The punishment for Pfc. Manning, who downloaded some 700,000 classified military and diplomatic documents that he sent to WikiLeaks, came as a shock to his attorneys and antisecrecy advocates, who said it would have a chilling effect on whistleblowers looking to expose government wrongdoing.
对曼宁的量刑令他的律师和主张反保密的人士大为震惊。他们说,这样的惩罚将会对想要揭露政府不当行为的揭密者造成寒蝉效应。曼宁下载了约70万份机密的军事和外交文件并交给了维基解密。
'The Manning prosecution has vividly demonstrated that, under our current legal system, there is little difference between the way we treat those who engage in espionage and those who disclose information to the press with the intent of informing public debate,' said Mary-Rose Papandrea, a professor at Boston College Law School.
波士顿大学法学院(Boston College Law School)教授帕潘德雷亚(Mary-Rose Papandrea)说,曼宁受到检控清楚地显示出,在我们当前的法律制度下,对于那些从事间谍行为的人和那些出于引导公众辩论的目的向媒体披露信息的人,我们给予的对待几乎没有分别。
Pfc. Manning's sentence was the longest meted out in recent history for a would-be whistleblower charged with espionage for sharing classified information in an effort to change U.S. national-security policies. But the scope of Pfc. Manning's leak was unprecedented.
