Bradley Manning 'systematically harvested' documents


http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/67948000/jpg/_67948344_67953331.jpg


Mark Mardell reports


Military prosecutors have said US soldier Bradley Manning
"systematically harvested" a vast trove of secret documents
to share with Wikileaks


Military prosecutors have said US soldier Bradley Manning "systematically
harvested" a vast trove of secret documents to share with Wikileaks.

At the start of Pte Manning's court martial, a prosecutor said Osama Bin Laden had
received leaked information.But defence lawyers said Pte Manning, 25, was young
and naive when he shared the files with the anti-secrecy site.He has not denied his
role in the leak, and faces up to life in prison if convicted of aiding the enemy.
Earlier this year, Pte Manning pleaded guilty to 10 of the 22 charges against him
related to the leaks, but not to the most serious charge.

The Manning-Wikileaks case is considered the largest-ever leak of secret US
government documents. Prosecutors say the disclosures harmed US national
interests, while Pte Manning's supporters say he is a whistle-blowing hero.

In opening statements on Monday at a military courtroom in Fort Meade, Maryland,
prosecutor Capt Joe Morrow called the case an example of what happened "when
arrogance meets access".

Day three of the Bradley Manning court-martial kicked off on Wednesday in Ft.
Meade, and the prosecution called a number of witnesses who worked with the 25-
year-old soldier accused of the largest classified information leak in US history. The
prosecution and Manning's defense counsel questioned supervisors who worked
with Manning in Iraq before and during the time he accessed hundreds of
thousands of sensitive files and shared them with the whistleblower website
WikiLeaks. In February of last year, Manning pleaded guilty to 10 lesser charges,

Trial of Bradley Manning set to begin today three years after he allegedly stole

documents and giving them to Wikileaks
•Manning says the 'blood lust' within the U.S. military is what caused him to be
become disillusioned with government policies towards the wars in Iraq and

The trial of Bradley Manning, the former intelligence soldier accused of leaking
information to Wikileaks, is finally set to begin today.


It comes three years after the Army private first class was first arrested for
allegedly stealing classified government documents and giving them to the anti-secrecy website .

In all, Manning, 25, faces charges of larceny, aiding the enemy and violating the
Espionage Act, as well as 10 lesser counts - such as improper handling of classified
information and impeding the order and discipline of the military - on which he
already has pleaded guilty.

Traitor or hero? Public opinion of Bradley Manning varies depending on whom you
ask

Manning has been considered both a hero and a traitor after his May, 2010 arrest
for giving the sensitive government materials to Wikileaks - his supporters say he
is a 'political prisoner' who simply shed light on serious problems within the military
and the U.S. government as a whole. His critics say he put American lives at risk by
distributing military secrets that could help enemies of the U.S. kill soldiers.

•Speculation rife on the internet over who is involved in No.10 secret love affair as
PM holds crisis talks over tryst
•Lobbying curbs on way as peers hit by new sleaze scandal branded 'a new low for
British politics'


Of the items Manning is alleged to have stolen and given to the website are more
than 250,000 diplomatic cables, more than 500,000 Army battlefield logs, and
videos of airstrikes in Baghdad and Granai, Afghanistan, during which soldiers are
heard making disparaging remarks about the men they had just killed.

Manning says he stole the information after becoming disillusioned with U.S.
actions in Iraq and Afghanistan, and a policy geared towards 'killing and capturing
people.'

Protesters on Saturday marched during a rally in support of Army Pfc. Bradley
Manning

'They dehumanized the individuals they were engaging and seemed to not value
human life, and referred to them as, quote-unquote, dead bastards,' Manning said
of the video of the airstrikes, noting the 'blood lust' the soldiers appear to show by
their comments.

Manning's attorney, David Coombs, issued a brief statement on his website
Sunday. It reads in part, "On behalf of both myself and Pfc. Manning, I would like
to thank everyone for their continued support over the last three years." He also
thanks supporters for raising money and awareness of the case.

Coombs has made few public statements during the Manning case.

If convicted of the more serious charges, Manning faces up to life in prison.

CIA chief leaked classified info to Hollywood for 'Zero Dark Thirty'



ylCt3SsMrfw

Published on 6 Jun 2013


Last month, the Associated Press discovered first-hand how far the Justice
Department is willing to go to root out leakers of classified information, but are all
leaks bad leaks? Former CIA Director Leon Panetta exposed the Navy SEAL team
name responsible for carrying out the bin Laden raid and specifically released the
name of the unit's ground commander to filmmaker Mark Boal for Zero Dark Thirty.
Meghan Lopez has more on how the Obama administration is choosing who to go
after.

