Bradley Manning nominated for 2013 Nobel Prize sentenced to 25 years in Jail?? Odd??


Does the name Nelson Mandela or others come to mind?

On one hand a hero, not easy to get a nomination for the Nobel prize, on the other a 25 year Jail sentence, has the world of high society and politics given in to a weird double standard? seems that way?

Make your own mind up?

Comments please.

Thanks.
