Assange said if Manning was pardoned, he'd come out of the embassy...that didn't happen, so I doubt he'll come out...Skjellyfetti wrote:Obama commutes Chelsea Manning's sentence.
Now, curious to see if Assange agrees to be extradited.

The military was being about the prosecution of the war and civilian death totals. She exposed that albeit while breaking the law, owned it, apologized and did 7 years including solitary.Ivytalk wrote:Why?kalm wrote:Pardoning Manning was a good thing.
Let's be honest, the main reason for the commutation of the sentence was the gender switch and the military's refusal to house her in a prison according to her new gender.kalm wrote:The military was being about the prosecution of the war and civilian death totals.

As for the crime, hey, once you're in the military there's a chain of command to follow to expose what had to be exposed here. There were plenty of ways to bring to light the military's faults without going so far outside the command that going to WikiLeaks represented. And you're ignoring that with all that she stole and gave to WikiLeaks, only about 1% of it dealt with the military's misdeeds.
