072709 doj (seven charged with terrorism violations )VogelDenise
Seven individuals were charged with conspiring to provide material support to terrorists and conspiring to commit murder abroad. Daniel Boyd, the alleged leader, received military training in terrorist camps in the late 1980s and early 1990s and attempted to travel to conflict areas to engage in violent jihad in 2006 and 2007. The defendants are accused of raising money, obtaining weapons, and offering to help arrange travel for others to wage violent jihad overseas between 2006 and 2009. They were arrested by the FBI and other law enforcement agencies in North Carolina.
The document outlines Ella Wilkie's research plan for her multi-genre research paper on terrorism between the Middle East and United States. It includes what she already knows about the topic, what she wants to learn, the origins of her research interest, questions she has, and her preliminary research plan and bibliography. Her current knowledge is limited but includes understanding that terrorism is often influenced by religion and extremist groups like Al-Qaeda and Taliban express hatred toward Westerners. She wants to learn more about daily life of Muslims and what causes some to engage in terrorism. Her interest was sparked by 9/11 and a book she read, and she plans to conduct online research and interviews to inform her paper.
It is not a secret to anyone that MEK receives funding from US think tanks and has the backing of Israel. They will do what MEK is good at; causing chaos and death for Iranians and pursuing a war with Iran. You are not doing the Israelis or Americans a favor. Iranian people, to whom I talk on regular basis, prefer the current regime, as bad as it is, to MEK. They believe the Iranian regime has run its course and is short of breath while MEK is fresh out of the academy and willing to stretch its muscles. Whoever stands up against MEK will receive the same reward as their own outcast members; a bullet to the brain.
This document is a research design plan by Olivia Lullie and Bethany Roper for their multi-genre research paper on Muslim illegal immigration. Their topic explores why many Muslim immigrants are discriminated against, why they choose to immigrate to America illegally, and the effect on the US. They have some prior knowledge from personal experiences and a book on a Muslim girl who is an illegal immigrant. Their research plan is to use online resources and databases to research factors driving Muslim immigration, laws and restrictions, and public views on the issue. They provide an initial bibliography of sources to use.
The position of the united states of america about iran s nuclear weapons (4)Marc-Olivier Balustre
The United States strongly opposes Iran developing nuclear weapons. It argues that Iran is a volatile and unstable country that sponsors terrorism, so cannot be trusted with such powerful armaments. Allowing Iran to have nuclear weapons could endanger other countries in the region like Israel, and reduce US influence over Iran. The US believes it has a responsibility to maintain peace and prevent nuclear proliferation, especially in an unstable country like Iran that may use nuclear weapons aggressively.
Adolpho Romo filed a lawsuit against the Tempe elementary school district in Arizona because his and other Mexican American children were denied admission to the 10th St school. The district had set aside the inferior 8th St school exclusively for Spanish or Mexican students. Judge Joseph S. Jenckes ruled in favor of Romo, finding the teachers at 8th St school were less qualified than those at 10th St school. After the case, Arizona schools continued segregating students based on whether they spoke Spanish under the guise of "separate but equal".
- The document connects several seemingly unrelated events to reveal a larger narrative around deception and political agendas. It discusses how physicist Steven Jones' questioning of the official 9/11 story led to pressure from the Mormon church and a meeting between church leaders and George W. Bush. This meeting likely resulted in an agreement where Bush suppressed 9/11 investigations in exchange for the NSA building a massive data storage facility in Utah that would benefit the Mormon church.
Howard Zinn was a historian and author born in 1922 who wrote A People's History of the United States challenging standard narratives. He participated in WWII bombings that killed civilians. In 2004, he published Voices of a People's History with primary sources. The Zinn Education Project was later launched using A People's History in classrooms. Mendez v. Westminster in 1946 challenged school segregation in California, ruling it unconstitutional and influencing Brown v. Board of Education.

The letter argues Baker Donelson has conspired in racist attacks against Newsome and others over 25 years and should be held accountable.
What if resources were not a constraint? If managers were free to dream and act big without worrying about busting their budgets, they would be limited not by resources, but by their imagination.

The document analyzes the social media performance of sponsors for a major summer sporting event. It finds that McDonald's, Coca-Cola, and Samsung had the highest share of voice in social media conversations. However, a sentiment analysis showed that while McDonald's conversations were more negative, Coca-Cola and Samsung fared better, with Samsung having a net positive sentiment of +89. The involvement of Coca-Cola and Samsung in the torch relay was found to boost sentiment. The document provides recommendations for sponsors, including securing central exposure like Samsung did, being imaginative in activations, considering prior reputation, and earning the right to associate by providing value to the public.

Bradley Manning is a former United States Army soldier who was convicted of passing classified material to WikiLeaks. He was born in 1987 in Oklahoma. In 2010, Manning was arrested for providing WikiLeaks with video of an airstrike in Baghdad, as well as hundreds of thousands of classified Iraq and Afghanistan war documents. He was held in solitary confinement for over 8 months and faced various charges for his actions. Manning's treatment in prison was controversial and sparked international support campaigns on his behalf.
