US WikiLeaks Defense Says Army Ignored Manning's Bizarre Acts -- Voice of America
FORT MEADE, MARYLAND — Lawyers for Bradley Manning, the U.S. soldier convicted of giving classified documents to WikiLeaks, sought to show during a sentencing hearing on Tuesday that the Army ignored his mental health problems and bizarre behavior.