[witchy1]

Good article here: http://www.stuff.co.nz/world/americas/8772637/One-man-faces-the-machine
For those with slow internet speed, here is a slightly abridged version

The Obama administration is going for broke
Washington is flogging a dead horse.
Bradley admits that he leaked the 700,000-plus diplomatic and military papers he has pleaded guilty to about half of the charges against him and says he'll do 20 years in jail.
Prosecution says it would settle for life behind bars with no chance of parole - Then why are they determined to see conviction on the charge that he ''helped the enemy'', which is punishable with death?

Media lawyers see it as an attempt to establish a chilling precedent - a warning to all would-be leakers of national security information that they would be risking lengthy solitary confinement, as endured by Manning, and the prospect of death or spending the rest of their life in jail.

Former US Army colonel and diplomat Ann Wright told Fairfax Media: "The government wants to put an end to whistleblowing."
The ''helping the enemy'' charge is under the 1917 Espionage Act - used just three times in its first 92 years, but used six times in Obama's first term as president.

Manning's court martial coincides with a realisation by many Americans of two surprising aspects of the Obama presidency - it is intensely secretive and more zealous than any of its predecessors in guarding that secrecy.
Government appears to be relying on a level of public apathy that dovetails with the military notion that, more often than not, the military does not have to explain itself.

The President who first campaigned to be Commander-in-Chief telling Americans that he would be the whistleblowers' new best friend and that he would preside over ''a new era of open government''.



US media is not hugely interested in the Manning trial. Reports on the opening could not command page one in The New York Times or The Washington Post, despite both newspapers incurring the legal wrath of the Nixon administration in the previously most celebrated case of leaks and government secrecy - the Pentagon Papers sensation of 1971.

Obama administration is under fierce attack because of overly zealous snooping by the taxman; its rottweiler-like pursuit of leakers, which includes seizing reporters' phone records and describing the conventional practice of journalism as breaking the law - either by conspiring with a leaker or by aiding and abetting them.

The trial proceeds against a backdrop of bipartisan political anger at the shortcomings of the military justice system in dealing with endemic sexual abuse and harassment across all arms of the services.

On the one hand, Justice Potter Stewart: "It is elementary that the successful conduct of international diplomacy and the maintenance of an effective national defence require both confidentiality and secrecy."
And on the other, Justice Hugo L. Black: "The guarding of military and diplomatic secrets at the expense of informer, representative government provides no real security for our republic."

The trial itself is an exercise in military-minded secrecy - reporters and the public are made to jump through hoops merely to be present; and for as many as one-third of the prosecution witnesses, the press and spectators will be ordered out of the court; photographers outside the court are blocked from getting images of Manning; photographs and documents tendered in court are withheld, to be released seemingly at the whim of the court or its staff.

On the opening day of the trial, here, in the land of free speech, US Army guards at the court ordered Manning supporters to turn their ''truth'' T-shirts inside-out before allowing them into the tribunal.

In the Manning case, Military Judge Colonel Denise Lind gives away little. Some thought a smile creased her face when she addressed the defendant on the opening day, but Manning supporters are more struck by the fact that she had allowed just one of about 100 defence motions in proceedings to date.

However, she had issued a preliminary ruling in which she deemed the extent of any damage caused by the Manning leak to be immaterial.

Government spokesmen, including former secretary of state Hillary Clinton, would have us believe that the sky fell in the aftermath of the staggered leaks, but when the rhetorical angst was put to one side, it seemed that the consequence of the leaks was limited to a hefty dose of embarrassment in Washington.

Washington has not been able to link the death of any American or any of their Iraqi and Afghan helpers to the Manning leaks.

The prosecution has marshalled a small army of witnesses - more than 140. But some of the first dozen or so spoke well and constructively of Manning or offered insights that complicated life for the prosecution more than they did for the defence.

Chief Warrant Officer Hondo Hack, described Manning as one of the best soldiers to work under his command. "Very neatly organised, very categorised - I've seen a lot of soldiers but not to his level"

There was a major embarrassment for the prosecution when one of Manning's senior analyst colleagues revealed they had not been warned about websites that al-Qaeda and the other insurgent groups used as sources of information. "It is general information that they go on all sorts of websites," Captain Casey Fulton explained before rattling off a list that included Facebook and Google - but not WikiLeaks.