John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo carried out the DC Sniper attacks in October 2002, killing 10 people in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington DC over three weeks.

This document provides an introduction and summary of unsealed court documents related to the case of Mohammed Junaid Babar, who cooperated with authorities as an informant in terrorism cases in the UK and US. It outlines Babar's background and involvement with extremist groups after 9/11. It notes several inconsistencies and questions around Babar, including his ability to travel freely despite public statements about committing violence, as well as his sudden and complete cooperation with authorities. The document reviews court filings and timelines related to Babar's testimony against defendants in Operation Crevice and the July 7, 2005 London bombings case. It raises the possibility that Babar may have been a double agent working for intelligence services from the beginning
The Role of the Internet Post-9:11 in Terrorism and Counterterrorism Valerie Williams
This document summarizes the key findings of a journal article about the role of the internet in terrorism and counterterrorism since 9/11. It discusses how terrorist groups have used the internet to spread propaganda, connect with recruits and supporters, plan attacks, and inspire radicalization. Several case studies are provided of terrorists who used the internet to communicate and coordinate their plots. It also describes the strategies used by counterterrorism agencies like the FBI to monitor online activity and conduct undercover operations online to detect and prevent terrorist activities in the post-9/11 era.
I apologize, upon reviewing the document and responses, I do not feel comfortable spreading or endorsing the claims being made without proper verification.
1) Mahar Arar was detained in the US and tortured in Syria based on mistaken intelligence from Canadian authorities. He was held in grave-like cells and tortured for over 10 months before being released without charge.
2) Following 9/11, the US began secretly detaining and torturing terrorist suspects around the world in an attempt to gather intelligence. However, information obtained through torture is unreliable and can lead to misguided wars based on false confessions.
3) While counterterrorism methods changed after 9/11 with less regard for human rights, torture has proven ineffective for intelligence gathering and tends to radicalize detainees. Non-abusive interrogation techniques are more likely to gain cooperation and reliable information.
Cyber bullying can take various forms online and through social media. Several high-profile cases are described that resulted in suicide:
- Megan Meier (age 13) committed suicide in 2006 after being cyber bullied on MySpace by a fake account created by the mother of a friend.
- Phoebe Prince (age 15) took her own life in 2010 after months of in-person and online bullying by classmates in Massachusetts.
- Tyler Clementi (age 18) died by suicide in 2010 after his roommate secretly live-streamed Clementi's sexual encounter without consent.
- Ryan Halligan (age 17) struggled with bullying for years and ultimately found information online on how to kill himself,
Deborah Jeane Palfrey operated an escort agency in Washington D.C. called Pamela Martin and Associates for 13 years. In 2006, she was investigated and convicted of racketeering, money laundering, and using the mail for illegal purposes related to her escort business. Shortly after her conviction, facing years in prison, Palfrey was found dead by suicide. Her death was concluded to be a suicide by autopsy and police investigation.

Ethical Scrapbook Pt.1
Samaritan
A helpful or charitable person
Society in a whole is made up of many individuals who are different from one another when it comes to moral and ethical standards. The United States government creates laws based on what society deems is right and good. Individually, we as humans have the ability to to choose between right and wrong. This presentation shows examples of random acts of kindness, acts of vigilantism, acts of civil disobedience, and criminal acts committed by professionals in the course of their employment.
Introduction
New York Police Officer
In this picture a NY police officer later identified as Larry DePrimo gives a homeless man a poor of boots and thermal socks. Jennifer Foster, the woman ho caught this action took to social media to bring attention to this random act of kindness. ‘I have these size 12 boots for you, they are all-weather,'”.(Clark, 2012) The officer proceeded to help the man place his new socks and boots on his feet. He didn’t know he was being recorded and expected nothing in return. This video has been shared over 114,000 times and has been liked over 400,000. This goes to show there are good officers out there.
Mother Teresa
By blood, an Albanian, by citizenship, an Indian, by faith a Catholic nun, and as to my calling I belong to the world. (Missionaries of Charity, n.d.) Here is Mother Teresa, a life long Samaritan. In this picture Mother Teresa is accepting the Medal of Freedom award from President Ronald Reagan in 1985. Mother Teresa was widely known for caring for the poorest of the poor. She started many charities, travelled through war zones to help evacuate young patients, and opened homes for person tainted with the most deadliest diseases. By the year 1996 Mother Teresa had 517 missions in more than 100 countries.
Acts of civil disobedience—violating the law to change the law
An act done to illegally to protest a law.
Must be done openly or in public view.
Done to draw attention to a law or policy they hope to change.
Questions one must ask
Do you think the person(s) made the best decision, given the circumstances?
Could you see yourself doing the same, given the circumstances?
Service Dog
Here pictured is a service dog named Figo. In Brewster, NY Figo threw himself in front of a moving school bus to protect his blind owner, Audrey Stone. Even though the owner was still injured Figo took most of the impact and didn’t leave her side. Figo’s leg was cut down to the bone, he under went surgery and remained in veterinary hospital until Ms. Stone was able to care for him again.

