So Snowden, the guy who fled to Hong Kong and Russia rather than face the consequences of being caught (because the whistleblower law wouldn't apply to him as a contractor and he was capital F fucked) did it right... while Manning, who pled guilty, cooperated with the investigation, received the longest sentence of any leaker ever (despite none of the information being classified as Top Secret) and was subjected to such inhumane treatement that it was ruled by the UN as torture, did it wrong?

Are you sure it's not because she revealed that the US (shockingly!) was committing war crimes?

Also Obama had to respond, that's how formal petitions that gather more than 100,000 signatures work. The White House is obligated to respond after that threshold.

Yeah, that might be it, to a degree.

Like I said, I don't have really strong opinions about Manning herself and what she did, I haven't studied really heavily on it beyond "she leaked shit, stuff happened, people were angry", I have a bigger issue with the whole spectacle of it, especially the timing.

Like I said, she formally petitioned him in November, it passed the 100,000 signatures required for the White House to formally respond in December, we're now in January.

Seems like a pretty straightforward timeline to me.

I'm stoked it's happening. Heck, I wish everyone's sentence got cut short.

I prefer mass executions.















Of everyone.

Nuke Guantamo. Then Detroit. Then Mexico. Use Canadians for fast food labor. Win at world.

… and Donairs for all.

Yeah. And fashion a banana split with poop and FedEx express it to China's great leader. Teach them.

Oh, yeah, this too, also:

This's more than a little surreal.

It's begun.
