As reported here

Chelsea Manning, the transgender Army private convicted of leaking national security secrets, faces a hearing Tuesday for prison infractions that could result in solitary confinement.

Manning, who was intelligence analyst Bradley Manning when arrested in 2010, is charged with disrespect of a prison officer and is accused having books and magazines including Vanity Fair and Cosmopolitan, among other offenses.

Noteable from the article, it is apparently "disrespect of an officer" to request a lawyer.

        Funny in that, as I understand it, the term nigger implies "ignorant" and Obama is clearly educated, far more than the GP appears to be?