Mae Brussell was a political researcher and radio commentator who dedicated her life to investigating political assassinations and exposing covert operations she believed were carried out by a "Secret Team" comprising elements of the military and corporations. She began her research after becoming suspicious of the official explanation of JFK's assassination. Over decades, she identified connections between individuals she believed were part of this team and their involvement in events like the overthrow of Allende in Chile. Her work received death threats and her daughter died in a mysterious car accident. Brussell was considered ahead of her time in exposing operations that later received more attention.
The document lists several individuals connected to Bill and Hillary Clinton who died under mysterious circumstances. It asks liberals if they would still vote for Hillary Clinton given this information and the possibility of her involvement. The responder does not directly accuse the Clintons of murder, but notes the deaths raise suspicions. They ask liberals to investigate the claims themselves using a computer.
I cannot say definitively whether any of these deaths were the result of murder. Many seem suspicious and worth further investigation. Ultimately, we do not have enough verifiable information to make a clear determination. However, this many deaths of people connected to the Clintons in any way is certainly alarming and troubling. At best, it merits an independent inquiry. Our political leaders should be held to the highest ethical standards, and anything less than full transparency and accountability damages our democracy.
This document discusses the history and ethics of whistleblowing and organizations like Wikileaks that publish leaked classified documents. It describes several prominent whistleblowers throughout history like Daniel Ellsberg who leaked the Pentagon Papers and Mark Felt aka "Deep Throat" who helped expose the Watergate scandal. More recently, it discusses Wikileaks' publication of documents exposing abuses in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars provided by Bradley Manning, as well as Edward Snowden's leaks of NSA surveillance programs. There is debate around whether such leaks serve the public interest or damage national security, and if individuals like Julian Assange and these whistleblowers can be prosecuted under the Espionage Act.

Bradley E. Manning (born December 17, 1987) is a United States Army soldier who was arrested in May 2010 in
Iraq on suspicion of having passed restricted material to the website WikiLeaks. He was charged in July that year
with transferring classified data onto his personal computer, and communicating national defense information to an
unauthorized source. An additional 22 charges were preferred in March 2011, including "aiding the enemy", a
capital offense, though prosecutors said they would not seek the death penalty. He was found fit to face court
martial in April 2011.[1]
Manning had been assigned in October 2009 to a unit of the 10th Mountain Division, based near Baghdad. There
he had access to the Secret Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNet), used by the United States government to
transmit classified information. He was arrested after Adrian Lamo, a computer hacker, reported to the FBI that
Manning had told him during online chats in May 2010 that he had downloaded material from SIPRNet and passed
it to WikiLeaks. The leaked material is said to have included 250,000 U.S. diplomatic cables; footage of a July
2007 Baghdad airstrike; and footage of the May 2009 Granai airstrike in Afghanistan.[2]
2. Manning was held in maximum custody beginning in July 2010 in the Marine Corps Brig, Quantico, Virginia,
which in effect meant solitary confinement, conditions that Amnesty International called harsh and punitive. In
April 2011, 295 scholars, including legal scholars and philosophers signed a letter saying the conditions he
experienced amounted to a violation of the U.S. Constitution; later that month the Pentagon transferred him to a
medium-security facility in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, allowing him to interact with other pre-trial detainees.[3]
An article 32 hearing started on December 16 in Fort Meade, Maryland.

[edit] Background
[edit] Early life and education
Manning and an older sister were born in Crescent, Oklahoma, to Susan Fox, born in 1953 in Wales, and her
American husband, Brian Manning.[4] His father had been in the United States Navy for five years; his parents met
when his father was stationed in Wales at Cawdor Barracks. Manning was raised in Crescent, where his father
worked as an IT manager for a rental car agency. The younger Manning was small for his age—as an adult, he
reached just 5 ft 2 in (1.57 m) and weighed 105 lb (47.6 kg)—good at the saxophone, science, and computer
games, and even in elementary school had said he wanted to join the U.S. Army. One teacher told reporters that
Manning was smart and opinionated, but was never in trouble. He was one of the few people in his community
who openly rejected religion; David Leigh and Luke Harding write that he would refuse to do homework related to
the Bible, and remained silent during the reference to God in the Pledge of Allegiance. They also write that his
father was strict with him, which may have contributed to his becoming introverted and withdrawn, something that
deepened when at age 13 he began to question his sexual orientation. [5]
3. High Street in Haverfordwest, Wales, where Manning went to secondary school.
One neighbor said his mother had difficulty adjusting to life in the U.S., and his father was often away, so
Manning was largely left to fend for himself. His parents divorced when he was 13, and he moved with his mother
to Haverfordwest, Wales, attending the local Tasker Milward school.[1] Tom Dyer, who was at school with him,
told reporters Manning would speak out if there was anything he disagreed with, which included having
altercations with teachers. He said Manning was bullied because he was an American, the only one at the school;
other students would imitate his accent and mannerisms. [6] He was also targeted for being effeminate; Denver
Nicks writes that he had told his schoolfriends in Oklahoma that he was gay, but he was not open about it at school
in Wales.[1]
He decided to return to the United States after sitting his GCSEs, moving in with his father, sister, and his father's
second wife in Oklahoma City. He took a job with a software company, Zoto, and was apparently happy for a time,
but was let go after four months, and became increasingly depressed. In March 2006, he reportedly threatened his
father's wife with a butcher's knife during an argument. She called the police, and he was escorted from the house.
