It also depends on how you look at the nature of the leak. I cast Manning's leak as "similar" to past ones based on content and the number of truly sensitive documents -- on the scale of the Pentagon Papers or leaks from the Manhattan Project.

But even the Defense Department acknowledged that only a small percentage of the documents she leaked were "sensitive" or "highly sensitive". No one has been able to leak as many documents as she did (thanks to modern technology).
