What I suggest is rather the possibility that Manning him-/herself may have been unduly influenced about it during captivity. But even if the decision is completely uncorrupted I find it it is of some interest to consider how it could be used. Manning personally is arguably of little consequence to the power game now, but Manning's reputation and story is highly interesting to both those who would have transparency and those who would have utter secrecy. That game is still very much open.
