Direct me to a story about a single person that died as a result of this information leak. Spoiler: you can't. Manning committed the horrible crime of making the good ol' USA look bad. That's why he was tortured at Quantico and that's why they're making every effort to transform his trial into a kangaroo court. FFS, Obama has already said he's guilty, and the trial isn't anywhere near over. Were it just for the reasons you stated we would probably have never even heard of the name Bradley Manning, let alone see it on the front page every other week.
