rb, here is my issue. I'm pissed all around. I'm pissed that, from what it appears, I was lied to by the government about the progress of the war. I'm pissed that someone who swore to uphold our country's laws chose to violate them because he thought he knew better. I'm pissed that someone decided on his own, without expertise that could have informed his decision, to endanger people who are fighting for this country and those who assist them in doing that.
Ther'es more than enough piss-off to go around.
But still - if the soldier thought the info needed to be released even though he knew it was illegal for him to do that, then he can do what he thinks is right , and pay the legal price for it. That' s what civil disobedience is, and it has a long and respectable history. But I'm not going to cry any tears about his jail time.
