NANTUCKET, Mass. – Chelsea Manning told a crowd at a “creative thinkers” conference in Nantucket on Sunday that she’s not an “American traitor” as her critics have claimed and she did what she thought was the right thing to do.
Manning attended the annual conference for The Nantucket Project in Massachusetts. The Nantucket Project is a venture founded to bring together creative thinkers to uncover the ideas that matter most. Organizers say about 600 people attended.
This was one of Manning’s first public appearances since being released from a military prison in May. The Associated Press was the only media outlet in attendance.
“I believe I did the best I could in my circumstances to make an ethical decision,” she told the crowd when asked by the moderator if she was a traitor.
The 29-year-old Manning is a transgender woman who was known as Bradley Manning when she was convicted in 2013 of leaking a trove of classified documents. She was released from a military prison in May after serving seven years of a 35-year sentence, which was commuted by President Barack Obama in his final days in office.

Execution would have been fitting, and saved taxpayer plenty of money that we spent on his chopadickoffame operation.
Mr. Manning IS a traitor....to God and country.
“It” shoudl’ve been provided a blindfold and an unfiltered Camel...
He can claim anything he wants but like a prostitute claiming they aren’t a prostitute the facts are opposite of the claims.
I had the same clearance. I would still be sitting on at least 20 years more if I sh*t on my country, but the eunuch treasonous ex PFC freak is special.
I couldn’t agree more but I doubt he’d appreciate an unfiltered Camel, he’s a wimp.
Yep, but he’s only special because of traitor 0bama who commuted his sentence.
It takes about three minutes to smoke one...
Yep, years ago when I smoked em I’d walk a mile for a Camel, he wouldn’t get past the first puff. :)
Of course, he is not a she. He still has the ‘Y’ chromosome. He doesn’t have the proper ‘Q’ angle at the hips. His shoulders are still too wide and his hips are too narrow. His internal plumbing is still the same, even if he has had a ‘lopitofamy’.
That one doesn’t exactly have the best track record of determining what he is, and what he is not.
Well, he is not a “man” in the manly sense of things - he is an eunuch, a castrated male human. That is, of course, if he has had the balls to cut them off!
She’s not, but her alter ego Bradley is.
He should have been shot.
No, I simply don’t waste my life watching movies and especially do not have time to toss away grabbing screen shots or what ever that was from movie scenes to post on web sites.
Did you enjoy the Colbert Trump bash last night and please tell those of us that don’t know who any one there was how it was .
