The U.S. government
concluded its five-week case
against PFC Bradley Manning
the first week of July after
providing a surprising lack
of evidence that the Army
soldier had “aided the
enemy” by passing military
and diplomatic documents to
WikiLeaks. In response, <b>Bradley’s
defense filed four motions
to direct a verdict of not
guilty on most of the
greater offenses he’s
charged with</b>,
including “aiding the
enemy,” violating the
Computer Fraud and Abuse
Act, and stealing government
property.</p>
<p>All four motions are filed
under Rule for Court Martial
917 (d), which says a
not-guilty verdict shall be
granted in the “absence of
some evidence which,
together with all reasonable
inferences and applicable
presumptions, could
reasonably tend to establish
every essential element of
an offense charged.” <b>Each
motion carefully lays out
the ways in which the
government’s own witnesses
failed to confirm the
prosecution’s arguments
set forth in opening
arguments.</b></p>

<h2 style="text-align:

with star witness</h2>
<p>
On the final day of Bradley
Manning’s defense’s case,
Harvard Law Professor and
renowned scholar Yochai
Benkler testified about how
the Internet has transformed
journalism’s function in a
democracy and why WikiLeaks
should be considered a
legitimate news organization
that is devoted to exposing
corruption. He testified
that since its inception
WikiLeaks has played a
critical role in
investigative journalism and
that the leak of the Iraq
and Afghan war logs revealed
large disparities between
civilian casulaties reported
by the government those
reported from the released
documents.</p>
<p><b>Benkler was extremely
critical of the unlawful
pretrial abuse Bradley
Manning endured</b> and
said that such abuse was
meant to strike fear into
future whistleblowers, and
that it threatened
investigative journalism as
a whole. Further, the
charges gainst Manning, if
found guilty, would set a
dangerous precedent whereby
any news organization or
journalist covering
government corruption could
be charged with 'aiding the
enemy'. Earlier in the week
former chief prosecutor at
Guantanamo Col. Morris Davis
testified that <b>the
released Guantanamo
Detainee Assessments were
not a threat to national
security</b> and that they
revealed much less than
other documents that had
already been published by
the Pentagon.
