Change the policy on espionage to lower the penalty when the leak does not risk lives.

Created by P.F. on September 05, 2013

Change the policy on espionage to lower the penalty when the leak does risk American or our respective allies’ troops on the ground. This would mean that in cases like Bradley Manning’s where none of the information directly risked real lives and only exposed secrets about bombing and drone strikes Manning would be held less accountable, but in situation where real espionage from foreign powers or to “Aid the enemy” the perpetrators could be found guilty as the law stipulates now.
