(CNN) -- A military judge has found Pfc. Bradley Manning, accused of the largest leak of classified information in U.S. history, not guilty of aiding the enemy -- a charge that would have carried a maximum sentence of life in prison.

He was found guilty of most of the remaining charges against him, with the judge accepting some of the guilty pleas he made previously to lesser charges.

If he had been found guilty on the aiding the enemy charge, Manning could have been sentenced to life in prison. He could be sentenced to up to 20 years behind bars on some of the other charges.

Manning already has spent three years in custody.

You can't tell me that in this day and age there is no way that this little POS traitor didn't know this info would fall into the hands of the enemy.


As soon as Assange posted the files the Taliban started downloading and reading them.


It was PC not lack of evidence that stopped that charge from going the other way.

The B.B.C. this morning said he could be sentenced to over 100 years...only a thousand years or so too short.

Yet another traitor who is called a hero at DUmmyland.

What the DUmmies won't understand is that even though he was found not guilty of the charge which would have GUARANTEED he died in prison, he was found guilty of just about every other charge, which means he'll still likely never breathe free air.

Now if we can move on to Hasan and give him the needle--four years is long enough, people.
