Chelsea Manning has been subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury in the investigation of Julian Assange, officials said, one of several indicators that prosecutors remain interested in WikiLeaks’ publication of diplomatic cables and military war logs in 2010. …(snip)

No pictures, PLEASE!
Barf. How can the jury stand to be in the same building as that thing.
