United States vs. Manning

2010-01-01

In early to mid-January of 2010, Bradley Manning testifies that he begins searching the NetCentric Diplomacy database for information on Iceland. He becomes interested in Iceland due to the IRC conversations he viewed in the WikiLeaks channel discussing an issue called Icesave. At this time he was not very familiar with the topic. He decides to investigate and conduct a few searches on Iceland and find out more. At the time, he did not find anything discussing the Icesave issue either directly or indirectly. He then conducted an open source search for Icesave. He then learned that Iceland was involved in a dispute with the United Kingdom and the Netherlands concerning the financial collapse of one or more of Iceland's banks. According to open source reporting much of the public controversy involved the United Kingdom's use of anti-terrorism legislation against Iceland in order to freeze Icelandic access assets for payment of the guarantees for UK depositors that lost money.

In response to one of Bradley Manning's searches for Wikileaks on NIPRNet and SIPRNet in December 2009, he finds the United States Army Counter Intelligence Center or USACIC report on the WikiLeaks organization. After reviewing the report, he believes that this report was possibly the one that my AIT referenced in early 2008. He testifies later that may or may not have saved the report on his D6-A workstation. Manning says that he knows he reviewed the document on other occasions throughout early 2010, and saved it on both his primary and secondary laptops. After reviewing the report, he continued doing research on WikiLeaks. However, based upon his open-source collection, he discovered information that contradicted the 2008 USACIC report including information that indicated that similar to other press agencies, Wikileaks seemed to be dedicated to exposing illegal activities and corruption.

Tyler really didn't really have a specific answer for Manning. Watkins tried to answer the questions and be supportive, but seemed confused by the question in this and its context. Manning then tried to be more specific, but Watkins asked too many questions. Rather than try to explain his dilemma, Manning decides to just to drop the conversation. After a few days in Waltham, MA, Manning began to feel really that he was over staying my welcome, and he returned to Maryland. [EXACT DATE UNKNOWN]

At his aunt's house Bradley Manning joins in on an IRC conversation and states that he has information that needed to be shared with the world. He writes wrote that the information would help document the true cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. One of the individuals in the IRC asked me to describe the information. However, before he could describe the information another individual pointed him to the link for the website's online submission system. After ending my IRC connection,he considered my options one more time. Ultimately, I felt that the right thing to do was to release the SigActs. [EXACT DATE UNKNOWN]
