Chelsea (n\u00e9e Bradley, aka Breanna) Manning has switched up again, this time he\/she\/whatever has decided that along with his\/her\/whatever’s name and sex that they are changing their motivation from a “peace advocate” to a “transparency advocate”. From NBC News<\/a> thanks to Dave;<\/p>\n

In a two-page statement to Britain’s Guardian newspaper, Manning said not only that she’s not a pacifist but that she even believes it could be reasonable to interpret the documents she gave to WikiLeaks in 2010 as justifying U.S. military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

“It’s not terribly clear to me that my actions were explicitly done for ‘peace.’ I don’t consider myself a ‘pacifist,’ ‘anti-war,’ or (especially) a ‘conscientious objector,'” Manning writes in the statement, which is dated Monday but wasn’t published until Wednesday.<\/p>\n

“I’m a ‘transparency advocate,'” Manning wrote. “I feel that the public cannot decide what actions and policies are or are not justified if they don’t even know the most rudimentary details about them and their effects.” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, I don’t know what any of that means. I guess that person is trying to mitigate that person’s crime. It seems to have been triggered by some hippies naming him their winner of a peace prize of some sort<\/a> even though he’s been credited with needlessly causing the deaths of people all because his boyfriend dumped him.<\/p>\n

But, his announcement that he’s not a peace advocate should be a kick in the ‘nads to Code Pink and the Vets for Peace which always a good thing. Manning goes on to tell the media that he knew nothing of the award when his lawyer said that Manning was “overwhelmed” by the award. Imagine that, one of Manning’s lawyers lied.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
