Manning. And it needs to be a full and unconditional pardon.

Those are only a few of many links. There are also several Facebook pardon Manning pages but I did not link to those because in the comment sections they contain some intemperate remarks about President Obama which I do not endorse.
I respectfully submit to President Barack Obama that it would be the right thing to do.

(13,056 posts)that the President cannot ignore it. Just Google "pardon Bradley Manning" and see how many hits you get. And even if it doesn't happen working to try to make it happen is the right thing to do.

(20,600 posts)It would have to be the next president who would pardon him I think. Obama is too close to the case, in terms of the classified stuff Manning released. But he could serve 9 years and be paroled then early from what I read anyway.

Sadly, chance of an Obama pardon just about zero.
Just a look what the man is comfortable doing in the name of national security should convince you of that.
