Julian Assange has got world-wide media sympathy (and where he doesn't have sympathy he at least has attention) for his struggle to get out of the broom closet at Ecuador's London embassy for the asylum now assured him in that country.
Meanwhile, Bradley Manning, the US Army private who made that biggest-ever Wiki scoop happen, is rotting in a cell.
In an otherwise excellent article in Counterpunch this weekend Chris Floyd offers an incisive analysis of the Assange case, without ever mentioning Manning.
Assange has world-class media clout. He and his acolytes should be using a bit more of that to shine a light on Manning's situation.
