Re: Chelsea Manning confirms health status with attorneys
#2This part seems a little bit ironic "Though she would have preferred to keep her private information private".
Is that not why she's come into the public eye? For releasing private information that some people would have preferred to keep private?
This isn't a comment on whether her leak was the right thing to do or not, just the whole "Treat others like you want others to treat you".

The two cases are hardly comparable.

Yeah, for releasing someones health info. Do yourself a favor and do a little research before commenting on a public forum.

Ask yourself what value to society do Chelsea create with her leak?
Then ask, what value does broadcasting her health status everywhere provide society?
Hopefully this will help inform you of the differences in these separate acts, since it seems to have blown right by you at light speed.

You are entirely overlooking the question of whether the public should have the right to know the private information, which was what drove Manning's motivations.
"Information that some people would have preferred to keep private" is a general statement that could be applied to anything from a teenage girl's diary to an impending nuclear attack. To handwave that away is to make the entire matter meaningless.

#7When you write a letter to someone facing 20+ years more in prison, who has just tried to kill herself, what do you say? I'm kind of at a loss for words -- "hope you get well soon?" "hope you are out of the hospital and back to your, uh, home soon?"

#8Is anyone surprised she's suicidal? Locked in solitary confinement, for a minimum of 8 years (probably a lot more), at the hands of an obviously vindictive government - I imagine that by now I would have tried to kill myself too.

It makes me wonder if the will of the people who want her pardoned could help her, or if it is actually hopeless.

Transgenders have an alarmingly high suicide rate even without those factors piled on.
