Well, this story is getting pretty scary. I feel like the UK military needs to do something really quickly before it gets out of control.
I don't even know whether Manning and Assange did anything technically illegal, but I think that what they have done is an act of treason and espionage against the U.S. government that must be swiftly and effectively remedied, if only as a deterrent. We must execute these people.
There are lots of ways to do it. The Bush Administration used to send people to Syria and Egypt to be tortured. Our Democratic President has obtained a legal opinion that allows him to single-handedly order the execution of these people, even by missile drone.
If we don't stop what Manning and Assange are up to, our whole system will fall apart. THEY CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO DO THIS!!!1
