He deserves to goto prison. no government, however open,can function without confidential diplomaticcommunications. no military operation cansucceed if its officers have to presume thattheir reports are going to be published. evenso, the Pentagon’s pursuit of a convictionon the capital chargeof aiding the enemyis harsh. the sentenceof life without parolethat such a sentencecould carry would beexcessive.Manning’s supporters,who gather mostmornings outside thehigh-security Marylandbase where he is beingheld, call him a politicalprisoner. some see himas heir to an Americantradition of brave andclear-sighted whistleblowingembodiedby daniel ellsberg,the former militaryanalyst who leakedthe Pentagon Papers,which revealed theextent of Us involvementin Vietnam. Heis neither of these things. When posted toBaghdad he was a confused and profoundlyunhappy 21-year-old. From the available evidencehe was intellectually curious but notimpressively informed. He was not allowedto be open about his homosexuality owingto laws that have since been repealed, butwas open nonetheless on Facebook abouthis myriad frustrations. He has been detainedfor breaking rules that apply to all Usmilitary personnel, not for his politics.in a pre-trial statement Manning claimedthat his goal in copying and sending somuch material to WikiLeaks was to spark adebate “over the role of the military and ourforeign policy in general”. He has sparkedplenty of debate, but mainly on another subject– whistle-blowing and the duty of thestate to protect those who engage in it.With notable exceptions, including cableson the flimsy basis for holding certainGuantanamo Bay detainees, the leakeddiplomatic traffic wasuncontroversial. ifanything, it revealed amore thoughtful anddiligent foreign servicethan America’s habitualcritics were inclined toadmit. What promptedthe mainstreammedia’s interest inWikiLeaks’ output wasits earlier leak of gunPublished letters arenot necessarily theviews of the Editor.Readers wishing tomake a complaintthrough the GDNshould provide full detailsof the complainttogether with theircontact telephonenumbers.camera footage, also supplied by Manning,from a Us Apache helicopter shooting andkilling 11 civilians in Baghdad in 2007.the narrow question of Manning’s guiltor innocence has already been decided.He has pleaded guilty to 10 of 22 charges,which alone could mean a 20-year sentence.But in ruling on the other charges and anyadditional jail time, Judge denise Lind, whois presiding without a jury, should considerone simple counterfactual: What if that guncamera video had never been made public?it reveals a tragedy and, at best, appallingbattlefield judgment. At worst it shows awar crime. since 9/11 the “enemy” that theprosecution in this trial alleges Manninghelped has spread to every continent.the security apparatus that pursues it hasproliferated to meet the threat and its intelligenceis vital. But in the end an opensociety’s best <strong>defence</strong> is openness. thatentails disclosure, and to that, too, Manningcan plead guilty. He deserves a measure ofleniency.H GI have a dream...AFew years ago a group of young Swedish musiciansencouraged us to “Dream the impossible dream”.On picking up my copy of your newspaper the othermorning, I couldn’t help wondering whether there wassome truth in their words. There, on the front page wasthe condemnation into the withholding of personal passportsby businessmen in <strong>Bahrain</strong>.

This would imply thatit would be cheaper to hire <strong>Bahrain</strong>is – unemploymentbanished overnight with maybe a 10 per cent reductionin the number of foreign workers.Part three of my dream would be to see a realisticpractical business education programme to enable commercialenterprises to compete and justify their businessprogrammes.But of course, these are only dreams and will probablynever come to fruition.d Jyour day seems full of promise, even though you mayhave a busy to-do list to deal with.

The S&P 500 is just 1.5 per cent awayfrom its all-time closing high, but other thanFriday’s rally on the jobs data, it has been stuckin a period of uncertainty.The Labour Department added 175,000 jobsin May, slightly higher than expected, but at alevel that indicates the status quo should holdfor the Federal Reserve’s stimulus programme.Some had worried that if job growth farexceeded expectations, the Fed would reducebond-buying sooner than expected, while otherswere concerned that an exceptionally weaknumber would reveal a fundamentally softlabour market. The data’s ability to relieve bothfears may benefit stocks.