From prison to politics: Bradley Manning runs for US Senate

NORTH BETHESDA, Md. (AP) — Bradley Manning is no longer living as a transgender woman in a male military prison, serving the lengthiest sentence ever for revealing U.S. government secrets. He’s free to grow out his hair, travel the world, and spend time with whomever he likes.

But a year since former President Barack Obama commuted Manning’s 35-year sentence, America’s most famous convicted leaker isn’t taking an extended vacation. Far from it: The Oklahoma native has decided to make an unlikely bid for the U.S. Senate in his adopted state of Maryland.

Manning, 30, filed to run in January and has been registered to vote in Maryland since August. He lives in North Bethesda, not far from where he stayed with an aunt while awaiting trial. His aim is to unseat Sen. Ben Cardin, a 74-year-old Maryland Democrat who is seeking his third Senate term and previously served 10 terms in the U.S. House.

Manning, who also has become an internationally recognized transgender activist, said he’s motivated by a desire to fight what he sees as a shadowy surveillance state and a rising tide of nightmarish repression.

1. Voting for a bunch of felons as it is, might as well vote for progressive ones.

He should be living in a padded cell.

FNC was reporting this morning that it (Manning) wants to do away with prisons and the borders of the USA. :mental:
