Harvard University reversed
its decision to name American hero Chelsea Manning (formerly known to the world as US Army Pfc. Bradley Manning) a "Visiting Fellow" early Friday, a
day after the CIA's director told them to].

Go to Harvard!
Douglas Elmendorf, the dean of the university's
[CIA assassinated] John F. Kennedy School of Government, wrote in a statement posted to the
university's website that naming Manning a visiting fellow was a
mistake, even though he said the title carries no special honor.

| War is Peace. Just ask Obama. |
"We invited Chelsea Manning to spend a day at the
Kennedy School," he wrote. "On that basis, we also named Chelsea Manning
a Visiting Fellow. We did not intend to honor her in any way or to
endorse any of her words or deeds, as we do not honor or endorse any
Fellow."
Elmendorf apologized to Manning and to "many
concerned people" he said he had heard from "for not recognizing upfront
the full implications of our original invitation." Manning is still
invited to spend a day at the school and speak to students, though
without the visiting fellow title, he wrote.

Manning
responded on Twitter early Friday, writing that she was "honored to be
1st disinvited trans woman visiting @harvard fellow."
"They chill
marginalized voices under @cia pressure," she said while also accusing
the school of letting the CIA determine "what is and is not taught." More
