I'm not sure what PFC Manning did amounts to much more than a leak (on a large scale). I don't believe Scooter Libby was charged with treason, but with obstruction of justice and perjury.

Yeah, but Libby didn't leak anything classified to anyone as far as I can see. This makes it apples and oranges compared to Manning who deliberately did so. Bob Novak (RIP) was the one who leaked Valerie Plames' name.
