Bradley Manning Sentenced to 35 Years in Prison | Politics News | Rolling Stone.

” Government transparency advocates say that Manning’s sentence is unprecedented for the United States. ‘We’ve never seen this long a prison sentence for leaks to the press,’ says Ben Wizner, director of the American Civil Liberties Union’s Speech, Privacy, and Technology project. ‘This is new ground for the U.S.’

Following the ruling, Amnesty International called on President Obama to commute Manning’s sentence. “Bradley Manning should be shown clemency in recognition of his motives for acting as he did, the treatment he endured in his early pre-trial detention, and the due process shortcomings during his trial,” said Widney Brown, Amnesty’s senior director of international law and policy, in a statement.”

Wow, anyone who bought and sucked down BHO’s brand of lying liberalism should be choking on it right about now.