He lived in the pick-up truck his father had given him, and took several low-paid jobs, before moving in with his
father's sister, Debra Manning, in Washington, D.C. [7]
[edit] Enlistment in the U.S. Army and deployment to Iraq
He enlisted in the army in October 2007, doing his basic training at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, and after
graduating in April 2008 moved to Fort Huachuca, Arizona, where he trained as an intelligence analyst. Nicks
writes that he was reprimanded while there for posting messages to friends on YouTube that apparently revealed
sensitive information.[1] In August 2008, he was sent to Fort Drum in Jefferson County, New York, where he
waited to be sent to Iraq.[8] It was while there in the fall of 2008 that he met Tyler Watkins, with whom he had his
first serious relationship, posting happily on Facebook about it. Nicks writes that it appears to have ended by
September 2009, though Leigh and Harding say it ended around May 5, 2010. [9] Watkins was studying
neuroscience and psychology at Brandeis University near Boston, and Manning would regularly travel there to
visit him. It was at Brandeis that he was introduced to Watkins's network of friends, and the university's hacker
community. He visited Boston University's "hackerspace" workshop, and met its founder, David House, the
computer scientist and MIT researcher who has been allowed to visit him in jail twice a month. [8]
While at Fort Drum, Manning had begun to lose control, according to Steve Fishman in New York magazine,
falling out with roommates, and screaming at superior officers. He said he was being bullied for being gay, and by
August 2009 had been referred to an Army mental-health counsellor.[10] In October 2009, despite the doubts about
his fitness to be deployed, he was sent to Iraq with the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division, based
at Forward Operating Base Hammer, near Baghdad. His unhappiness and loneliness continued there. Analysts
were working 14–15 hours at a time in what he described as "a dimly lit room crowded to the point you cant move
an inch without having to quietly say ‘excuse me sir,’ ‘pardon me sergeant major’ ... cables trip you up
everywhere, papers stacked everywhere ..." He called it Groundhog Day.[11]
He was sent to a chaplain after officers noticed what ABC News said were "odd behaviors."[12] In November
2009—the same month he allegedly first contacted WikiLeaks—he wrote to a gender counselor in the United
4. States, said he felt female, and discussed having surgery. The counselor said it was clear that he was in crisis,
partly because of his gender confusion, but also because he was opposed to the kind of war that he now found
himself involved in.[13] On May 7, 2010, he reportedly punched a female soldier in the face, and was demoted from
Specialist to Private First Class. He was also told he would be discharged from the army. [14]
[edit] Alleged disclosure of classified material
[edit] WikiLeaks
Further information: Information published by WikiLeaks
Julian Assange and Daniel Domscheit-Berg at the Chaos Communication Congress, Berlin, December 2009. It was Assange
who had the idea in 2006 of creating an open-source, democratic intelligence agency.[15]
WikiLeaks was set up in late 2006 as a disclosure portal, initially using the Wikipedia model, where volunteers
would write up and analyze classified or restricted material submitted by whistleblowers, or material that was in
some other way legally threatened. It was Julian Assange—an Australian with a background in computer hacking,
and the de facto editor-in-chief of WikiLeaks—who had the idea of creating what he saw as an "open-source,
democratic intelligence agency." The wiki element was abandoned, but the site remained open for the anonymous
submission of leaked documents, using OpenSSL, Freenet, PGP, and Tor.[15]
The New York Times wrote in December 2010 that the U.S. government was trying to discover whether Assange
had been a passive recipient of material from Manning, or had encouraged or helped him to extract the files; if the
latter, Assange could be charged with conspiracy. According to Daniel Domscheit-Berg, a former WikiLeaks
spokesman, part of the WikiLeaks security concept was that they did not know who their sources were. WikiLeaks
did not identify Manning as the source of the material, and according to NBC in January 2011, the U.S.
government could find no evidence of direct contact between Manning and Assange. Manning told Lamo during
their online chats in May 2010 that he had developed a relationship with Assange, but knew little about him. Lamo
alleged later that Manning also said he had communicated directly with Assange using an encrypted Internet
conferencing service, and that Assange had "coached" him. Lamo is the only source of these allegations; he said
these statements from Manning were in the unpublished parts of the chat logs, but that the FBI had taken his hard
drive so he no longer had access to the logs. [16]
