I didn't say anything about cable leaks or what Manning leaked, that is a different conversation.
I am simply referring to the Obama administration's treatment of Manning, and Obama's cowardly attempts at saving grace by granting clemency right as he's leaving office, and shortly after Assange claimed he would turn himself in if Manning was granted clemency (Obviously Assange wasn't being for real and didn't)
I'm implicitly referring to the NSA spying programs leaked by Snowden. That has nothing to do with the program you're talking about.
Nice strawmanning, though.
- nl 9y agoI didn't say anything about cable leaks or what Manning leaked, that is a different conversation. err... His regime was brutal against whistle-blowers. Look at Chelsea Manning. It's pretty hard to read that as anything except you using Manning as an example of a whistle-blower.
- kakarot 9y agoI'm not talking about what Manning leaked, just that they were a leaker who the US government made an example of.
