What i learnt from Bradley Manning case...

Been following up on this headline case of this soldier, and i just find it interesting,,,
Manning was quoted,,
"When I chose to disclose classified information... I did so out of love for our country and a sense of duty for others. If you deny my request for a pardon I will serve my time knowing that sometimes you have to pay a heavy price to live in a free society.

Well wont write more and deeply but just loved this quote from him not in the perspective of his case but it got me into thinking, when we give out classified information about something do we do it out of love for others or do we do it for our benefit?/or do we do it to damage others??
think about it.

So who is this guy and what has he done..
Bradley Manning(25) is a US soldier who got convicted of handing a trove of secret government documents to anti-secrecy website Wikileaks and has been sentenced to 35 years in prison. 
The US soldier jailed for leaking thousands of classified documents to Wikileaks of which this leaked information has caused significant embarrassment to the US government, and its officials have said the disclosures damaged America's relations with its allies and disrupted the war effort in Afghanistan

heheh...for more info about this story please visit http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-23784288....

As much as we love giving info to others think well...
Think of the outcomes of that "classified data"
