United States vs. Manning

2010-08-10

		QUESTION: On WikiLeaks, can you talk about reports that you're pressuring Britain and other allies to launch their own criminal investigations about WikiLeak and to block the site? We had talked about this a little bit over a week ago, but there are more reports surfacing that you're putting pressure on allies to do something about that. MR. CROWLEY: Yeah. Let me take that question. I'm not aware of any specific conversations that we've had with some of the countries mentioned. Obviously, there's something that's cropped up in different conversations that we've had; citing one, in the Secretary's call last week with President Karzai, they did talk about WikiLeaks and she asked the president what his perspective on it was. So I'll take the question as to whether we've had conversations along those lines and are encouraging others to consider their own potential prosecutions.
