Last night, a lot of people thought Ace had lost his mind<\/a> when he wrote that Wikileaker and DADT advocate<\/a> Bradley Manning should be hanged;<\/p>\n

Kill him. Make it a cause celebre, and make him an example to the next leaker.<\/p>\n

String him up and choke him until he is dead, dead, dead.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This morning a Michigan Republican Congressman<\/a> is advocating for his execution, too;<\/p>\n

“I argue the death penalty clearly should be considered here,” [Republican Rep. Mike Rogers] said. “He clearly aided the enemy to what may result in the death of U.S. soldiers . . . If that is not a capital offense, I don’t know what is.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now, I really don’t believe in the death penalty, not for the reasons you might think. In my opinion, I don’t trust the government to take anyone’s life. I mean, would you put your life in the hands of Charlie Rangel or Maxine Waters? Anyway, I’m opposed to Manning’s execution regardless of how his trial turns out.<\/p>\n

But you see while I’m lifting my chin and feeling morally superior to the rest of you, I come across nimroddery like this<\/a> from Michael “are you going to finish those fries” Moore;<\/p>\n

Moore thought that Manning “is exactly who we want in our armed forces,” and deserves the Profile in Courage award for helping to make the WikiLeaks public knowledge. “You can’t just line up and be a good German and do what you’re told to do,” Moore said in defense of Manning’s audacity.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

At that point, I realize that the only way to make sure Manning serves out his sentence without some pompous and arrogant windbag like Moore advocating for his undeserved early release from his 90,000 life sentences is to kill Manning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
