Between Manning and Assange, whom do you think is more deserving of a pardon?

False dichotomy; pardon them both, plus Snowden.

But if what you're fishing for is that Assange did more for the world, was more dis-proportionally persecuted with less legal justification, then yes.

The idea I’m trying to explore is the appropriateness of all the presidential pardon decisions. I agree with you, both deserve pardons.

Listing the pardons by appropriateness is just one component that may help analyze the issue. That’s what I meant by asking the question.
