Discussion: Chelsea Manning Released After 7 Years In Military Prison

Critics said the leaks laid bare some of the nation’s most-sensitive secrets and endangered information sources, prompting the State Department to help some of those people move to protect their safety.

Obama’s decision to commute Manning’s sentence to about seven years, including the time she spent locked up before being convicted, drew strong criticism from members of Congress and others, with Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan calling the move “just outrageous.”

It is good to know what Ryan considers “outrageous”. It is a benchmark for calibrating his character. Compassion is outrageous but depriving millions of healthcare coverage is just hunky-dory.
