Republican Rep. Mike Rogers, from Michigan, has stated that, if Pvt. Bradley Manning is found guilty, the punishment should be death.
"We know for a fact that people will likely be killed because of this information being disclosed," he told Michigan-based WHMI. "That's pretty serious. If they don't charge him with treason, they ought to charge him with murder.Yes, the punishment for treason is death penalty. He continued:
"I argue the death penalty clearly should be considered here," he said. "He clearly aided the enemy to what may result in the death of U.S. soldiers . . . If that is not a capital offense, I don't know what is."Currently Manning is being held and faces several charges.
