A military judge is set to issue a verdict in the court martial of
the US soldier who disclosed reams of secret documents to the Wikileaks
website
Manning has admitted to sharing massive tomes of classified data with
the anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks. He was arrested while deployed to
Iraq in 2010 and spent more than 1,100 days in pretrial detention before
the court-martial began in June.
The prosecution hopes they’ve convinced Lind to convict Manning of
aiding the enemy, a charge they’ve accused him of because the documents
the soldier sent to WikiLeaks were published openly on the Web and
eventually downloaded by al-Qaeda.
