Bob Carr is dead . . . wrong. Manning was tortured in custody so that contributed to her release. She had become a political liability.
The pardon also wrong-footed Assmange though that was probably just a bonus. So there’s no reason not to try someone for attempted breaking-and-entering; especially if they have a criminal record of breaking and entering NA-based computers.

Remember when WikiLeaks said Assange would agree to extradition if Manning got clemency?

“The Yank has had her sentence commuted; the Aussie faces an extradition and a cruel sentencing”referring to @xychelsea (the source) vs #Assange (the publisher).

This kind of thing really hits a nerve in Australia. #FreeAssangeNOW