“The number had a little something in it foreverybody, in terms of those who suspect taperingmight begin sooner and those who think itmight start later,” said Janney MontgomeryScott chief investment strategist MarkLuschini, adding that the May payrolls figurecould “prime market participants to be morepositive toward equities leading into nextweek’s trading.”The programme is widely cited as a majorcontributor to the S&P 500’s surge of 15.2pc in2013, when it has hit a repeated series of recordhighs.Wall Street’s performance has been closelytethered to the Fed’s stimulus programme, benefitingfrom the belief that the economy is justDILBERTMayssan Hanjin due from Far East June 20Al Noof Hanjin due from <strong>US</strong>, Mediterranean June 20Hanjin Belawan Hanjin due from Inter <strong>Gulf</strong> June 20TS Jakarta TS Line due from Far East June 24UASC Samarra Hanjin due from Europe June 27Palena Hanjin due from Far East June 27Hanjin Los Angeles Hanjin due from <strong>US</strong>, Mediterranean June 27Hanjin Malta Hanjin due from <strong>US</strong>, Mediterranean June 27Hanjin Belawan Hanjin due from Inter <strong>Gulf</strong> June 27TS Singapore TS Line due from Far East July 1Dilmun Shipping AgencyTS Qingdao Emirates due from Far East tomorrowAsian Grace Hyundai Glovis due from Far East June 12Xin Nan Sha CSCL due from Far East June 15Donau Trader Emirates due from Far East June 17Glovis Challenge Hyundai Glovis due from Europe June 19Morning Champion Eukor due from Europe June 22UASC Samarra CSCL due from Far East June 22TS Jakarta Emirates due from Far East June 24UASC Khor Fakkan CSCL due from Far East June 29TS Singapore Emirates due from Far East July 1Al Farahidi CSCL due from Far East July 6<strong>Gulf</strong> Agency CompanyMOL Continuity NYK due from Europe todayessential guide to local and world marketsJobs data boost for investorsn Traders on the floor of the New York Stock Exchangeweak enough to keep the Fed buying bonds.When Fed chief Ben Bernanke said on May22 that the central bank may decide to reducepurchases if the economy shows signs of significantimprovement, stocks fell and bondyields surged.The uncertainty has also increased volatility,with the S&P 500 frequently making dailymoves of 1pc or staging dramatic middayreversals. The CBOE Volatility Index, or VIX,has risen more than 20pc over the past threeweeks, although at a level of 15.14, it is still ata level associated with a relatively calm environment.“Equity markets are in a period of adjustment,”said JP Morgan Fundsglobal market strategistAnastasia Amoroso.“If there’s an unannouncedchange in policy, that could be ashock to the downside.”That adjustment is likely to keep trading ina narrow range. On Thursday, the S&P 500briefly fell under its 50-day moving averageof 1,604, as well as below the psychologicallyimportant level of 1,600, beforerebounding. However, the benchmark indexremains below its 14-day moving average of1,645.08.This year’s gains have been broad, with all10 S&P 500 sectors sharply higher, so it is difficultto determine which sectors may be themost vulnerable to a market pullback. The bestperformingsector of the year – health care, up20pc – is a defensive group, as is telecom, oneof the year’s weaker performers, with a gain of8.6pc for the year to date.WEEK AHEADNYK Virgo NYK due from Far East June 11NYK Athena NYK due from Far East June 12Mayssan CSAV/NOR due from Far East June 15NYK Adonis NYK due from Europe June 16Tsing Tao Express NYK due from Far East June 18MSC Antiga CSAV/NOR due from Europe June 18Buxcost CSAV/NOR due from Europe June 18NYK Apollo NYK due from Far East June 19International AgenciesEver Unity EMC due from Far East tomorrowCMA CGM Laperouse ANL due from Europe June 12ITAL Laguna EMC due from Far East June 17Ever Union EMC due from Far East June 17CMA CGM Marco Polo ANL due from Europe June 19National ShippingUmm Salal Cosco due from Far East June 11Cosco Oceania Cosco due from Far East June 11YM Success YML due from Far East June 12Shahraz HDSL due from Far East June 13MSC Bari MSC due from Europe, Mediterranean June 14MSC Deila MSC due from Europe, Mediterranean June 14CMA CGM Marco Polo MSC due from Europe, Mediterranean June 14Messologi MSC due from Far East June 14Mare Caribicum MSC due from Far East June14Cyclical sectors, which are tied to the paceof economic growth and have been especiallysensitive to any indication that Fed policy maybe changing, have also outperformed the broadmarket this year.However, despite those gains and the Feduncertainty, they may not be vulnerable goingforward.The shakier sectors have been the big dividendpayers, because higher yields on safegovernment debt would make those shares lessattractive.“Investors haven’t simply been ‘selling thewinners,’” Bespoke Investment Group wrote ina note to clients this week.“What investors have been sell-ing are the high dividend payers,which is not usually what happenson pullbacks. In fact, the oppositeusually occurs, as investors flockto ‘safer’ plays.”For the week, the Dow Jones industrial averagerose 0.9pc, the S&P 500 added 0.8pc andthe Nasdaq advanced 0.4pc.Next week, there appear to be few obviouscatalysts to change the equation. Only two S&P500 companies – H&R Block and PVHCorporation – are scheduled to report results.The economic data calendar is light, thoughMay retail sales on Thursday and the preliminaryreading on June consumer sentiment onFriday will be closely watched.Inflation data will also be on the agenda. The<strong>US</strong> Producer Price Index, set for release onFriday, is forecast to rise just 0.1pc in May,according to economists polled by Reuters, aftera drop of 0.7pc in April. On a year-over-yearbasis, overall PPI is expected to rise1.4pc in May, the Reuters Poll showed.“It looks like we’re shaping up fora traditional summer where we’llbuild a base and perhaps enter intothe doldrums of summer trading,”said LEK Securities director of tradingFrank Davis .With the exception of consumerstocks, which could be affected by theretail data, Davis added, “I’m not anticipatingany meaningful follow-throughto next week, but I’m not anticipatingany measurable pulldown either.”
