JUDGEMENT DAY
Bradley Manning, the Army intelligence analyst who gave hundreds
of thousands of classified government documents to WikiLeaks, was
convicted of 19 out of 21 charges on Tuesday. But Army judge Col. Denise
Lind found him not guilty of the most serious charge against him, aiding
the enemy. Prosecutors had tried to argue that Manning knew his leak
would end up in the hands of al Qaeda, and many press freedom advocates
had said that convicting him of aiding the enemy would threaten to
criminalize journalists. The 25-year-old from Crescent, Okla., faces up to
more than 100 years in prison.
