Michael Moore, the Oscar-winning filmmaker, will contribute $5,000 to help defend the Army private suspected of leaking classified documents to an Internet whistle-blower from serving time in prison.
A champion of liberal and left-wing causes, Moore told The Associated Press in a telephone interview he also hopes to make the public understand that Pfc. Bradley Manning exposed what Moore called "war crimes."
"He did a courageous thing and he did a patriotic thing," Moore said.
Manning, 22, faces up to 52 years in prison if convicted of downloading classified material and passing it to an unauthorized person while working as an intelligence analyst in Iraq.
In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
Good for you Michael Moore, a truly great guy. I have seen most of his movies and they are excellent.

How can he call them patriots? The real patriots are the men and woman in combat fighting for his country. The freedom that he should be grateful for!