Judge ruled in a pre-trial decision that the prosecution must show that Manning had ''actual knowledge'' of himself ''actually giving intelligence to the enemy'' through ''a third party, an intermediary or in some other indirect way''. The prosecution had to show that Manning had ''a general evil intent'' and to have been aware that he was ''dealing, directly or indirectly, with an enemy of the US''.
The judge seems to agree with Bill Keller, a former managing editor of The New York Times, when it was one of several newspapers worldwide that teamed up with WikiLeaks to publish the Manning leaks.

Keller said: "If Manning's leak provided comfort to the enemy, then so does every news story about cuts in defence spending, or opposition to drone strikes, or setbacks in Afghanistan."

Did Manning ever say that he wanted to ''help the enemy'' - "not in those words, no," said the convicted hacker Adrian Lamo, to whom Manning had first owned up to the leaking and who, within 24 hours, had dobbed him in to military intelligence.

AS to terrorist tendencies on his computers? Mark Johnson, a forensic digital examiner said that none of the material found on the computers related to terrorism or "indicate a hatred of America".
Former army colonel Ann Wright "No one has been able to link Manning to wanting to get stuff to Osama bin Laden."

The government is limiting its sense of the potential audience for the WikiLeaks material to terrorists - ''the enemy''. American Civil Liberties Union lawyer Ben Wizner found this striking, citing the Abu Ghraib torture pictures as he told The New York Times: "Sometimes what may be helpful to the enemy is also indispensable to the public in a functioning democracy

Hi music,

Your grave reservations are duly noted and fully understood. Here is another twist to this story, even if they (the Illuminate darlings) are using, abusing and manipulating the I am Bradley Manning campaign, doesn't matter. We can co-opt it, flood it with true Self awareness and use it to wake people up. This isn't about "following" but about leading. It has long been apparent for me that the divide and conquer mentality is starting to fail. It is inherent in ourselves to not allow it to succeed.

For this reason I am Bradley Manning, victim of mind control, patsy and human being. Not because I am suckered into their game but because I want to state "but by grace there go I." How many members of Avalon have been subjugated to similar methods of mind control, manipulation and degradation of being? How many have struggled to find the answers themselves? And how many realized that they needed a helping hand?

In all self honesty we all operate from an agenda... to deny that is a falsehood itself. It just depends on what agenda you are choosing to operate from.

Christine

[music]

Good point, Christine, this is a conversation my wife and I have had many times, relating to many issues. It's true, we all do co-opt their ploys in many ways every day, and each measure they put in place to control us places another straw upon the camel's back, or another drop to the glass. So soon, very soon, the back of tyranny will be broken, and the milk of human kindness will overflow.

For me, the energy I get behind not only Manning, but Wikileaks in general, is not that they are being used by the elite after inception, but that they are vehicles set rolling by them to further their own agenda. Not everyone agrees with that, obviously, but ...

The key point is consciousness. Without the desired energy of intent (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?55206-Energy-of-Intent), our will is unfocused and unclear. Without the desired energy of intent, we run the risk of inputting energy to their cause, and not the cause of humanity.

[gripreaper]

The illicit intent, is to control both sides of the dialectic. In duality, in order for manifestation to remain divided and polarized to the extremes, which keeps the energies discordant and perturbed, we must align our energies with some aspect of the electromagnetic spectrum, and focus it there in order for the divisiveness to remain in the field of consciousness, and the nefarious elite agenda to succeed.

We are being used. While we are powerful energetic beings, we do not know how to use our energy and keep it in balance. The elite know this. The elite know how to manipulate both sides, how to keep the energy divided and discordant, how to rally up the opposites and stimulate and discharge the energy. They know how to keep the energy from coalescing and magnifying into unity consciousness.

This is being played out big time right now. Leaks, scandals, rallies, oppositions, Bilderberger meetings, Bradley Manning trials, Alex Jones rants...

You name it. It's all part of the dialectic to keep the energy polarized and divided.

[music]

Hence focussing our energy of intent. Energy without focus is random, I know from much prior experience that focussed energy gets results.

You are correct though, our energy is dissipated, dispersed, misappropriated, and used to feed the machinery of oppression. Therefore, we must always be careful when we see an energetic campaign that asks our involvement.

Mindfulness.

We don't let our energy go until we have charged it with what we feel in our OWN heart, regardless of what sugary or clever words have been employed to persuade or disarm us.

