Bradley Manning and his 35 years in the nick

Well, it will be, probably, closer to 15 than to 35. Then, the martyrdom has at least two sides to it: fame and honor on one and suffering (or death) on the other.

And anyone who is stealing secret government documents is bound to experience the second side of the martyrdom, while the first is still not assured.

So there.

I suppose you mean the feds would track him down after his inevitable release, probably slowly, maneuvering on a cane for the aged. All in all I'd say he got off better than George Zimmerman, who will never have a moment's peace.

All in all, I'd rather look at Jordan Carver. I bet bees would never swarm her. They'd just hover nearby in silent awe.

Well, not so aged, he is eligible for parole after 15 years, so he will be around 40 when the time comes.

Now, don't tell me you didn't enjoy the view of a cop car being swarmed by bees. I be the cops are inside too, shaking in their size 12...

It's Chelsea Manning you patriarchal oppressors!

Oops, you are right. She does. I mean she is. I mean... whatever. So she will be moved to the female wing now, I guess.

That is weird. Or maybe just a ploy to get into a woman's prison.

Either that or they left the roof lights on. Now if they had Jordan Carver in there with them...;-)
