The New York Times<\/a> reports that Bradley Manning has petitioned the President to reduce his 35-year sentence for being a traitor to “time served” because he didn’t intentionally intend to hurt any of his fellow soldiers or to damage the national security of the United States. That was his gender dysphoria talking.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am not asking for a pardon of my conviction,\u201d she wrote. \u201cI understand that the various collateral consequences of the court-martial conviction will stay on my record forever. The sole relief I am asking for is to be released from military prison after serving six years of confinement as a person who did not intend to harm the interests of the United States or harm any service members.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms. Manning\u2019s petition was accompanied by letters of support from Daniel Ellsberg, who is famous for leaking a classified history of the Vietnam War known as the Pentagon Papers; Morris Davis, a former military commissions chief prosecutor; and Glenn Greenwald, a legal commentator and journalist who has been an outspoken supporter.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, that’s who I want in my corner, Daniel Ellsberg and Glenn Greenwald. Manning probably doesn’t have much hope for an appeal to the next President.<\/p>\n

I expect that next he’ll try to convince someone that it was his male identity that committed the crime and now that he’s female, that isn’t the person that committed the crime, so they have the wrong person in prison.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
