Should pardons even be allowed to be granted? The fact is governors and the president are not involved in individual court cases, so they lack all knowledge they need to effectively pardon someone anyhow. The arguement that they should be decided by the SCOTUS and not the executive branch could also be made. So, my answer is Bradley Manning.

Since the ability to reprieve or pardon is explicitly granted to the President by the Constitution, the question's moot.
I'd expect more commutations (get out of jail early) rather than pardons.

I do not see Manning or Snoden getting a pardon especially since it was his policies which ensured they are where they are

He tried to make it up to manning by allowing a sex change and s'body got that disallowed, they said if manning wanted that let him pay for it when his time is up and he's out.. some p.c. Types weren't happy with that officer's comment. They thought because some I n the civilian prison system could get it, Manning should also. A spokesman for the officer explained the military is different.. the p.c.s dug more but no further comments from the military side..
