Army Leaker Chelsea Manning on Obama’s ‘Short List’ for Commutation

Manning's sentence could be commutated as soon as today
President Barack Obama has put Chelsea Manning, the former Army intelligence analyst serving a 35-year sentence for leaking classified material, on his short list for a possible commutation, a Justice Department source told NBC News.
A decision could come as soon as Wednesday for Manning, who has tried to commit suicide twice over the past year and went on a hunger strike in a bid for gender reassignment surgery.
Those words of contrition did not sway the military judge, who gave Manning a sentence about 10 times longer than those of recent whistle-blowers.

If I wanted a presidential pardon I'd come out as transgender as well

This will be his "I was transparent and friendly to whistleblowers!" trophy.

Justice was served, he's paid the price, I hope he does get a pardon. I wish Snowden got one more, but that'll never happen.

No.

Assange is not an American citizen and has broken none of our laws.

Errr, Hillary Clinton asked if they could assinate assange in 2010.

Curious as to why not? Assange ultimately leaked them to the world.

Doubtful.

I would say conservatives are more prone to be anti government and therefore sympathetic to whistle blowers.
It certainly won't piss me off.

That's how leftist think and make policy decisions.

Assange didn't steal classified information, he isn't an American citizen, and he didn't possess a security clearance. He broke none of our laws that I'm aware of, and isn't subject to them anyway.