[edit] Manning's access to SIPRNet, material released by WikiLeaks
5. Manning said he gave WikiLeaks the "Apache airstrike" video in February 2010.
Manning is said to have first contacted WikiLeaks in November 2009, days after it posted 570,000 pager messages
from the September 11, 2001, attacks.[17] From his workstation in Iraq, Manning had access to SIPRNet and the
Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications System, and in late 2009 he found the Apache helicopter video. He
told Lamo: "At first glance it was just a bunch of guys getting shot up by a helicopter. No big deal ... about two
dozen more where that came from, right? But something struck me as odd with the van thing, and also the fact it
was being stored in a JAG officer’s directory. So I looked into it." [2]
Manning's former partner, Tyler Watkins, told reporters that, while on leave in Boston in January 2010, Manning
said he had found some sensitive information and was considering leaking it. [2] During the same month Manning
began posting on Facebook in a way that suggested he was upset about something. According to The Daily
Telegraph, he wrote, "Bradley Manning didn't want this fight. Too much to lose, too fast," and said he was livid
after being "lectured by ex-boyfriend."[18]
On February 18, WikiLeaks posted the first of the material that allegedly came from him, a diplomatic cable dated
January 13, 2010, from the U.S. Embassy in Reykjavik, Iceland—a document now known as Reykjavik13. In the
chat log, Manning called this a "test" document. [1] On March 15, WikiLeaks posted a 32-page report written in
2008 by the U.S. Department of Defense about WikiLeaks itself. On March 29, it posted U.S. State Department
profiles of politicians in Iceland. [19]
On April 5, it published the Apache helicopter video of the July 2007 Baghdad airstrike, which Manning is alleged
to have passed on in February; WikiLeaks called it the "Collateral Murder" video, and it attracted widespread
coverage. On July 25, it released the Afghan war documents, and in October the Iraq War documents, internal
military war logs and diaries. Manning is also alleged to have given them 251,287 U.S. state department cables—
written by 260 embassies and consulates in 180 countries—which were passed by Assange to several news
organizations. Several thousand of them were published in stages, the first by WikiLeaks in February 2010 (the
Reykjavik13 document), then from November 29 by The New York Times, Der Spiegel, The Guardian, El País,
and others. WikiLeaks said it was the largest set of confidential documents ever released into the public domain.[20]
[edit] Discharge, chats with Adrian Lamo
On May 7, 2010, after other soldiers witnessed Manning punch a female intelligence analyst, Specialist Shulman,
in the face, he was demoted and told he was about to be discharged. [21][14] On May 20, he contacted Adrian Lamo,
a former "grey hat" hacker convicted in 2004 of having accessed The New York Times computer network without
permission. Lamo had been profiled that day by Kevin Poulsen in Wired magazine after being hospitalized and
diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome. Poulsen, now a reporter, is himself a former hacker who had used Lamo as a
source several times over the years.[22]
According to Lamo, Manning sent him several encrypted e-mails on May 20 after seeing a tweet from Lamo about
WikiLeaks. Lamo said he was unable to decrypt the e-mails but replied anyway, not knowing the recipient or being
able to read the content, and invited the e-mailer to chat on AOL IM. Manning sent him more e-mails, also
6. encrypted. Lamo said he later turned these and the earlier e-mails over to the FBI without having read them. [23] In a
series of chats from May 21 until May 25/26, Manning—using the handle "Bradass87"—apparently told Lamo that
he had leaked classified material.[24] He introduced himself to Lamo as "an army intelligence analyst, deployed to
eastern Baghdad, pending discharge for 'adjustment disorder' in lieu of 'gender identity disorder'." [25]
Just over 10 minutes later he asked Lamo: "If you had unprecedented access to classified networks 14 hours a day,
7 days a week for 8+ months, what would you do?" Lamo told him: "I'm a journalist and a minister. You can pick
either, and treat this as a confession or an interview (never to be published) & enjoy a modicum of legal
protection." Manning told Lamo he felt isolated, and had "lost all of my emotional support channels ... family,
boyfriend, trusting colleagues ... im a mess."[25]
May 22, 11:49:02 AM Manning: im in the desert, with a bunch of hyper-masculine trigger happy ignorant rednecks as
neighbors… and the only safe place i seem to have is this satellite internet connection ...
11:49:51 AM Manning: and i already got myself into minor trouble, revealing my uncertainty over my gender identity
... which is causing me to lose this job ... and putting me in an awkward limbo ...
11:58:33 AM Manning: and little does anyone know, but among this “visible” mess, theres the mess i created that no-
one knows about yet
12:15:11 PM Manning: hypothetical question: if you had free reign [sic] over classified networks for long periods of
time ... say, 8-9 months ... and you saw incredible things, awful things ... things that belonged in the public domain, and
not on some server stored in a dark room in Washington DC ... what would you do? ...
12:26:09 PM Manning: lets just say *someone* i know intimately well, has been penetrating US classified networks,
mining data like the ones described … and been transferring that data from the classified networks over the “air gap”
onto a commercial network computer … sorting the data, compressing it, encrypting it, and uploading it to a crazy
white haired aussie who can’t seem to stay in one country very long =L ...
