Are we convinced that Assange didn’t coerce Manning?
I would like to know more about that before I make any conclusions.

I would like to know more as well.

I’ve heard that Assange was in contact with Manning before the leaks took place, but unless Assange was holding Manning’s family hostage, I don’t especially expect to be swayed by the argument that Assange was anything more than the catalyst to Manning’s actions.

Once again assuming that Manning is the guilty party which hasn’t been proven yet…
