The U.S. military is bringing criminal charges against Army Specialist Bradley Manning, the intel analyst who claimed he gave classified combat videos and State Department records to Wikileaks.org. Wired magazine says Manning was arrested in May, and was being held in Kuwait without formal charges. They also say that Manning confessed to the leak in a series of online chats with a former computer hacker. Politico’s writing, “Manning, a 22-year-old from Potomac, Md., is suspected of leaking a classified 2007 video of an Apache helicopter strike that killed 12 civilians in Baghdad, including two Reuters journalists.”
