for of for bradley manning supporters who i mean we've seen protests in support of bradley manning throughout the country and their support is not so much for manning as an individual that too of course but. more importantly for the public's right to know and for many supporters it's always been a big question as to who aided the enemy they are given as being that the u.s. government has aided the enemy much more than bradley manning because they argue that the government's killing of civilians in all these different countries has generated more enemies for the u.s. than manning's revelations half well that of course a rhetorical argument that had no place in court gone over the last hour you've been following for us so that how much media coverage you've been able to see the over in the states but you know we know this guy really held as a hero by all those what's the initial reaction been like. oh well kevin of course he he has been i mean he's been found guilty before before a trial both by the compliment and by much of the media. and the pulse polls show that the majority of americans do

man: infrastructure is vital to the american economy. water, after all, is an essential ingredient in hundreds of thousands of everyday products. narrator: agriculture and industry use roughly 80% of the water consumed in the united states. water is the basis for manufacturing many goods and provides the ability to clean and sterilize everything from computer chips to the surgical instruments used in hospitals. kelly: the minute that there's not enough water for businesses, industry, and individuals, they have to go elsewhere. and when they go elsewhere, jobs go elsewhere. your entire economy begins to suffer with the lack of clean water. narrator: while the water infrastructure provides for our health, safety, and economy, a growing concern is that the value society derives from water has not traditionally been reflected in the price we pay for water. man: when you take a look at how much people pay for water, as a percentage of median household income, it's usually less than 1%. and when you compare that to how much we pay for electric

but manning supporters are in the minority poll it shows that the majority of americans consider manning a traitor who cares whether the army killed some innocent people or not over in iraq we you know we don't want to we don't want to be a part of that with very uncomfortable so if it's a complex issue and it's uncomfortable americans generally will pull back from it and it allows the media to fill that gap and portray bradley manning as a traitor it's been all too easy to label bradley manning a traitor perhaps because his revelations had to do with the u.s. government's wrongdoings abroad. polls show that americans are more sympathetic to snowden perhaps because these revelations are about their rights their civil liberties so they care more when it's over iraq his wife they apparently care less some argue that politics and timing have also played a role in the media coverage of bradley manning's case this it happened during the war and he was. the least got the stuff out scooped all these major media outlets right as the bush administration was ending and the war was still an issue a

the manning case has touched off a serious debate over the harm that manning has done and whether the government initially overstated the damage. like the nsa leaker edward snowden, manning has been called a traitor by some, a hero by others. let's talk to jeffrey toobin and what ask your reaction? >> i thought it was a good verdict. i think the charge of helping the enemy was excessive and it was good the judge acquitted him of that charge. but i think what manning did was appalling. he betrayed his fellow members of the military and the foreign service and should be going to prison and others. >> glenn, i know you disagree. >> i do. i think the verdict and jeff's comments underscore what a lot of people really hate about washington, which is if you're sufficiently rich and powerful and well connected in washington, the laws don't apply to you, you don't get punished. the only people that do are people like bradley manning. the theory that the government used was that he engaged in espionage and helped the enemy because the material he caused to be published on the internet was helpf

and the question is what else did bradley manning know or a bradley manning-type person know. have to look forward to the funeral and say if this precedent is okay, if this information can get out, the government thinks what else could get out that could be damaging information. you're seeing that play out with the disclosures on nsa surveillance. >> bill: i'm not happy about it, i'm not proud of it but i think we're better off knowing what happened with that apache helicopter at haditha. this is like the massacre in vietnam. not that we're ever -- we're ashamed of it. the american people know these things can happen in wartime. people who do those crimes ought to be prosecuted. >> obviously the government wants there to be a chilling effect. that's part of the point is even if you put aside what we're talking about which is all right, what dam was done. there is an overclassification, if nothing else, the whole leak of these things, you say why was this classified? why didn't we know? but on the other hand, do we really want to encourage or can we even sustain a system where
