Manning Sentenced to 35 Years in WikiLeaks Case – WSJ.com

“Pfc. Manning is a high-profile example of the administration’s crackdown on leaks. It has used the 1917 Espionage Act to prosecute more than twice as many people for mishandling secret government information as all other administrations combined.

Seven people, including Pfc. Manning and Mr. Snowden, have been charged under the act. Before President Barack Obama took office, only three people faced similar charges.”
