Green Shadow Cabinet: The conviction of Bradley Manning for espionage directly threatens freedom of the press in the US, because the prosecution's argument was that publishing (true) information is a crime because it makes the US look bad.

It is standard for tyrannical regimes to claim that exposing their flaws is disloyalty, as "grounds" to punish those who do it. Some of Dubya's followers argued that people who criticized Dubya's wars were supporting al Qa'ida. Obama has converted this notion into law.

When the US government calls on people to help it cover up crimes so as not to give opponents a way to make it look bad, we must respond, "You should have considered possible condemnation before you committed such acts." Then, as the Green Shadow Cabinet says, we must get the US to drop this practice.

But that's not enough. The US has an obligation to try the perpetrators of war crimes, starting with Dubya.
