FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The order by Judge Denise Lind came on Monday after Manning’s defense lawyers accused the government prosecutors of withholding evidence and information which could help their client’s case.
The ruling is seen as a victory for Bradley Manning’s defense team, which claimed prosecutors have shirked their duty to share evidence including written assessments by various government agencies of the damage done by WikiLeaks’ online publication of hundreds of thousands of diplomatic cables and war logs.
According to the ruling, prosecutors must provide “damage assessment” reports from the CIA, the FBI, the State Department and the Office of the National Counterintelligence Executive for the defense.
Insisting that the disclosures did not “aid the enemy” as the government claims, Manning’s lawyers say the assessments will reveal the leaks have done little harm to the country’s national security.
Manning, 24, was arrested in May 2010 for allegedly giving hundreds of thousands of military field reports from Iraq and Afghanistan and US diplomatic cables to WikiLeaks website.
He is faced with 22 counts of brush with the law, including “aiding the enemy and violating the Espionage Act.”
The leaks of the military documents shed light on untold civilian killings, while the diplomatic cables sparked a firestorm by disclosing the private remarks of heads of state and candid observations by senior US officials.