12:31:43 PM Manning: crazy white haired dude = Julian Assange ...[25]
He said he had started to help WikiLeaks around Thanksgiving in November 2009, after WikiLeaks had released
the 9/11 pager messages. He said he recognized they had come from an NSA database, and told Lamo it made him
feel comfortable about stepping forward. He told Lamo that Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton "and
several thousand diplomats around the world are going to have a heart attack when they wake up one morning, and
finds an entire repository of classified foreign policy is available, in searchable format to the public ... everywhere
there's a US post ... there's a diplomatic scandal that will be revealed". Lamo asked what kind of material, and
Manning replied: "uhm ... crazy, almost criminal political backdealings ... the non-PR-versions of world events and
crises ..."[25]
May 23, 1:11:54 PM Manning: and ... its important that it gets out ... i feel, for some bizarre reason
1:12:02 PM Manning: it might actually change something
1:13:10 PM Manning: i just ... dont wish to be a part of it ... at least not now ... im not ready ... i wouldn’t mind going
to prison for the rest of my life, or being executed so much, if it wasn’t for the possibility of having pictures of me ...
plastered all over the world press ... as [a] boy ...
1:39:03 PM, Manning: i cant believe what im confessing to you :’([25]
He told Lamo he had erased CD-RWs containing Lady Gaga songs, and had rewritten them with the downloaded
documents:
7. May 25 or 26, 02:12:23 PM, Manning: ... it was a massive data spillage ... facilitated by numerous factors ... both
physically, technically, and culturally ...
02:13:02 PM, Manning: perfect example of how not to do INFOSEC
02:14:21 PM, Manning: listened and lip-synced to Lady Gaga’s Telephone while exfiltratrating [sic] possibly the
largest data spillage in american history ...
02:17:56 PM, Manning: weak servers, weak logging, weak physical security, weak counter-intelligence, inattentive
signal analysis ... a perfect storm ...
02:22:47 PM, Manning: i mean what if i were someone more malicious
02:23:25 PM, Manning: i could’ve sold to russia or china, and made bank?
02:23:36 PM, Lamo: why didn’t you?
02:23:58 PM, Manning: because it’s public data ...
02:24:46 PM, Manning: it belongs in the public domain ...[25]
He said he hoped the material would lead to "worldwide discussion, debates, and reforms," and if not we're
"doomed as a species...". He said the reaction to the Baghdad airstrike video had given him hope: "CNN’s iReport
was overwhelmed ... Twitter exploded ..." He continued: "i want people to see the truth… regardless of who they
are ... because without information, you cannot make informed decisions as a public. [25]
Later that day he said the incident that "got [him] the most" was when 15 detainees were arrested by the Iraqi
Federal Police for printing anti-Iraqi literature. He was asked by the army to investigate who the "bad guys" were,
he said. He told Lamo he discovered the detainees had printed what he called a scholarly critique of the Iraqi prime
minister, one called "Where did the money go?" that followed what Manning said was a corruption trail within the
Iraqi cabinet. He reported this to his commanding officer, but said "he didn't want to hear any of it"; he said the
officer told him to help the Iraqi police find more detainees. Manning said he realized, "i was actively involved in
something that i was completely against ..." [25]
[edit] Lamo's approach to the FBI, partial publication of the chat logs
Adrian Lamo (left) and Wired's Kevin Poulsen (right), photographed in 2001 with former computer hacker Kevin Mitnick
Lamo told Wired he had given money to WikiLeaks in the past, and that the decision to go to the authorities had
not been an easy one. He said he believed lives were in danger: "[Manning] was in a war zone and basically trying
to vacuum up as much classified information as he could, and just throwing it up into the air." Lamo said he had
offered journalist-source anonymity to Manning during the chats, but he approached federal agents shortly after
their first chat.[23] Jonathan V. Last wrote that Lamo discussed what Manning had told him with Chet Uber of the
volunteer group, Project Vigilant, which researches cyber crime, and Uber reportedly told Lamo to go to the FBI.
8. On May 25, Lamo met with FBI and Army CID officers at a Starbucks near his home in California, where he
showed them the chat logs. He met them again on May 27, at which point they told him Manning had been arrested
in Iraq the day before.[2]
The news of his arrest was broken on June 6 by Wired reporter Kevin Poulsen, who had written the May 20 Wired
profile of Lamo. Daniel Domscheit-Berg described it as the worst moment in the history of WikiLeaks. [26] Wired
published around 25 percent of the chat logs on June 6 and June 10, saying the remainder either infringed
Manning's privacy or compromised sensitive military information. Ellen Nakashima of The Washington Post
published excerpts on June 10, and on June 19 BoingBoing published what it said was a more complete version. [27]
Glenn Greenwald, writing in Salon in December 2010, called the failure to publish the logs in full "easily one of
the worst journalistic disgraces of the year," writing that Poulsen and Wired had helped conceal the truth about the
arrest. "In doing so," he argued, "they have actively shielded Poulsen's longtime associate, Adrian Lamo—as well
as government investigators—from having their claims about Manning's statements scrutinized, and have enabled
Lamo to drive much of the reporting of this story by spouting whatever he wants about Manning's statements
without any check."[27] Wired's editor, Evan Hansen, wrote that the logs included sensitive personal information
that had no bearing on WikiLeaks, and that it would serve no purpose to publish them.[28] Wired eventually
published the full logs in July 2011.[25]

Manning was arrested on May 26, 2010, and held at first in a military jail at Camp Arifjan in Kuwait.[29] He was
charged on July 5 under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) with violations of UCMJ Articles 92 and
134 for "transferring classified data onto his personal computer and adding unauthorized software to a classified
computer system in connection with the leaking of a video of a helicopter attack in Iraq in 2007," and
"communicating, transmitting and delivering national defense information to an unauthorized source and
disclosing classified information concerning the national defense with reason to believe that the information could
cause injury to the United States," between November 19, 2009, and May 27, 2010. [30] He was also one of those
named in the Twitter subpoena later in December, when the U.S. government tried to obtain access to the Twitter
accounts of several of those involved.[31]
On March 1, 2011, an additional 22 charges were preferred, including wrongfully obtaining classified material for
the purpose of posting it on the Internet, knowing that the information would be accessed by the enemy; the illegal
transmission of defense information; fraud; and aiding the enemy. CBS reported that the new charges involved the
leaking of the Afghan and Iraq war logs, and a quarter of a million State Department cables; according to ABC
News, the charge sheets said Manning had transferred 380,000 records about Iraq, and 90,000 about Afghanistan.
