Liberal poster boy hero wants to be a girl.
Facing 35 years in prison, not clear how much it will
matter.
Liberals have professed to admire Manning's dignity and courage, comparing him to runaway Snowden who refused to stand trial and take his medicine, as required by the official ethic of civil disobedience.
They have denounced the sentence as excessive and the original charges as outrageous.
And they are still denouncing the nasty conditions in which he was held, pre-trial.
It appears not to have occurred to anyone that solitary confinement might be the only reason Manning lived to face trial.
Would he not have been an easy and tempting target for horrific mistreatment and even murder, had other prisoners been able to get to him?
