That's a statement with which nobody disagrees. She still deserves a legal defence. What's your point?

There full names were leaked. Security for them has been compromised. Maybe they don't go to the news about it, they're private individuals.

Yeah, obviously tragedies get reported only when the victims mention them to news organisations. The rest just passes us by.

Bradley Manning seems to have a lot of free defense already. Not a lot of people defending the facts. He's confessed.

The fact that she divulged the documents isn't under dispute, not even by her legal team, so I don't see why would they need to be "defended".
