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.

Well, maybe, if you want to go back and try to arbitrarily assign cause/effect. However, others will point out that the whole overthrowing Iraq/Hussein was Wolfowitz's strategy to kick off an Arab democratic uprising. Once democracy was installed in Iraq, the other middle east countries would fall one by one into democratic governments. So why do you consider the Iraq war a bad thing? Do you really support those entrenched dictators that much?

Because playing world police is unjust and the ends don't justify the means. And the results speak for themselves.
