Wikileaks Retains Legal Defense for Detained Servicemember

The website Wikileaks.org has announced it’s retained a legal team to assist a US servicemember who may have leaked video of a US military helicopter gunship’s indiscriminate killings of Iraqi civilians. Army Specialist Bradley Manning was recently detained in Iraq after an acquaintance claimed that Manning had taken responsibility for sending Wikileaks the video along with thousands of classified US government records. Wikileaks founder Julian Assange also says his group plans to release documents related to another deadly US attack on Afghan civilians as early as this week, followed by video of the incident later in the summer.

2. This is Great News. There were no secrets on that video that

threaten our national security. It's just an embarrassment, that's all. I'll donate to Wikileaks for this, I hope others will too.