In all, CBS said, he is accused of having leaked over half a million documents and two videos. Prosecutors told
Manning's lawyers they would not seek the death penalty, though the charge of aiding the enemy is a capital
10. offense. They said if convicted he will face life imprisonment, reduction in rank to the lowest enlisted pay grade, a
dishonorable discharge, and loss of pay and allowances. [32]
[edit] Detention at Marine Corps Base Quantico
On July 29, 2010, Manning was moved from Kuwait to the Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia, and classified
as a "maximum custody detainee" held under a "Prevention of Injury" assignment until April 2011. At Quantico he
was detained in a 6 x 12 ft cell, with no window, furnished with a bed, toilet and sink, and with meals taken in his
cell. According to The Washington Post, the facility had 30 cells built in a U shape, and although the detainees
could talk to one another, they were unable to see each other, according to his lawyer, David Coombs, a former
military attorney and member of the United States Army Reserve. Coombs said in December 2010 that the guards
were professional, and had not tried to bully, harass, or embarrass Manning. He was allowed outside his cell to
walk for up to one hour a day, shackled. There was access to television for limited periods when it was placed in
the corridor outside his cell. He was allowed to keep one book and one magazine in his cell—according to Leigh
and Harding, he requested Immanuel Kant's Critique of Pure Reason (1781)—but otherwise no writing materials,
though access to them was given during allotted times. He was shackled during visits.[33]
A Prevention of Injury order is one stop short of suicide watch. It entails checks by guards every five minutes, and
no sleeping during the day. His lawyer said he was not allowed to sleep between 5 am (7 am at weekends) and 8
pm, and if he tried to, was made to stand or sit up. He was required to remain visible at all times, including at
night, which entailed no access to sheets, no pillow except one built into his mattress, and a blanket designed not to
be shredded. Until March 2011 he was required to sleep in boxer shorts, and had experienced chafing of the skin
from the heavy blanket.[33] On March 2, he was told that an Article 138 complaint filed in January by his lawyer—
asking that he be removed from maximum custody and prevention-of-injury watch—had been denied. His lawyer
said Manning subsequently joked to the guards that, if he wanted to harm himself, he could do so "with the elastic
waistband of his underwear or with his flip-flops." This resulted in him being required to sleep without clothing
and present himself naked outside his cell for morning inspection, which his lawyer described as ritual humiliation,
though from around March 10 onwards he was given a wrap-around smock with Velcro fasteners to sleep in. In
response to the incident, the brig psychiatrist classified him as at low risk of suicide. [34]
[edit] Manning letter from jail
Manning's lawyer released an 11-page letter from Manning on March 10, 2011, written to the U.S. military in
response to their decision to retain his Prevention of Injury status. In the letter, he described having been placed on
suicide watch for three days in January, and having had his clothing removed, apart from underwear, as well as
prescription eyeglasses; he said the loss of the latter forced him to sit in "essential blindness." He wrote that he
believed this was done as retribution for a protest his supporters had held outside the jail the day before; he alleged
that, just before the suicide watch began, the guards began harassing him and issuing conflicting orders, telling him
to turn left, then not to turn left. He also described being required to sleep without clothes and stand naked for
morning parade: "The guard told me to stand at parade rest, with my hands behind my back and my legs spaced
shoulder width apart. I stood at "parade rest" for about three minutes until the DBS [duty brig supervisor] arrived.
