Chelsea Manning

If you're in the mood for a particularly bizarre (and disappointing) experience, I can recommend the Louis Theroux interview with Chelsea Manning, which is available on BBC iPlayer. When asked about Julian Assange and his likely incarceration in a US maximum security prison for the rest of his life, she showed little emotion and no concern to speak of, and one of her two "minders" interjected to tell Louis to "move on" from the subject. Chelsea Manning's only reaction was to wave her arm in the air as if pushing an unpleasant memory or occurrence behind her and to mutter something about "that was ten years ago and I was a different person". I'd be interested in others' reactions.
