I think Manning probably lacked the sophistication to have as many options as Snowden. Snowden, could have remained anonymous a lot longer, too, though probably not indefinitely. What do you think about him disclosing his identity before he had to? I also don't think Snowden had the same options as Ellsberg to have his contributions to public debate so quickly recognized since there are different attitudes in Congress right now. Quite likely, as long as he remains safe for a few years, he'll get powerful senators as protectors, too.
