Chelsea Manning was arrested, charged, found guilty, served a term and is now free.

Julian Assange has never been charged with anything but is still effectively under house arrest and is definitely not free. The USA, UK (and Sweden) threaten to extradite him and charge him with something. Maybe. Probably.

@jbond Julian Assange is unfortunately a bit less of a sympathetic character than either Bradley/Chelsea Manning or Edward Snowden, because his organization has a political agenda and leaks tactically. Also, he would've been wise to keep his pants on during that Sweden visit. Who he sleeps with is nobody else's business, but it was a very unwise move for him to make as a public figure.

@thor Regardless of sympathy for individual characters, who's more at fault; The leaker, the whistleblower, the data thief or the publisher? And of course there's some question about exactly which of those roles Wikileaks and Assange are playing.

Agreed about the trousers. Walking (?) into a sex sting is not especially clever.

@thor There Are No Rape Charges Against Julian Assange in Sweden. There Are Espionage Charges Against Julian Assange in the USA.
