Was Bradley Manning Right to give away Classified Information?

bradley manning  We have been following the court martial of Pfc Bradley Manning recently which has led to much discussion about whether he was right or wrong to release classified information to Wikileaks which is the well known whistle blower organization.

Let me say that I really don't believe that Mr Manning's intentions were that noble at all. They were just the tantrums of an angry misfit who had a problem adjusting to military life and submitting to authority.

If he was so concerned about wrong doing by our government and the military why would he endanger the lives of his comrades and the civilians who aided our government by providing them information about our enemies?

If he was fulfilling such a noble role why did he release hundreds of thousands of pages of classified documents that had absolutely nothing to do with any atrocity or perceived war crime on the part of the US?

I will admit that our government is no model of piety, neither are many of our elected officials. 

Our military ring customers are simply a product of the society that they come from but lets not get it twisted. Mr manning committed a crime that is a result of his own twisted, confused nature. He doesn't deserve accolades from anyone at all.
