Bradley Manning aided al-Qaida with WikiLeaks documents, military says
Manning, charged with aiding the enemy, accused of indirectly aiding terrorist group by leaking thousands of documents
Army private Bradley Manning aided al-Qaida by leaking hundreds of thousands of military and other government documents to the anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks, the military said.
Manning had previously been charged with aiding the enemy among a total of 22 counts, but on Thursday the military identified the enemy Manning's actions aided. Manning and his attorneys are appearing at a hearing at a military courtroom for two days of hearings in the case.
During Thursday morning's hearing the military judge in the case announced military prosecutors' answers to a series of questions about the accusations against Manning. The judge, Colonel Denise Lind, said the government contends Manning indirectly aided al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula by giving information to WikiLeaks.
Military prosecutors say Manning, 24, downloaded and sent to WikiLeaks nearly half a million sensitive battlefield reports from Iraq and Afghanistan, hundreds of thousands of diplomatic cables, and a video of a deadly 2007 Army helicopter attack that WikiLeaks shared with the world and dubbed "Collateral Murder".

the implosion of the Obama candidacy.
Does he have no idea why the democratic party lost the 2010 elections? It was because his "base" (then progressive democrats) was so sick of his r/w bullshit. Does he think that the majority of Americans agree with santorum or romney? No, the majority of Americans (if they choose to/ are allowed to, vote) are Progressive. That is why we elected Obama in '08. We believed what candidate Obama told us he would do. When we saw how the party caved at every r/w challenge, most progressives decided to teach him a lesson. He did not learn it.
Honestly, is this worthless DOJ trying to destroy an Obama re-election or does Obama think that WE are happy that we are becoming an obvious Authoritarian regime? Congress recently made protesting (previously our first ammendment right) a felony, so that the elite can be protected; and now telling the truth (Manning) makes you a supporter of "our enemies."
This is going to keep Progressives at home during the elections and the teaparty will win....because, obviously it doesn't matter. We are a one party (for the elite) country, making freedom illegal.
Fucking Treasonous idiots.
It's time to dust-off the passports and flee this sinking corporate peopled ship. Either that or protest and keep the for-profit prison industry in business.
we need an upside down flag "smilie"