Private first class Bradley Manning's trial continued on Tuesday,
and the defense had its turn in questioning the computer forensic
analysts about what they were able to find against the soldier.
Pfc. Manning is being accused of leaking a video in 2009 of a Garani,
Afghanistan air-strike, but the private denies the allegation.
RT's Liz Wahl brings us the latest developments of the case from
Ft. Meade, Maryland.

[Maia Gabrial]

Bradley Manning had it right when he said that The People had a right to know about these crimes done on the country's behalf. If they'd been aware of it, they'd have been totally opposed to all of it as evidenced by all of the support Bradley has gotten and is still getting.
IMO the way the military and govt have treated him makes them all look pretty bad. Pathetically bad....

[Maia Gabrial]

For those who think that Bradley Manning deserves to get some kind of punishment for what he did, let them not forget that he had already been brutalized and punished in every conceivable way before getting a trial. And then he's going through a kangaroo court to boot. He's paid his debt already....

On Wednesday, Private first class Bradley Manning's hit its sixth day and the court
is now considering whether or not Manning's first charge of releasing a video
showing the US military implementing a deadly attack in Afghanistan could be
challenged due to conflicting dates. Earlier this week, Army prosecutors tried to
prove that Pfc. Manning sent the whistleblower website WikiLeaks a video of the
2009 air strike in Farah province, but their own witnesses couldn't make the
connection. RT's Liz Wahl is at Fort Meade with more on the trial and what some

USA: Bradley Manning should be allowed to make 'public interest' defence



Posted: 03 June 2013


‘It disturbing that he was not permitted to offer the "public interest" defence' -
Anne FitzGerald

Bradley Manning must be allowed to argue that he acted in the public interest when
he distributed information to WikiLeaks, Amnesty International said today as the
court martial against the US soldier began in the US state of Maryland.

Manning faces multiple charges in relation to obtaining and distributing thousands
of classified documents to unauthorised parties, including “aiding the enemy”.

The charge of aiding the enemy carries a potential death sentence, although the
prosecution has said it would not seek this in his case. Instead, Manning faces a
possible life sentence or decades in prison.

Manning has already pleaded guilty to 11 of the charges after presiding Judge Col
Denise Lind ruled that he could not argue that he was acting in the public interest
when he released information to WikiLeaks. At the start of his trial, in a statement
read to the court, Manning stated that he believed he was exposing abuses. Judge
Lind ruled that Manning’s motives for disclosure were not relevant to whether he
had intentionally broken the law, but could only be considered in mitigation for
purposes of sentencing.

Information released by Manning included a video of a 2007 Apache helicopter
attack in Baghdad in which US soldiers killed 12 people, including civilians, and
which hadn’t been in the public domain until then. Although a US military internal
inquiry on the incident concluded that the soldiers had acted appropriately, there
has been no independent and impartial investigation into the attack.

Amnesty International Research and Crisis Response Director Anne FitzGerald said:

“The court must allow Manning to explain in full his motives for releasing the
information to WikiLeaks.

“It disturbing that he was not permitted to offer the ‘public interest’ defence as he
has said he reasonably believed he was exposing human rights and humanitarian
law violations.

“Allowing Manning to explain his motives only at the sentencing stage could have a
chilling effect on others who believe that they are whistleblowing or acting in the
public interest in disclosing information.

“Manning should have been allowed to explain how in his opinion, the public
interest in being made aware of the information he disclosed outweighed the
government’s interest in keeping it confidential.”

Manning could be sentenced to a maximum of 20 years for the 11 charges for
which he has pleaded guilty. He was arrested in May 2010 while stationed with the
US army in Iraq and has been held in military custody since then.

Amnesty will continue to follow the case closely and will send an observer at key
points of the trial, which is expected to run for the next several months.

Bradley Manning guilty of espionage in Wikileaks caseComments (370) US Army
Private First Class Bradley Manning is escorted by military police as he leaves his
military trial after he was found guilty of 20 charges 20 July 2013

Bradley Manning, the US Army private who leaked thousands of classified
documents, has been convicted of espionage but not of aiding the enemy.
Pte Manning, 25, has been found guilty of 20 charges in total, including theft and
computer fraud.

http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/69030000/jpg/_69030645_69030640.jpg

He had admitted leaking the documents to anti-secrecy organisation Wikileaks but
said he did so to spark a debate on US foreign policy.The leak is considered the
largest ever of secret US government files. He faces a maximum sentence up to 136
years. His sentencing hearing is set to begin on Wednesday.In addition to multiple
espionage counts, he was also found guilty of five theft charges, two computer
fraud charges and multiple military infractions.

