WikiLeaks denounced US military judge’s verdict against soldier Bradley Manning, saying it reflected ‘dangerous national security extremism from the Obama administration’. It also said in a reaction posted on Twitter that the conviction of Manning on several counts of espionage set a ‘very serious new precedent for supplying information to the press’.
It said: ‘Manning faces 136 years on the charges he has been convicted of Wednesday. Dangerous national security extremism from the Obama administration.’ In another tweet, it added: ‘Basic guide to honest reportage. Manning has not been found ‘guilty’, but he has been ‘convicted’ of supplying information to the press.’
