I needed to change the picture I had of a slightly imbalanced, pissed-off homosexual living under the pressures of don't ask, don't tell. He's clearly a sharp and principled person.
What's bullshit is he fessed up to the leak and got twenty years.
What he's doing now is defending himself from charges of "aiding the enemy," an additional twenty-five years.
This doc is two years old (I think), and one can argue with some of the parts, but it's really worth a watch:
