Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.
If he really believed that what he was doing was right then he should be proud to die for it.

Mike Rogers, a congressman who sits on the House Intellegence Committe, told a Michigan radio station that he believes Pfc Bradley Manning should be executed if found guilty of leaking war documents. Manning is currently being held in solitary confinement in Virginia, and is awaiting trial in connection with the recent wikileaks debacle that resulted in more than 1,000 documents reaching the public. Rogers believes that the leaking of documents amounts to treason.
"He clearly aided the enemy to what may result in the death of U.S.
soldiers or those cooperating..." said Rogers when questioned by the radio station. "If that is not a capital offense, I don't know what is."
However, the Pentagon recently claimed that many of the documents were not classified. Below is the U.S. code on treason.
"Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them
or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the
United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death,
or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this
title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any
office under the United States."
Do you think that Pfc Bradley Manning should face execution for treason if he is found guilty?

As the pentagon said. The videos were not classified.
Justice be done~~!! Just my opinion.
If his actions caused deaths and suffering and they can be proven to be treason, there's not much hope for him.
He should not however be used as a political scapegoat should this go higher
I said that in order to say this,if American or soldiers of the other countries involved or if Afghan citizens are killed because of his action assuming that he is even guilty, then yes execute him!
