Chelsea Manning in, then out at Harvard

Chelsea Manning was yesterday selected as a Harvard visiting fellow - and then deselected/uninvited/revoked today after protests from ex-CIA types. I get that they might think poorly of Mannning who was responsible for releasing troves of data to Wikileaks and hence to the rest of us: but seeing as Sean Spicer (surrogate liar-in-chief for the first six months of this awful presidency) and Cory Lewandowski (the man who led Trump's campaign until even Trump could stomach him no more) were fellow appointees, it seems rich that she is the only one whose appointment was a 'mistake.'
