The sooner the world forgets this particular person, the better.
It sounds like you object to Ms. Manning's publicity seeking, which is a position that I can understand, regardless of whether I agree with it.
Separated from the question of how the incident gained enough attention to appear on Hacker News, how do you feel about the police response in this incident? Or does your distaste for Ms. Manning prevent you from considering it dispassionately?
