The article has been revised in the past hour. An hour ago, it said she had a rolled-up cover of Vanity Fair, not the entire magazine.

And I reiterate: Why is Vanity Fair contraband?

"Bottom line", Chelsea Manning is being treated incredibly unfairly by the military penal system. This is an extension of that. I'm not trying to make this into something it's not - we're talking about a person spending the next 30 years in solitary for having a magazine.

That's some straight-up North Korea shit right there. If you don't get that, I'm not sure there's any way to make you see it.
