How about at least owning up to the shit we do that is bad?

By all means, let's do that.

It would help if they wouldn't keep the guy leaking that sort of info in prison for 3 years without a charge, like he was some kind of terrorist.

Who is this referring to? It's certainly not Manning, whose trial is currently ongoing (and leaked much, much more than "bad things USA did" besides).

Who was in prison for 3 years without a charge for leaking? Charging is easy, Snowden has been charged within a short time. Why would US government omit such an obvious and easy step as charging in such a clear case as leaking? Who is the guy you are referring to?

Bingo.

You've contributed nothing with this shameless strawman of an argument. Nobody here made that claim, and probably nobody ever has made that claim. Who are you arguing against?
