Subject: RE: BS: Bradley Manning gets 35 years sentence
As Chelsea, does she get sent to a woman's prison?

I definitely think it more interesting that Bradley came out as Chelsea than that s/he got 35 years. I woulda thought life or nothing.

I am an Embassy brat, and I have thought for EVER that what got said in classified cables was horrifyingly bigoted.

"There's ten thousand ragheads out chewing the flag" was how they informed DC of the 1979 takeover of the Teheran embassy, for example, and me of the term raghead. Arabs were also called sand-niggers. I mean really. In writing. By officials.
