Commenting on Bradley Manning case, JD Gordon former defence spokesperson said, “I think he’s involved in this 21st-century type of warfare, and he’s basically become a special-forces soldier in the war of ideas. I think that, like Edward Snowden, he’s trying to attack the United States, he’s trying to tarnish our image and make things difficult for us.” JD Gordon says Manning could have gone to his superiors with his concerns rather than WikiLeaks if that did not help he could have gone to his Senator. Similarly treatment of Snowden. Don’t these two cases vindicate Pakistan’s position on Afridi? Instead of working for CIA, or passing on information to CIA, he should have passed it on to Pakistani authorities.
