Bradley Manning To Ask Obama for Pardon

Don't hold your breath

Bradley Manning will send a personal plea to Barack Obama next week for a presidential pardon after he was sentenced on Wednesday to 35 years in prison for passing hundreds of thousands of classified military documents to WikiLeaks.

The sentence was more severe than many observers expected, and is much longer than any punishment given to previous US government officials who have leaked information to the media.

Manning showed no emotion, neither when the sentence was delivered, nor after being escorted into a side room, where his lawyers and members of his family were waiting, some of them in tears.

Someone associated with Manning has a very dark sense of humor.

The kid may spend half his life in prison, but at the very least the opportunity to wave his middle finger in Obama’s four-flushing face is worth something.
