Well, Manning was not charged either.

You can say all you want it was security detention, it's a warning send to other wannabe whistleblower, and it's torture to me.

(and if it's not a political decision, I wonder how it is called)

Well given that even Snowden was careful to emphasize how different his behavior was from Manning's, I'm not sure why you think invoking Saint Bradley helps your point.
