WASHINGTON - An Army officer is recommending a general court-martial for a low-ranking intelligence analyst charged in the biggest leak of classified information in U.S. history. Lt. Col. Paul Almanza's recommendation regarding Pfc. Bradley Manning now goes up the chain of command for a final determination. Military District of Washington commander Maj. Gen. Michael Linnington will ultimately decide whether Manning will stand trial.
Defense lawyers say Manning was clearly a troubled young soldier. They say the Army never should have sent him to Iraq or given him access to classified material.

ooh... this ticks me off. they sent over a very emotionally upset young man to do low level work and gave him access despite that, and their horrible protections of info led to this. I pray for ya Bradley. I hope your lawyer and the Obama Admin convince the mil to not go overboard and to, instead, accept some egg on their faces concerning this.
FREE BRADLEY MANNING!

Her "horrible protections" of the purse led to the theft, I guess...

4. your wife doesnt have millions of TS files in her purse |
|
and if your wife did have TS files, but arguably wasn't stable, then you should be blamed for letting her carry it if you knew she wasn't stable. The robber/wiki is a side point that doesn't figure in the initial failure.
