Unless the 'enemy' is the people of the USA, which it obviously is, I can't see how the espionage charges can fly. He was not working for another country. Stealing US property? Every federal employee who has ever taken home a pen from work can be done on that one.
Quote:On July 30, 2013 Col. Denise Lind found Pfc. Bradley Manning guilty of 20 offenses of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, which included six violations of the Espionage Act; five offenses of stealing U.S. Government Property; and one violation the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. Manning faces up to 136 years in a military prison, dishonorable discharge; and forfeiture of all pay and allowances.
