NBC: U.S. can't link accused Army private to Assange
NBC News ^ | 1/24/2011 | Jim Miklaszewski

U.S. military officials tell NBC News that investigators have been unable to make any direct connection between a jailed army private suspected with leaking secret documents and Julian Assange, founder of the whistleblowing website WikiLeaks.

The officials say that while investigators have determined that Manning had allegedly unlawfully downloaded tens of thousands of documents onto his own computer and passed them to an unauthorized person, there is apparently no evidence he passed the files directly to Assange, or had any direct contact with the controversial WikiLeaks figure.

Hey NBC there is a direct connection to Manning and his homosexual agenda though.
Why not report why Manning did it?

Nah course not as it hurts your don’t ask pro queer agenda.

This Private still broke laws, though, so he’ll stay locked up.

Step 1. Send out an announcement to the inmates in Leavenworth that a U.S. traitor is being released into general population. Step 2. Sell tickets on pay-per-view to watch the latest version of ‘True Survivor: the real game” Step 3. Release the little jackwagon into the general population at Leavenworth. Step 4. Have the trustees sweep up what is left after the attack is over. Step 5. Apply the earnings toward the mounting National Debt.

>> Manning had allegedly unlawfully downloaded tens of thousands of documents onto his own computer and passed them to an unauthorized person, there is apparently no evidence he passed the files directly to Assange, or had any direct contact with the controversial WikiLeaks figure.

Fortunately for prosecutors ... any “unauthorized person” will suffice. Specific proof of Assange’s involvement is not required.

If this is the leak that Wikileaks published, and we just can’t prove the connection ... who cares? Convict, incarcerate, execute. If there is another leak to Assange, this guy still needs to be prosecuted and executed ... and we need to find the other leak.

I find it interesting that someone from the Admin claims they can’t find a link. THAT BS stinks to high hills.
