you put Manning in the same category?

Sure he established the trend and legitimized Wikileaks, but most of what he released was tactically valuable to enemies of the U.S. Arguably Manning did endanger the lives of U.S. service members and for that I will have a hard time forgiving her/him.

People said that about Snowden too, but because there was no evidence of this it's all just wild speculation.

If you don't think that Pakistani and Iranian intelligence did not pass along the lessons learned to insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan then I don't know what else to say other than this:

Pure assumption based on speculation.
