The Wikileaks editor — who was released on bail in London on Thursday — denied knowing Bradley Manning, the army private who is being held in a military jail in Quantico, Virginia on charges that include leaking classified material. “I had never heard of the name Bradley Manning before it was published in the press,” Assange told ABC News on Friday.Which just happens to run counter to what Manning said in an earlier conversation.
As a low-ranking intelligence analyst, he had access to a vast archive of sensitive documents on the military’s classified computer network, SIPRnet or the Secret Internet Protocol Router Network. In online conversations published in the magazine Wired, with a former hacker, Adrian Lamo, Manning said “let’s just say ‘someone’ I know intimately well, has been penetrating U.S. classified networks,” and transferring the data “to a crazy white-haired Aussie who can’t seem to stay in one country very long,” an apparent reference to Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks.Seeing how Bradley must be well aware of the comfort of Julian’s detention area compared to his cell, I wonder what else Pvt. Manning can enlighten us about regarding Assange’s activities? Someone is lying here and there appears to be one who has more to lose than the other.
