WikiLeaks Gives $15k To Bradley Manning Defense

wiredmikey writes "The Web site supporting Bradley Manning, the Army soldier charged with leaking a massive number of US classified information to WikiLeaks, posted an announcement on its site today, saying that WikiLeaks had transferred $15,100 to the legal trust account of Manning's attorney. WikiLeaks has been publicly soliciting donations specifically for the expenses of Manning's legal defense following his arrest in May 2010. The contribution by WikiLeaks brings the total funds raised and transferred to Bradley's civilian legal defense team, led by attorney David Coombs, to over $100,000. Supporters say that a 'vigorous defense' for Manning is estimated to cost $115,000."

im not american, but what manning exposed has put forth that the plague corrupting america is directly affecting me and my loved ones' lives from oceans away, to an extent i couldnt ever have imagined.

i see manning as someone who exposed some real, real shit. im not even going to go into the fact that he has helped americans to discover that their government was betraying their trust, their funds and their rights.
