Bradley Manning Speaks: In Leaked Court Recording, Army Whistleblower Tells His Story for First Time
A leaked audio recording has emerged of the statement Army whistleblower Bradley Manning delivered at his pre-trial hearing in military court late last month. Manning acknowledged he gave hundreds of thousands of classified documents to WikiLeaks, saying he wanted to show the American public the "true costs of war" and "spark a domestic debate on the role of the military and our foreign policy in general as it related to Iraq and Afghanistan." This is the first time Manning's voice has been heard publicly since he was arrested nearly three years ago. We air excerpts of his remarks, hearing Manning describe in his own voice the moment he decided to release the documents, and the outrage he felt at the "Collateral Murder" video of an Apache helicopter attack in Iraq.

Wikileaks has obtained and decrypted this previously unreleased video footage from a US Apache helicopter in 2007. It shows Reuters journalist Namir Noor-Eldeen, driver Saeed Chmagh, and several others as the Apache shoots and kills them in a public square in Eastern Baghdad. They are apparently assumed to be insurgents. After the initial shooting, an unarmed group of adults and children in a minivan arrives on the scene and attempts to transport the wounded. They are fired upon as well. The official statement on this incident initially listed all adults as insurgents and claimed the US military did not know how the deaths ocurred. Wikileaks released this video with transcripts and a package of supporting documents on April 5th 2010 on http://collateralmurder.com

"In the one-hour seven-minute recording from a court hearing in late February, Private First Class Manning describes how he wanted to expose the "bloodlust" of US forces fighting in the Middle East and how he had a "clear conscience" after helping to engineer the largest intelligence leak in American history. "*
There has been a high level of secrecy around Bradley Manning's court marshal. In audio released by the Freedom of the Press Foundation, Manning explains in his testimony why he released the information. Does he sound like someone who's "anti-American" or someone who deserves to spend the rest of his life behind bars?
