Not a new article, yet good info I hadn’t remembered hearing about.. > Obama took 28 years off the sentence of a soldier who stole and then released through WikiLeaks almost half a million military reports plus another quarter-million State Department documents.
Obama considered Manning’s 35-year sentence excessive. On the contrary. It was lenient. Manning could have been — and in previous ages, might well have been — hanged for such treason. Now she walks after seven years.
Agreed. This is a poor take. He exposed war crimes the pentagonwas covering up. They also sent it to wikileaks / Julian assange, who tends to release info responsibly. Yet assange is the one that gets imprisoned indefinitely.

Manning is a hero. Look at what he leaked.
