As you’ve probably heard by now, President Obama has commuted the bulk of Chelsea Manning’s sentence. Manning, a bona fide traitor to this country, will now be out of prison in a matter of months.

However, as sickening as all this is, there may be one small bright spot.

Well maybe there's this fun little silver lining, at least. https://t.co/isl7Qos9yr

Check out this Wikileaks tweet from last week:

If Obama grants Manning clemency Assange will agree to US extradition despite clear unconstitutionality of DoJ case https://t.co/MZU30SlfGK

Is that so?

Will Julian agree to be extradited to the US now? https://t.co/eu6Tga3HbK

. @wikileaks Will Mr. Assange honour his pledge? Will he agree to extradition?

So, what do you think? Think Assange will hold up his end of the bargain?
