WikiLeaks contributes to Manning defense, support group says

WikiLeaks has contributed to the legal defense of Army Pfc. Bradley Manning, an online group supporting Manning announced Thursday.

WikiLeaks transferred $15,100 to the legal trust account of Manning's attorney, the Bradley Manning Support Network said in a news release.

Manning, 23, is facing eight counts of violating U.S. Criminal Code for allegedly leaking a secret military video from the Iraq war that made its way to WikiLeaks.org. He is the suspected leaker of cables and other documents relating to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

    Well at least they are looking out for their own. If the tables were flipped I doubt Uncle Sam would drop $15k on a spies legal defense fund. I didn't really learn anything from wikileaks I didn't already suspect, or know.

    He must have been aware of the consequences. If he is stupid enough to divulge all that classified information, he should spend the rest of his life in prison.
