1) Manning - put several people's lives at risk, but I have tremendous sympathy for her situation.

2) Snowden - slightly conceited, but more worryingly allows self to be used by Putin and various awful people.

3) Assange - narcissistic .

They should all ideally be rotting in prison. Manning is probably the worst but Assange and Snowden are similarly horrible.

Manning is obviously the best, and even from the perspective that this sort of information shouldn't be made public she's still probably the least bad. Assange is the literal Worst from almost any imaginable perspective.

I'll never for the life of me understand why oakvale feels the way he does about this.

This, though Assange still seems like an ass (see Gully's thread)

Manning. Snowden sold his soul to Putin, and Assange is a narcissistic hack.

Snowden is the best, but not a huge fan of any of these.

Manning is a martyr who turned herself in. Snowden is a FF too, but he doesn't have the guts that Manning did. Assange is a freak.

1. Snowden

2. Assange (he seems like the least pleasant as an individual but he released way more critical information than Manning and it was through WikiLeaks that Manning was able to leek information to begin with)

3. Manning

1. Is there any actual evidence of that?

2. What would you have suggested he do? Spend the rest of his life in prison?

Manning.

Snowden is too self-serving and Assange is too rape-y.

I really don't see how you can rate Manning above Assange. He/she wouldn't have been able to leak info without WikiLeaks.

Well, I have zero respect for each of them, so it's kind of an impossible question.

oakvale doesn't have a real ideology beyond going against what he feels is the popular consensus.