'Won the battle'

Pte Manning stood and faced Judge Colonel Denise Lind as she read the decision on
Tuesday. She said she would release detailed written findings at a later date.
He appeared to not react during the verdict, but his defence lawyer, David Coombs,
smiled faintly as the not guilty charge on aiding the enemy was read.

"We won the battle, now we need to go win the war," his defence lawyer, David
Coombs said of the sentencing phase. "Today is a good day, but Bradley is by no
means out of the fire."

Being found guilty of aiding the enemy could have had serious implications for
people leaking documents in the future, says the BBC's North America editor, Mark
Mardell.

"The government's pursuit of the 'aiding the enemy' charge was a serious
overreach of the law, not least because there was no credible evidence of Manning's
intent to harm the USA by releasing classified information to WikiLeaks," Amnesty
International said in a statement.

Among the items sent to Wikileaks by Pte Manning was graphic footage of an
Apache helicopter attack in 2007 that killed a dozen people in the Iraqi capital
Baghdad, including a Reuters photographer.


The documents also included 470,000 Iraq and Afghanistan battlefield reports and
250,000 secure state department cables between Washington and embassies
around the world.

Pte Manning, an intelligence analyst, was arrested in Iraq in May 2010. He spent
weeks in a cell at Camp Arifjan, a US Army installation in Kuwait, before being
transferred to the US.

March to the White House

During the court martial, prosecutors said Pte Manning systematically harvested
hundreds of thousands of classified documents in order to gain notoriety. With his
training as an intelligence analyst, Pte Manning should have known the leaked
documents would become available to al-Qaeda operatives, they argued.


The defence characterised him as a naive and young soldier who had become
disillusioned during his time in Iraq.

His actions, Mr Coombs argued, were those of a whistle-blower.

In a lengthy statement during a pre-trial hearing in February, Pte Manning said he
had leaked the files in order to spark a public debate about US foreign policy and
the military.Much of the court martial was spent considering the soldier's intentions
as he leaked the documents.His supporters rallied outside the court in Fort Meade
and said they are planning to march to the White House on Tuesday evening.

Bradley Manning Guilty on Most Charges in Wikileaks Case

wnoFPei74yU

Published on 30 Jul 2013


US Army private was acquitted of the most serious charge of aiding the enemy.

Aided the enemy through his leaking of classified documents to WikiLeaks.
Military judge colonel Denise -- found Manning guilty of lesser espionage
charges but did not think that many in fact helped the enemy. When he
released some 700000.

Classified documents to WikiLeaks. -- army private first class former
intelligence officer had been cast a hero. By transparency activists and
a -- and by national security hawks now though his fate is sealed through
this court martial.

And I want to bring in ABC's news chief global affairs correspondent
Martha Raddatz for more on the verdict. Martha I want to ask you
obviously the bar was very high for the prosecution that still were
you surprised by this decision. I was somewhat surprised by the
decision that obviously is the most serious charge.

Bradley Manning we'll spend many many many years in prison.
In fact he's already pleaded guilty to ten lesser charges that
could give him up to twenty years. In a military prison and these
other charges he's found guilty -- will probably give him.

Even more time but not life in prison that was life in prison without
parole so he has dodged that. His his attorneys the defense attorneys
really tried to paint him. Is a nineteenth -- he was 22 years old when
this happened who didn't really know what he was doing who was
trying to bring attention.

To the war and -- you'll remember one of the original things that was
leaked. By WikiLeaks. Through.

Bradley Manning was a video and there were several videos combat
cameras from the war. That showed US soldiers. Killing they did not
now it was a cameraman.

But a Reuters cameraman and sound man and you can hear that you
hear the audio -- -- it is really quite alarming to listen to. And that
video was taken back in 2007 so since that time obviously his wound
through the courts and certainly a lot of people have weigh in on this.
The prosecution arguing -- fact that those actions.

Help the enemy the judge not seen -- quite the same way. But still
the prosecution very adamant those documents. Could if then use
as a target the United States what do we know then was there any action.

Used or or or fought against the US from that material. Well I think
the problem here for the prosecution -- you can't specifically cite
something that the enemy knew and they got from that. There were
massive as you as you said massive amounts of documents leaked
secret cables between the State Department.

And others overseas very candid conversations. Went with the Yemeni --
for instance talking about drone strikes in things that. The day and
administration does not talk about in public those kind of things were
exposed there was nothing...
