I may disagree with commuting Manning's sentence, but I am sympathetic to the view that the governments keeps too many secrets and needs to be more transparent. I have no sympathy for any government official who was exposed by the leaks but I do think Manning went about it the wrong way.
However someone is going to have to explain to me why this douchebag had his sentence commuted.
