TIMES
Manning was ordered to jail by U.S. District Judge Claude Hilton after a brief hearing in which Manning confirmed she had no intention of testifying. She told the judge she "will accept whatever you bring upon me."Chelsea Manning embodies the integrity sorely needed in the world today. She is willing to return to incarceration despite having already endured seven years of horror, in the course of upholding her principles and defending the right of US citizens to know what their government is doing in their name.
"These secret proceedings tend to favor the government," Manning told reporters before her hearing, according to The Washington Post. "I'm always willing to explain things publicly."
Manning's lawyers have asked she be confined to her home instead due to the medical complications she faces.

The judge, however, concluded U.S. Marshals could appropriately handle her medical care.
Prosecutor Tracy McCormick said Manning can easily end the incarceration on the civil charge by testifying.
I have new respect.... The grand jury should be bringing charges against the US government clowns who were treasonous in Odumba's administration.You are a huge bullshitter too. No way you voted for Obama as you claimed in another post to pretend to be "impartial".
I have new respect.... The grand jury should be bringing charges against the US government clowns who were treasonous in Odumba's administration.WHAT ABOUT THE BUSH CLOWNS YOU SHILL. MORON!
Again, SHE's got more balls than over 75% of U.S. males.You have that right; talk about walking your talk every which way you slice it . . .
