Bradley Manning Offers Partial Guilty Plea To Military Court

Posted by timothy on from the ok-but-you-had-it-coming dept.

concealment writes "During a pre-trial hearing in military court today, [alleged Wikileaks source Bradley] Manning's attorney, David Coombs, proposed a partial guilty plea covering a subset of the slew of criminal charges that the U.S. Army has lodged against him. "Manning is attempting to accept responsibility for offenses that are encapsulated within, or are a subset of, the charged offenses," Coombs wrote on his blog this evening. "The court will consider whether this is a permissible plea.""

    You can never know everything, and part of what you do know will always be wrong. Perhaps even the most important part.

    This was covered before, and you were proven wrong then too.
    Espionage is an internationally recognized crime.
    His citizenship is irrelevant.

    Which is why during the cold war the USA and USSR regularly approved extradition of their respective spies.
