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.

The last time I saw him he was walking down Lover's Lane holding his own hand.

There is a huge difference between finding out the NSA is doing something illegal, documenting it, redacting it and publishing it via reputable reporters, and going to an underground IRC chat saying: "I’m a 1337 haxor, here’s my warez, oh shiz the cops, how did they know it was me?"
Snowden is a whistleblower and has my respects because he actually proved the NSA was doing something illegal. Manning just dumped a bunch of files that proved nothing. He did not offer any reasoning for it until after he was caught. What illegal acts did manning uncover besides his own?