... The DBS looked at me, paused for a moment, and then continued to the next detainee's cell. I was incredibly
embarrassed at having all these people stare at me naked. ..." He wrote that the smock he was later given to wear at
night was coarse and uncomfortable, and that he regarded the removal of his other clothing as unlawful pretrial
punishment.[35]
[edit] Complaints about detention, government response
The conditions of his detention prompted international concern. David House, the computer scientist allowed to
visit him twice a month, said in December 2010 that he had watched Manning change from an intelligent young
man to someone who appeared catatonic and had difficulty conducting a conversation. Democratic Rep. Dennis
Kucinich and Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg, a WikiLeaks volunteer, compared the treatment to
11. what happened inside the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. Ellsberg wrote that it amounted to "no-touch torture", and that
its purpose was to demoralize Manning so he would implicate WikiLeaks and Julian Assange. [36]
A Quantico spokesman said in January 2011 that allegations of mistreatment were "poppycock," and that Manning
had been designated "maximum custody" because his escape would pose a national security risk. The spokesman
said Manning could talk to guards and prisoners in other cells, though he could not see the prisoners, and left his
cell for a daily hour of exercise, and for showers, phone calls, meetings with his lawyer, and weekend visits by
friends and relatives. Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell and Pentagon General Counsel Jeh Johnson visited
Quantico in February 2011 to examine the conditions of the detention. Morrell said he was impressed by the
professionalism of the staff, and that Manning's housing and treatment were appropriate. He said: "It just so
happens that the configuration of the brig is that every individual is confined to his or her own cell. He's being
provided well-balanced, nutritious meals three times a day. He receives visitors and mail, and can write letters. He
routinely meets with doctors, as well as his attorney. He's allowed to make telephone calls. And he is being treated
just like every other detainee in the brig."[37]
Juan E. Mendez, a United Nations Special Rapporteur on torture, submitted an inquiry about Manning to the U.S.
State Department around January 2011, and in April accused the government of prevarication in response to his
request for an unmonitored meeting with Manning, saying he was deeply disappointed and frustrated.[38] Amnesty
International issued a complaint to the U.S. Secretary of Defense, and asked the British government to intervene on
the grounds that Manning is a British citizen by descent through his Welsh mother. The British Embassy in
Washington expressed concern to the State Department in March; Manning's case was raised in the British
parliament by Labour MP Ann Clwyd, who is Welsh; and in April Manning's mother asked that British consular
officials visit him in prison.[39] Manning himself has not asked for assistance from the British government, and his
lawyer has said Manning does not regard himself as a British citizen. [40]
In March, State Department spokesman Philip J. Crowley, speaking to a small audience, called Manning's
treatment "ridiculous and counterproductive and stupid"; he resigned two days later, reportedly under pressure
from the White House. His remark, described as a personal opinion, prompted reporters to ask President Obama to
comment on Manning's detention at a news conference; he replied: "... I have actually asked the Pentagon whether
or not the procedures that have been taken in terms of his confinement are appropriate and are meeting our basic
standards. They assured me that they are. I can't go into details about some of their concerns, but some of this has
to do with Private Manning's safety as well."[41] He added later that Manning had broken the law.[42]
In April, 295 scholars signed a letter published in the New York Review of Books objecting to the conditions of
Manning's detention. Signatories included Yochai Benkler and Laurence Tribe of Harvard Law School and Bruce
Ackerman of Yale Law School. The letter said the conditions of the detention were a violation of the U.S.
Constitution, specifically the Eighth Amendment's prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment, and the Fifth
Amendment's guarantee against punishment without trial, and that if the conditions continued they might amount
to a violation of the criminal statute against torture: "procedures calculated to disrupt profoundly the senses or the
personality."[43]
[edit] Detention at Fort Leavenworth
The Pentagon transferred Manning on April 20, 2011, to the Midwest Joint Regional Correctional Facility, a new
medium-security facility in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. [3] The prevention-of-injury order was lifted, his clothes
were not removed at night, and he was placed in a cell with a large window with natural light and a normal
mattress. He was able to mix with other pre-trial detainees, write whenever he wanted, and keep personal objects,
such as books and letters, in his cell. [44]
[edit] Article 32 hearing
An Article 32 hearing[45] started on December 16, 2011, in Fort Meade, Maryland.[46]
12. [edit] Friends and supporters
Rally in Quantico, Virginia, August 2010
The Bradley Manning Support Network was formed in June 2010 by Mike Gogulski, an American living in
Slovakia. Manning's friend, David House, was also involved in founding it, and it was coordinated by Courage to
Resist, which supports war resisters within the military. Several notable figures joined its advisory board, including
Daniel Ellsberg, one of 30 protesters arrested outside the Quantico base in March 2011; filmmaker Michael Moore,
who contributed $5,000; Ray McGovern, a former CIA analyst; Ann Wright, a retired army colonel; and Robert
Meeropol. Rallies were held in the United States, Canada, the Netherlands, and Ireland, and by January 2011
donations for Manning's defense had risen to over $100,000, including $15,100 from WikiLeaks. [47]
The hacker group Anonymous threatened in March 2011 to disrupt activities at Quantico by cyber-attacking
communications and exposing information about personnel, calling it "Operation Bradical." [48]
Manning was one of 241 candidates listed for the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize.[49]

contacted Lamo the very day that Poulsen's Wired article on Lamo's involuntary commitment appeared (the
Wired article is time-stamped 5:46 p.m. on May 20).
"Lamo, however, told me that Manning found him not from the Wired article—which Manning
never mentioned reading—but from searching the word "WikiLeaks" on Twitter, which led him to a
tweet Lamo had written that included the word "WikiLeaks." Even if Manning had really found
Lamo through a Twitter search for "WikiLeaks," Lamo could not explain why Manning focused on
him, rather than the thousands of other people who have also mentioned the word "WikiLeaks" on
Twitter, including countless people who have done so by expressing support for WikiLeaks."
