Investigators have found concrete evidence on computers
used by Pfc. Bradley Manning that link him with the leak
of classified Afghanistan war reports, a U.S. defense official said.
The disclosure came as Defense Secretary Robert Gates
pledged Thursday to "aggressively investigate the leak"
and find ways to prevent further breaches, and told
reporters that he had invited the Federal Bureau of
Investigation to assist the probe.
Defense officials said the FBI was investigating whether
civilians aided Pfc. Manning in providing the
information to WikiLeaks, a Web-based group that this
week released 76,000 secret reports from Afghanistan.
Pfc. Manning already was charged by the military in July
with illegally taking secret State Department files and
disseminating a classified video, which defense
officials said was the one released by WikiLeaks showing
a U.S. military helicopter firing on a group of people
in Baghdad. Two Reuters journalists and seven others
were killed in the 2007 incident.

Firing squad.
..and of course there was no forensic computer analysis done after his INITIAL video leak which would’ve come to this conclusion MONTHS AGO? WTF?
Umm, how 'bout hanging the prick!
How does a Pfc get that kind of security clearance in the first place?
I hope he admits to being a Liberal Democrat who voted for Obama.
You little pr@ck, may you burn in hell. No, scratch that...may you realize what you have done and live with it everyday for a long...long....time.
Why don't all these liberal pr@@ks move to N. Korea or
Cuba if they don't like it here.
Yep
Somebody had to have given it to him, and that means someone else is pulling the strings. That was the first thing that crossed my mind. Backing it up is the second point, that the data covers a much longer period than this Pfc has been in the Military, or has been stationed in Afghanistan.
I’ll accept the detail..........gladly!
He’s already on suicide watch. I say give him a .45 with a single round and grant him this one opportunity at dignity for wearing the uniform...
I think your are right.
There had to be outside accomplices at work here.
On second thought, that'll work for me too..
How could a Pfc. possibly have access to this kind of information?
I agree, but find it even more difficult believing a busted PFC (nee SP4) has, or had, access to so much intel and what I think should be “need to know” and compartmentalized intel. Something really smells here. Was he recruited and turned when he moved to Maryland just before he entered the service?
He and ALL of his co-conspirators must be tried and hanged for Treason.
See what he thinks about his self-righteous BS then.
I don’t believe he did it. Set up. Most people here have no clue what is going on in the USA, military, Iraq and Afghanistan since Nov 2008. They live in there TV dreamworld. Most people here have no clue who the Muslim Brotherhood is and what they do.
Well let’s see. Muslim mass murders 13 soldiers on an american army base and it is quickly swept under the rug.
They find some young white kid to pin this on. Yeah sure. Believe it if you want and be suckers.
